Jackal2233 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Unlike Oblivion, it seems Skyrim has made it harder. I don't like to cheat, even if that means I'm running around casting a "heal 3 hitpoints" spell in Oblivion repeatedly. But in Skyrim... it seems based on amount of hitpoints healed or something. Anyways... let's discuss the best ways to train your skills... Alchemy/Enchantment- Not very hard to train, just need a bunch of soul gems and soul trap spell, and enchanting anything you can, or collecting/buying ingredients and making potions Onehanded/Twohanded/Block/Archery/Destruction/Speech- Requires extensive use, no easy way found- Combat skills can be trained with trolls on low levels as they regen Light/Heavy armor- Getting hit, and healing at the same time Smithing- TOO EASY to train, just make a bunch of iron daggers/leather bracers Restoration- Sitting on a fire trap and continously healing- Or better to get hit while healing Pickpocket- Easy to train, just takes a ton of reloading, pickpocketing everyone Sneak- Simple to train, but very time consuming at high levels Lockpicking- Argh, pain to train Anyone have better ideas?

Iv000 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) There is an easy way to train your offensive skills. Though it has some minor Dark Brotherhood spoilers. After you get Shadowmere, she is basically your training dummy. Attacking her won't make her aggressive towards you and she has a lot more health then other horses, and her health regenerates fast too.Though that's just exploiting game mechanics and isn't fun.

csgators Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Why not just play? I see no point in training at all in Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMonkey Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) What i do... Harvest (Ore, furs, rings etc ech that don't weight too much) Forge Ore and fursEnchant just forged and found rings armors pieces etc you don't need powerfull enchantments only use tiny stones.Sell enchanted stuffs., notice enchanted stuffs allways get higher value than originals. Harvest => Forge => Enchant => Sell =>Harvest => Forge => etc...... you win Weap, armors skills (Harvest) Forge, Enchantment, Speek skills and you make money. Sometimes i get 2 or 3 levels without getting out of town, just by forging enchanting selling what i had in my inventory. And it's an easy way to have early powerfull equipment.

Pushkatu Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Fast training(wich is kinda of a cheat/exploit) :yes:=> couple of hours of "whoa" :woot:and "wow" :laugh:=> then, a couple of hours later, you're bored.:sad: I like to train my skills in combat and based on my actions. I'm level 30 and I still use the elven armour I found at level 8-10. I'd like to get the glass one, but so far I've only found glass weapons.

Jackal2233 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Heh, yes playing the game will automatically improve your skills, but for me and my characters, it's nice to just chill at times, relaxing to the soundtrack, improving your skills at the same time. One of my complaints of Skyrim is the removal of the athletics skill. Every second I run, no matter how short, is improving myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalRookie Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Alteration - Cast Detect Life in the middle of a highly populated area, drain mana bar, rinse, and repeat. Can be maxed within an hour if you do it in White Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
