Easy magic skills increase
Complete all the Mage Guild Recommendation Quests to gain access to the Arcane University. Buy the cheapest spell you can find for each of the magic based skills (Illusion, Conjuration,
Alteration, Mysticism, Restoration and Destruction). For Destruction, a Drain Spell is recommended. Go to where you make your own spells and select a spell. Make it so you only use up 1 Magicka and the spell is on "Self". Name the spell and create it. Do this with all the other types of magic based skills then make them all on "Self", including Destruction. If you used a Drain spell, when you use it on yourself it may appear you took damage but you do not, because you drain it from yourself to yourself. Cast the spells all the time when you are walking around or whenever possible. Your skills will increase quickly without having to wait between spellcastings. Note: This trick will only work if the spells are cast on "Self". Spells do not count towards experience unless they have an effect on something.
PC Note: Instead of constantly casting the spell manually, enable the "StickyKeys" option in the "Windows Accessibility Options" section of the Windows XP Control Panel. Bind "Cast" to [Ctrl], [Alt], or [Shift]. Tap whichever key that you have bound one time while in-game to cast the spell indefinitely.
Easy skill bonuses
Complete all the Mage Guild Recommendation Quests to
gain access to the Arcane University. Create a Fortify Skill 100
spell that lasts for a few seconds on self for Mercantile and/or
Armorer. With the Mercantile spell, cast it in front of a merchant,
activate them, and you will be able to invest 500 gold at their
store without being a Master in Mercantile. In addition, you can
drive harder bargains. For Armorer, cast the spell and then equip
an Armorer's Hammer. Your hammer can be used infinitely without
being a Master Armorer. You cannot, however, repair magical items
without having legitimately reached the Journeyman Armorer level.
Similar spells can be created for other attributes and/or skills:
Personality and Speechcraft for raising people's dispositions,
Security for picking any lock, etc.
Easy Acrobatic experience
To gain easy Acrobatic experience, just jump around
everywhere you go. You can gain many levels just by jumping while
moving to other destinations.
Find a place with a low roof or ceiling, or get on top of something
to make the ceiling or roof closer to you. Start jumping repeatedly
and you will hit the ceiling or roof and come down from fast.
This allows you to jump at very fast speeds depending on how close
you are to the ceiling or roof.
Easy Alchemy experience
Steal a mortar and pestle. Steal a lot of food items
and turn them into potions. It should not take too long before
you reach the Master Of Alchemy level.
Get two ingredients that form to make a potion. Use the "Duplicate
items" glitch on the ingredients to create a large number
of them. Then continually, make potions and your Alchemy will
increase extremely fast. Note: Only duplicate about 100 of each
ingredient at a time or the game will freeze.
Easy Alteration experience
To get quick levels in the Alteration skill, make sure
you have these spells: Open Average Lock, Open Easy Lock, and
Open Very Easy Lock. Then, find a chest that you would have to
normaly need a key or have to lock pick. Use the opposite spell
of the chest. For example, if the chest requires the easy spell,
use the very easy spell on it. Make sure you have some Magicka
potions or you can just wait an hour every time you exhaust you
Magicka supply. In no time you will have leveled your Alteration
skill dramatically.
When you get the Open Very Easy Lock spell, keep using it on all
boxes, barrels, and doors even if they are not locked. This will
quickly level up your Alteration skill.
Go to the Imperial City Market place at day and enter the shops.
Make sure you have at least Open Easy Lock equipped. Enter the
shops and use the spell on the basement and living quarters doors,
but do not enter them. Then, repeat in any other shops.
Use the following trick for easy Alteration and Security experience.
Note: You must have any locking spell. Find a door that is constantly
out of sight and cast a locking spell on it. Then, unlock it with
your lockpicks. Depending on your level you will level up these
skills two to three times a day (depending on level, amount of
Magika, and lockpick quality).
Easy Armorer experience
There is a woman named Arvena Thelas in the town of
Anvil who has four rats in her basement (the same as the first
Fighter's Guild quest). If your level is high enough that rats
do not cause you significant damage, you can break into her house,
annoy the rats by punching them (or casting drain fatigue spells
if your punch is too strong), then letting all four rats attack
you while you just cast an occasional heal spell. This is also
useful for raising your Block skill, and is much easier than repeatedly
causing summoned monsters to attack you.
Gain access to the Arcane University. Go to where you make spells
and make a spell that damages armor and put it on "self."
Use the "Duplicate items" glitch on repair hammers then
just cast and repair to get the skill up.
Finish the final Umbacano mission using the option of giving him
the fake crown. After the mission is complete, take the crown
off his corpse. The crown is broken and does not have a health
percentage. Buy many hammers and keep repairing it. Because it
has no health you can repair it an unlimited amount of times,
raising your Armorer skill quickly.
Easy Athletics experience
Get an enchanted amulet, ring, or other item you can enchant with Water Breathing. Make sure it is a constant effect. Equip the item with Water Breathing then jump in some water. Swim
to the bottom and just keep swimming into the floor. Your Athletics will greatly increase in five minutes.
PlayStation3
Xbox 360 To master your Athletics skill, go into the corner of a room and shut the door if one is present. Alternately, get a water breathing ring and stay under water. Once in the room or under water, tape the Left Analog-stick Forward, to force your character to keep running forward. Allow the game to idle like this.
PlayStation3
Xbox 360 Go to Lake Rumare around the Imperial City waterfront. Swim under the water for a bit to find a huge rock. Go as far down as you can against the rock. Tape the Left Analog-stick Forward and allow the game to idle. Your Athletic skills can increased by a lot. Make sure you are at a location on the rock where you will keep moving straight into it.
Easy Blade experience
Use the following trick to master your Blade skill quickly. Go to the Imperial Waterfront then go directly south from there. After awhile you should find a place called Faregyl Inn. Once inside, talk to Alix Lencolia. He will master your Blade skill. Note: You hould have at least 9,000 gold, but you do not have to do it all at once.
Easy Combat experience
Use the following trick for an easy Strength Bonus
modifier and Combat experience. Go to the Imperial City Market
District near the gate to the central circular plaza where there
are ramps leading down to a pond area. Stand in the water at the
base of the ramp (not submerged or you cannot conjure). Face up
the ramp and summon skeleton conjuration magic. It will summon
behind you in the water. If it is on the ramp in front of you
just push it in the water. The skeleton will not fight back while
submerged in the water. Buy a very basic weapon of each class
and set the difficulty to very hard. Raise your hand-to-hand,
blade, and blunt skill by ten levels in total, not each one. Then
rest at the Merchants Inn. It helps if you include two of these
skills as your major skills. Each level you will get the +5 strength
modifier, and can easily get to 100 Strength within the first
ten levels if you start the game with summon skeleton. Try this
trick with other more powerful summon monsters for later levels.
This is also an easy way to build conjuration and if you have
the patience and arrows, Marksman experience.
Easy Conjuration experience
Near the town of Bruna, go east, southeast. If you
reach The Red Ruby Cave you went too far. You will need to go
back west slightly. You should see a shrine, that will once activated,
will give you Conjuration points as well as a temporary bound
weapon and/or greaves. You can keep activating the shrine every
24 hours. Wait in front of it for 24 hours, then activate it again.
Repeat this as many times as desired.
Conjure a skeleton and continue pressing the spell repeatedly
while the skeleton is there until you run out of magic. Then,
do it all over again.
First, summon a skeleton in an area with no other people around.
Repeatedly use Turn Undead on it to quickly raise it.
Easy Destruction experience
First, summon a skeleton in an area with no other people
around. Repeatedly use a low-power attack spell on it.
Easy Hand-To-Hand experience
In order to make this work, you must have 100% or more
Invisibility or Chameleon. This is done by either enchanting a
number of armor, rings, or amulets, or you can enter an Oblivion
Gate and keep reloading the game until you find the Sigil Stone
that offers Silence and Chameleon. After you get that stone, use
the "Duplicate item" glitch and you can now instantly
enchant your items without the trouble of finding Soul Gems and
Souls. Now that you have Invisibility, go up to a guard and start
beating him up using hand-to-hand combat. When he dies, more guards
will keep spawning. You can just keep beating on them. You can
also find a character that is marked with a crown that will not
die, and only becomes unconscious. Because they do not see you,
it is not bad. Also, they never die, so you can endlessly beat
on them until you master Hand-To-Hand. Your skill increases about
every 20 seconds or more, depending on how high your skill level
already is.
Go to the Arena district in the Imperial City. You will see two
NPCs (an Argonian and an Imperial woman) fighting. Stand close
to them for a minute. Your Hand-To-Hand skill will increase by
5. Note: This can only be done once.
If you are in the Fighting Guild, you can watch to people training
and your blade and block will increase.
Easy Heavy Armor experience
Lower the difficulty down to zero. Put on your heavy
armor and let a weak monster such as a rat pummel you. When your
health gets low, heal yourself (this also helps with Restoration).
When you get strong enough, you can try letting a human hit you.
You will level up about every ten to fifty seconds, depending
on how many monsters or people are hitting you.
PC Enable the tgm code. Find an area with many
enemies, and possibly an Oblivion Gate. Let the enemies start
attacking you. Allow the game to idle and return when you feel
you have gained enough stat points. Note: You must stop and sleep
if you have gained enough stat points to level up. Note: This also can be done for Light Armor experience.
Easy Mercantile experience
Join a guild that has a building, like the Mages or
Fighting Guild. Go in and take as much as you can. Sell it for
profit and raise your Mercantile skill.
Easy Restoration experience
To do this, you must be far enough into the Mages Guild quests so you can make your own spells. Go there and make a Fortify Health, Fatigue or Magika. You can make it target or self, but
make sure it is only for one second. Then, repeatedly use it.
Press R1
PlayStation3 or RB
Xbox 360 to heal yourself whenever you have Magicka. This
heals you and increases your restoration skill.
Easy Sneak experience
A very easy way to increase your Sneak skill is to
find someone who is sleeping. Find a wall that they are near,
then run against the wall while sneaking. As long as no one can
see you, your skill will go increase until the person wakes. If
this happens, wait until night and allow them go back to sleep.
When you have the option to join the Thieves Guild by meeting
Armand Christope at the Imperial Water Front garden around 11
p.m., accept his task. He will offer you the option to buy lockpicks.
Do not buy any. Go into sneak mode and get behind him. Not only
will you get the lockpicks from him, you can also repeatedly pickpocket
him to build up your Sneak skill. He will just tell you to go
ahead, and that he does not need it anyway.
Whenever you get in jail, go into sneak mode. Move around for
awhile and your Sneak level will rise.
PlayStation3
Xbox 360 After the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim (during the opening
mission), leave the Emperor's body with one of his guards, Baurus.
After walking down the newly revealed "secret" passage,
turn around. You should still be able to see Emperor Septim's
body and part of Baurus. Walk to the nearest corner (to your left),
put yourself in sneak mode, then walk forward. Your Sneak level
will increase quickly from here. If you have a wired controller,
you can keep the Analog-stick held Forward and allow
the game to idle. Check back every fifteen minutes, as the game
will pause as you reach achieve Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert
or Master classifications. If you done correctly, you should be
at 100 Sneak within ninety minutes.
Join the Dark Brotherhood. When you recieve your first quest to
kill Rufio, enter his room and go into sneak mode. Rufio sleeps
for 20 hours a day. Walk around in his room to gain very easy
Sneak levels.

him. You should get easy Sneak experience if no one is in the
room because Schemer will not notice you. Note: You must be in
the Dark Brotherhood to do this.
Go to the Arena. When there, bet on a match and go in the door.
When you are in the door, go to the right and look for a man on
a chair. If he is not there, wait until match is over then go
outside and wait for a day. Then, go back and bet on another match
and look for the man again. If he is there, walk into the corner
behind him and sneak. Keep your character running into the wall

in about an hour.
Go to the Imperial City and get sent to jail. Once in jail, get
out by either pickpocketing a guard or by using the Open spell

you reach the desired level of Sneak.

Easy experience
When you are doing the arena and are about to fight
the Grand Champion, do his side quest first so that during the
fight he does not try. When you are about to actually fight him,
go into game options and set the difficulty to "Very Hard".
This give everyone you fight more health. When you are attacking
the Grand Champion, you can get a lot more free hits in without
worrying about him trying to fight back. This works even better
if you are using a very weak weapon. It is not about how much
damage you do that increases your levels, but how much you attack.
Your character must have a major skill of Sneak and either Destruction
or Alteration. If your skills are Sneak and Destruction, gain
access to the Arcane University. Go to the place to make spells.
Make a Drain Health spell and make sure that it is set to "Self"and
it only uses 1 Magicka. Then, go upstairs. Go into Sneak mode
and just run into the wall without stopping. Activate magic repeatedly.
You will soon gain levels quickly. Note: When you activate the
magic it will seem as if it is hurting you, but it is not. If
your skills are Sneak and Alteration, go into a room with a container
(for example, cupboard, drawers, etc.). Run into the container
in Sneak mode and use a "open very easy lock"repeatedly
on the container.
Make your character a Dark Elf with the birthsign Warrior, and
create a class with the following attributes: Athletics, Acrobatics,
Blade, Block, Blunt, Heavy Armor, and Marksman. Next complete
the arena to get leveled up. Then, get a horse and go to the lady
in Kvatch. Note: You may have to shut the Oblivion Gate. Once
on your horse, talk to the Orc woman at Kvatch and sell your most
expensive equipped weapon until you have 55,000 gold. Then, join
the Fighters Guild and complete your first mission. Then, go directly
south of Imperial City and find a bridge. Cross the bridge to
find a place called Vindisel. Kill a lady named Umbra and take
her armor, shield, and blade. Next, go to Imperial City and mess
with the guards. Every now and then when you are about to die,
run from Imperial City before the guards kill you, or pay the
fine using the gold from Kvatch. After you level up, go to any
Fighters Guild and train your major skills. Then, attack the Imperial
Guards and repeat.
Use the following trick for easy experience in Leyawiin (Blade,
Blunt, Hand to Hand, Destruction, Marksman and Sneak). Go to Leyawiin
find Rosentia Gallenus' House. She has four Scamps. You can kill
them and more will respawn. Sneak attack with a blade, mace, or
hand to hand. Then, use a bow and cast fire. Note: If you use
your bow, the arrows are hard to get back. Note: If you finish
the quest you cannot do this anymore.
Go to Cloud Ruler Temple northwest of Bruma. Walk up the big stairs.
You will see two Blades sparing. Stand close to them for a minute
and your Blade and Block skills will increase by 2. Note: This
can only be done once.
Use one of the "Easy money" hints and get at least 500,000
gold. Then find a place (taverns recommended) with two trainers
who train in any two of your major skills. Train with one of them
until you cannot do so anymore. Then, train with the second one
until you cannot anymore. By now you should get the level up icon.
Go to sleep and level up. You can repeat the process until you
reach maximum level or max out the two skills.
You must have Conjuration as a major skill. You will also need
Blade, Blunt or Marksman. Summon a monster such as a Scamp or
Skeleton. Kill it with your weapon or shoot it with arrows. Repeat
this for a few minutes and you will get the message to level up.
This may take longer if you already are at a higher level.
Easy stealing
Put on the Gray Fox's mask. Steal something and wait
for the guards to tell you, "Oh, you are the Gray Fox. I'm
going to kill you" (or something similar. Select "Resist
Arrest". Then, go to your inventory and take off the mask.
Exit the menu, then yield to the guard by holding Block
and pressing X to talk to him at the same time. He should
walk away. You will not have a bounty, and you will still have
the stolen item.
More Magika
Get into the Arcane University. Get some decent Soul
Gems with decent souls and enchant something constant effected
fortify Magika/Intelligence. With enchanted items (each roughly
20 points), it is useful. Use the duplicate item cheat to get
many Soul Gems.
Infinate recharge
Perform the "Duplicate items" glitch on a
Soul Gem. Pick them all up. When an item is on low charge you
can recharge it back to full without wasting money on Soul Gems
or going through the bother of soul trapping.

that recharges all of your items. By doing this you can recharge
them all at once.
Invisibility
Complete all the Mage Guild Recommendation Quests so
that you can enter the Arcane University. Get five or more Grand
Soul Gems and fill them with Grand Souls. Buy a Chameleon spell
such as Shroudwalk from a mage. Go to the place where you enchant
weapons with the following: two rings, one necklace or amulet,
and any two pieces of armor. Enchant the rings, amulet and armor
with the Chameleon effect using the Grand Soul Gems. You will
get 20% Chameleon for each of the equipment, for a total of 100%.
Equip them all at once and you will be invisible to everyone.
You can now steal directly from people and attack anything without
fear of retaliation because they cannot see you. Use this to cause
mischief around towns, finish quests or dungeons without getting
in battles, or to defeat an enemy without getting hurt. Note:
You must wear all the pieces at once to be 100% invisible. You
can use any other type of equipment as long as there are at least
five pieces and all have been enchanted using Grand Soul Gems.
Some enemies may hit you once, but they will not do so again.
Stat boost
If you complete all fifteen of the Daedric quests,
the final prize is a major stat boost. You can choose any of the
three major skill sets; Combat, Guile, or Magic. Each gives you
a 10 point permanent boost to the related stats and some of the
related skills. It is extremely worth it considering all the other
good items you will get while doing the Daedric quests. You can
activate up to 14 at once if you are at a high enough level. The
final quest requires level 21+, and you must have completed all
of the other Daedric quests.
Get a Sigil Stone of your choice and either an already enchanted
item or regular item. Enchant the item with a Sigil Stone. Then,
use the "Duplicate items" glitch on it to get a permanent
stat boost to whatever the item was meant to increase. Repeat
this with the same or different enchantment to continuously get
stat boosts in that category. You can then sell the extra copies
for extra gold. Note: Do not try to duplicate more than 250 copies
of an item or the game will freeze.
Nord: Easy kills
If you selected a Nord as your race, choose The Lover
as you star pattern. This makes it extremely eay to kill someone.
First, get them down a bit in health. Then use The Lover's star
pattern ability to stun them. while they are stunned, hit them
with Nordic Frost. This will kill almost all enemies and works
well as a finisher.
Endless health

process.
ogsidp gcecsyt ianr
Instant kill spell
Turn the difficulty all the way down. Go to the Skingrad Mages Guild. Seek out Vigge the Cautious and buy the Weakness to Magicka spell from him. Then, seek out Druja the Argonian (also in the Skingrad Mages Guild) and buy the Minor Wound spell from her. Both are novice level spells. Go to a spellmaking altar, either at the Arcane University or Frostcraig Spire. Create a spell with the following effects in the following order:
- Weakness to Magicka 100% in 1ft for 1 sec on target
- Drain Health 100pts in 1ft for 1 sec on target
The end spell will be an apprentice level spell, and requires
less than fifty points to cast for a level one mage Breton. It
is important that you do these in the correct order, because the
effects will be applied in the order you add them. Done correctly,
this spell will first weaken an enemy to Magicka 100%, so that
you drain 200 points of health from your intended target. It will
last only one second, but if you turn the difficulty all the way
down, then no enemy will have more than 200 points of health (not
even Xivalias). Once a character's health reaches zero for any
length of time, they will die. You can take down anything in one
shot with this spell, even Mankar Camoran, who is 20 levels above
you.
