playing Skyrim (xbox) (2 years to late) need hints/tips for reps 200k+

[DanND33]

bought a used Skyrim for xbox 360 (balling on a budget lol, MMMC for life yo!) and now I'm addicted. Soo much to do. Will rep for hints, tricks, easter eggs, etc.

already went through youtube vids and such. wanted to see if this forum found any cool ones.

[polkster84]

I was thinking about firing up Skyrim on Xbox the other day. I just took my xbox out of storage after coming home from Korea. I started Fallout instead though.

own Skyrim on PS3, same chit anyway

what kind of info do you need? what mainly interests you?

also I brought Skyrim the moment it was released and I'm still playing it haha

[NORCALpump]

Depends on what kind of stuff you want to know

easy ways to level up, cool places to visit, what the best weapon there is, etc

[Dave P]

Personally I think B-lining for the Ebony mines, stocking up on as much Ebony ore as possible, and getting your smithing up to be able to make Ebony Armor should be priority #1.


Some good weapons....Mace of Molag Baal is pretty good.

Just enjoy the game *******. Stop looking for exp hacks or best weapons srs


On the North eastern part of the map, there's a Mammoth frozen in ice, which I thought was pretty cool

[JimmyRustlebrah]

well easy (and ****gy) way to level up quickly is spamming the skills you're concentrating on, for example if you are concentrating on illusion you can keep using the magic muffle on yourself, not only will you level up illusion you'll also level up your own character. If you wanna level up armour just find easy enemies (wolves/bandits) to constantly hit you etc, there are many different ways. I personally don't spam anything and I level up naturally, you can ruin a great game that way.

Best weapons is very subjective, my fav weapon is the katana sword and the Daedric Dagger, and most people will say Daedric weapons are the best.

make sure you join guilds which you think will suit your character, great story lines and lots of fun.

Buy houses for yourself so you can store your items in there

if you have followers and you are running out of inventory space, just make them carry your items

i'll think of more once i remember

[NotAesthetic]

One of the best ways to power level is to get a shield and block enemies. The stronger the better (like giants).

Dual wield and attack speed shout is pretty OP too

[BrahPlease]

Visit the eldergleam sanctuary. Nice people and a cool quest. And check out blackreach, its a huge underground alien cavern thats under half the map

[Meatie]

do the whispering door quest to get the ebony blade. probably one of the most luls worthy weapons in the game.

[Beerculez]

One handed and archery are probably the best offensive skills. As far as magic goes conjuration is the best, destruction magic doesn't scale well as you level up, allthough there is a way to make it work with the stagger perk.

If you want to do archery combining it with sneaking is really great. Stealth builds are pretty good.

Also Imo light armor is much better than heavy armor. The blocking tree is actually pretty good if you want to use a sword and a shield, some of the skills there are quite useful and the sword and shield playstyle is quite fun.

If you want you can break the game by maxing out alchemy, enchanting and smithing. This will allow you to make super powerful weapons and have infinite magica. I'd be vary of doing this if I were you, it takes the fun out of the game a bit. Maybe only focus on smithing for example but don't go full abuse mode and max out all 3.

I can recommend the dragonborn expansion, that one is great.

if you want tricks for levelling up just search ''conjuration levelling skyrim'' for example on youtube, lots of easy ways to grind up levels if you want to. quick tips off the top of my head though:

for sneaking and one handed, do the dark brotherhood quest and get the horse from them, then sneak attack stab it over and over to rank up those 2 skills, works for archery and destruction too I think. It works because that horse has a lot of health and regens fast. For blocking, find some giants. Turn the setting to easy so they don't instakill you. For conjuration levelling, spam soul trap on your horse. For smithing, craft lots of iron daggers. for enchanting, enchant said daggers. For alchemy well I'd look up a tutorial for that. To level up illusion spam the muffle spell.

Other than that, just explore a lot and have fun, that's what the game is about really. Main quest is so, so but exploring and doing side quests is where the realy fun is in my opinion.

[iiradman]

Want the best possible time?

Just play the game. It seems like you want a 'shortcut' to the 'fun'. The fun will come not from tricks, but from normal play.

And if you want the best hint there is, do the thieves guild. It should provide you with all the tricks and magic you're lookin' for.

not looking for a short cut. knowing tricks is part of the fun for me

[Haffie]

Sneak archer, brb 1 shot everyone srs and maxing stealth = never get caught
Also go here for some easy loot

this, another ****gy way to get your smithing up is to constantly make iron daggers

[SillieBazzillie]

I liked summing the demon thing and watching it make quick work of my enemies while I sat back mirin.

strong avi wtf

this lol. i'm level 57 but without my dremora lord i'd be getting wrecked by enemies

[craig84]

very easy way to level up/get smithing up:

go to the blacksmiths and buy all of their leather. go outside and use their stuff to make leather armor that costs the cheapest. just travel around and keep doing this. i think it is one of the faster ways to level up very fast for the first 20 levels or so.

explain this further

[SammyJr]

explain this further

conjuration. you can summon a dremora lord at like lvl 75 conjuration. super powerful guy.


i miss oblivion though, you used to be able to summon a lot more stuff

[hackerwacker]

Get Azura's star ASAP

[yeah_buddy25]

do the dark bortherhood's quest... best quest in the game storywise... not as good as the db's quest in oblivion though

[Didlid]

if you want an easy ride through the whole game just sit at the smithing vendor and get 100 smithing fast forwarding days every time he runs out of stock. When you get 100 go the mages guild and buy deadric hearts (do the same thing wait 48 hours) and the shop should restock.

i think with this i used to rob my money back off him too after i sold the armour i made.

I got to level 100 doing in the first day i had it lol.



not sure if it still works as i done this like a year ago but give it a shot, i don't see why it wouldn't.

doing that kind of stuff makes the game very boring imo

[Didlid]

doing that kind of stuff makes the game very boring imo

I agree thats probably why i didn't even complete the story i was stupidly high level in the first week of release.


Only do these things OP if you don't mind a cake walk through the game. You can do the same as i mentioned with stuff like block (just stand blocking against a weak enemy) armour (just let them hit you) etc.

if you search youtube theres loads of fast ways to level. but i would advise against it on your first run through no matter how tempting it is haha.

[megacyberninja]

Everybody teaching this dude how to break his character is going to demolish all his enthusiasm for the game.

OP... just play it.

[Fred87nc]

Do not max out your skills to get deadric armor until you are way over 100hours, even then it will ruin the game since you can one hit kill everything.

Just play the game enjoy it, its never too late for dat feel of playing a new game
