I set up Skyrim on my computer, and started playing around with my character's level, using the console. This makes sense, as 65, is the maximum value you can store in a bit unsigned integer the type of 'container' one might use to store and represent a player characters level in video game logic.
When you tell a computer to 'add one' to a 'maximum value', it resets back to 0. This behaviour can be observed a lot more easily in early computer games, as they would often use smaller containers to save memory. Out of curiosity, I thought I would see what happens if I manually level up from level 65, I used the console to give myself the ingredients required to make 10, invisibility potions. I found the nearest alchemy table, and spent the next 30 minutes spamming R.
I made the following observations:. Extrapolating this information outwards, I predict needing to hit up to legendary rank before seeing the progress required for the next level. By mass-producing invisibility potions, I predict that this would take upwards of 28 solid hours.
I'd like to expand on what GalacticNinja stated, an example of an easy way to level up, though this isn't the only way. At the start of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, if the player chooses to follow the Imperial Guard I think and you are searching for some armour and a sword, it is set so once you open the chest, it continues to the next room. However, were you to instead pick up the sword on the wall and sneak behind the person you followed, you can hit them with the sword without being detected or instigating aggression.
It takes roughly 50 minutes to max out the sneak skill, as for the one-handed skill, it should be around 32 the first time. Once both sneak and one-handed are made legendary at least once and then taken back up to level , you have the benefit of being practically undetectable in the darkness while having a killer one-handed skill If you'll excuse the pun.
Once you get a dagger, you will be able to one-hit kill just about anything if they didn't scale up in level to you. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

In other words, some dungeons are designed to be too difficult for low-level characters to enter. More challenging dungeons are generally located at higher elevations, meaning that early in the game, players may want to avoid mountainous regions. However, more difficult dungeons contain better rewards.
In addition, some high-quality items can be randomly found even early in the game. In addition, all leveled enemies are generated more like leveled creatures in Fallout. The player's level affects the range of possible bandit types generated within a bandit dungeon, and probably the frequency, but does not seem to affect the resulting stats except in a few rare cases.
Lower variant bandits remain reasonably common even when more dangerous bandits are available. Enemy types also seem to reach a plateau where they stop getting stronger. The strongest bandits non-boss are mids. The strongest generic vampire is 54, and guards seem to stop scaling at This implies that the difficulty of many areas will not increase beyond certain levels, except perhaps in frequency of difficult encounters.
In other words, dungeons have a level range, where if you do not meet the level requirement, you will face the lowest range of the dungeon.
For instance, if a dungeon is ranged from level 15 to 25, and you are level 10, you will face creatures in the dungeon scaled at level However, at the other end of the scale, most dungeons become relatively trivial after you've played the game for a while and have leveled up enough.
The highest random leveled enemies in the original game are Ancient Dragons and Dragon Priests , but even these enemies were only meant to fight players around level All NPCs tagged as Essential can be used as effective training dummies for combat skills. The best ones to use are those that will not report you for assault, such as Hadvar or Ralof during Unbound, or any of the Greybeards. However, even these examples may sometimes report you, though giving you zero bounty crimes that cannot be cleared, but causing problems with guards and crime-fighting citizens.
Committing a crime with a bounty attached and paying it off should clear any zero bounty crimes. There are multiple opportunities to infinitely level some of your skills during the opening quest, but it is quite easy to break the game by over-leveling. The game-breaking comes because the enemies you face will be far too hard to kill, and can kill you very easily. If you decide to use one of these methods and have a high starting level make sure at least one of your combat skills is leveled appropriately so you can cope in the much more dangerous Skyrim you have created.
It is also recommended that you focus your attribute bonuses on health in order to better survive while you find some suitable armor. None of the methods here are unique, but the opportunity at such an early stage is worthy of mention. The first opportunity to level is during your escape inside the burned-out tavern. In the corner facing the area where Alduin lands in front of Hadvar and Haming you can crouch and hide to level up your Sneak skill. This corner can be tricky to use as you will randomly be spotted by Alduin, and this method is rather slow.
This is also the first and only way to level any skill before entering the keep. Once inside the keep and hands are untied you can use magic. Your range of spells is rather limited and at this point you can only use flames to level at a rate quicker than painfully slowly, but your companion will not move until you arm yourself with a weapon, so you can take as long as you want and burn him to level your Destruction.
You can also wait until after the torture room where you can pick up some clothing with magic bonuses and attack your companion at every chance you get. The next opportunities depend on who you side with see below. The last opportunity during the quest comes with the bear at the end of the escape tunnel. At this point you are given a bow and some arrows. You can shoot your companion with these and any other arrows you have collected to get some free levels in Archery, but you cannot recover the arrows in order to continually boost your levels.
However, you can level your One-handed, Two-handed, Destruction, and Sneak in conjunction with One-handed infinitely by attacking your companion Sneak is leveled by crouching and attacking with either a One-handed weapon or bow. As long as you don't attract the attention of the bear and subsequently kill it your companion will remain by the cart.
A final chance comes with the bear. As long as you stay within range without it detecting you your skill will rise. The unique opportunity comes with the friendly Torturer, as long as he survives the fight in the room. You will need to use one of the iron daggers found here as the Torturer is not essential and can die, however he will not turn on you unless you make three quick attacks on him.
Equip one of the daggers and then start sneak-attacking him with normal attacks not power attacks.

Although skills will of course increase with regular usage, some are still far easier to level than others: archers, for instance, might find that thier Light Armor skill is almost never levelled because they're mostly taking out targets with one- or two-shot kills from stealth, whilst conjurers might find that their Conjuration skill is only trickling upwards because of how rarely they'll actually need to summon a new companion in battle. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take in-game, before you start grinding a skill, that can get you summoning Atronachs and prancing around the wilderness in weightless Light Armor in no time:.

Before the patch 1. Therefore, it was impossible to gain more experience once every skill reached its maximum value of one hundred in the gameplay. After the game has received the patch of 1. But it would help if you were warned that you could lose all the benefits by having a high Skyrim level of skill. The advantage of making skills legendary is that you can continue leveling up and earn extra perks.
But also note down the disadvantage, and it says that the difficulty level increases as the enemies will not have the reduced skills. In Skyrim, the current maximum level cap is eighty-one without having any legendary skill. But you should note that experience is the factor earned strictly along with the skills up as leveling towards skill X will reward you with X amount of experience regarding your other level.
