The Simple way to raise a few skills.... hints and tips for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Simple way to raise a few skills....

A few skills can be easily raised with a little patience....

Alchemy: Get the ingredients of one potion, and duplicate them all loads of times (at least 300). Then make the potions using a mortar and pestle.

Conjuration: Summon skeletons all the way to level 100! To make this slghtly easier and quicker, get a strong potion of sorcery, duplicate it about 100 times, and hot key it for easy access. Conjure skeletons until you run out of magika, then drink a potion. Rinse and repeat.

Alteration: Using the same potion technique, just cast open easy lock on a door. You may want to use open very easy lock for very low levels...

Illusion: Again, using the potion technique, keep casting the spell 'illuminate'.

Mysticism: Yet again, use the potion technique, and keep casting minor life detection.

Destruction: To easily raise this, get the horse shadowmere from the dark brotherhood quest line. Keep casting fire spells on him. Dont worry, he is invincible, therefore you can only knock him out (unconsious). Using the potion technique also helps here

Sneak: Having any spell that makes you invisible helps for the first part of this. Walk into a shop that has a desk near a wall (in other words, there is a wall, then the shop dude, then a wall behind him). Use invisibility to walk behind him. Now tilt the analog stick back very slightly so you are slowly walking backwards(make sure you are in sneak mode!)If you have the patience, hold the analog stick backwards with your hand. But if you want to save yourself the hand ache, put a blob of bluetack on your controller so that it just holds the analog stick backwards. Then sit back and watch your sneak skill rise!

Hope this helped!
