DRAGON KILLING FOR DUMMIES!

Basically all you have to do is enchant a sword or bow with lightning(you must also have a very high enchanting level for this, and the ability to smith enchanted weapons)then go kill a dragon.the reason why I use shock damage is that it deals neutral damage to dragons as they are only either fire or frost.since shock damage is neutral to dragons this means that it does the most damage out of all three elements.or you can just use the "silent moon" enchantment which is also neutral to dragons. Although if you want to use the effect of the "silent moon" you'll have to wait until night.(and only when at least one moon is visible.)

Leveling Enchanting, Smithing, and Conjuration in a simple routi

When in the college of Winterhold, you will find many soul gems, these are in the Archmage's quarters, and hall of countenance.

Once you have these use soul trap on enemies and kill them. (I suggest you use the Illusion spell Calm for this; it will stop the enemy, then you may approach it easily. And ALWAYS pick up the pelts)

Then,turn all the pelts to leather, leather strips, and make leather bracers (This levels up decently fast for Smithing at low levels. This is also known as the cheapest way!)

Finally enchant all those leather bracers and sell them all to a nearby merchant! (Activate the mage stone before doing this step, it makes enchanting level faster).

Hope this helps!

Critical hits with swords

For swords and Greatswords, there's a Perk in each tree which give them a chance to do critical damage. However, this extra damage is based off the weapon's original damage, not including any upgrades or damage modifiers. So the extra damage will be hardly noticeable.

Dual wielding tip

The speed of your dual wield attacks is always the same as the speed of the weapon in your left hand. So if you have a Dagger in your left hand and a Mace in your right, your dual wield attacks will be at the speed of the Dagger! Likewise, if you have the Mace in left hand instead, your dual wield attacks will be at the speed of the Mace.

Unlimited arrows of any type

To get unlimited arrows of any type, simply find someone that is doing target practise. Sneak up behind them and reverse Pickpocket just one arrow of the type you want, then Pickpocket off them any other arrows that they have. They will shoot an infinite amount of the arrow that you Pickpocketed on them, which you can pick up for free whenever you want - and it's not a crime!
Just make sure you save before you do this, just in case you get caught Pickpocketing.

Secret Perk

Nice little secret perk for ya.
Alright so firstly you need to have gotten far enough in the main quest to be able to recruit followers for the Blades (in Sky Haven Temple) from there you must recruit three followers into the blades. Then talk to Esbern and complete the Dragon Hunting quest, when you kill the dragon keep atleast one dragonbone and one dragonscale, return to Esbern. He will now ask you to help him with his research agree and you need to give him 1 dragonbone and 1 dragonscale.

In return he gives you a potion that once drunk gives you the secret perk, Dragon Infusion. This perk gives you a permanent effect of 25% Less Melee damage from Dragons.

DragonBane

In Sky Haven Temple there is a weapon by the name of DragonBane. Can only be found after defeating Alduin in the atrium just off the left to the main chamber also in room with it is Blades Armor.

This sword is a bit special as it has a levelled dmg rating. Depending on what level you are when you find it. It is also enchanted doing 20-40 pts of damage to dragons and 10 pts dmg to everything else.

Free Gems

If you have found Sky Haven Temple already then start by fast travelling there, then head South-West towards the river, once you arrive get in and swim until you find a small canoe. Within this canoe you should find a few gems. Gems being Rubies, Sapphires, emeralds, garnets, or diamonds. Flawless or not. You should also find a strongbox on the boat and under the water around the boat a chest.

Depending on your speech level you can fetch a pretty good price for them or you could get some gold/silver ingots and create jewelry at a forge to increase their value.

Getting past the "ice storm".

On highrothgar there is an ice storm that you must get past but are told that that you can get past it when you are ready.I for one could not wait,so I did a little mountain climbing and came across something that sparked my interest.it just so happens that you can get past it by climbing around it,the dropping down part is the kicker as you will almost certainly die from the fall.so I thought that using ebony flesh(a spell that you can steal from the safe in the silver-blood treasurey)would help break my fall.oh and you can also find the notched pickaxe at the very top of throat of the world.(it increases your mining ability and inflicts shock damage as a bonus).hope this helps.

Theives guild armor trick

Now as we all know, theives guild armor is not possible to get back once it is sold... Somewhat true and wrong. If you sold your armor well thats a different story but the rest you can get. The hands,head,and feet ware are near one of the beds in the theives guild sanctum well boots behind night stand.

Hope this helps, you greedy theives XD

Dont worry if you delete theives guild armor heres a lode off

Ok, as you know theives guild armor is only given once in the game.... Thats somewhat true and wrong. U see, in the theives guild there are beds circling the sanctum. Near one of the beds you will find on the ground and near the night stand theives guild hood, theives guild boots, and thieves guild hand ware BUT NOT ARMOR so make sure NOT TO SELL THEIVES GUILD CHEST ARMOR!!!!!

This is my first well hint hope to see more of you guys

Murdering

When killing a civilian, whether it be for fun or for defense, make sure you don't kill a quest character. Killing quest characters make's it impossible to finish a quest, and many unfinished quests can bug up your game.

Glitching

Many people have had problems with this game glitching, including me. I found out a way to stop it, although it can be costly at times. Switch off the Autosave option in the menu, and delete all unnecessary saves. This keeps the memory from getting clogged down with useless saves and such. Make sure you SAVE OFTEN if you do this though. Because the Autosave is off, it will not save whenever you walk through a door or something.

Secret Weapon :)

Yep that's right,I have a secret weapon for you.

But of course this is for those who do not wish to cheat to get this weapon and for those who haven't discovered it prior to me leaving this.

This weapon can only be found, as far as I know, while you are doin the Brotherhood of darkness quest to Kill the Emperor of Tamriel. Once you get onto his ship (The Katariah) you want to navigate your self up to the main deck of the ship; eliminate any and all enemies that stand in your way and look for Mast that leads out over the front of the Ship. Walk yourself slowly out towards it's tip and you'll see a knife sticking out of the Ship's point, put your cursor on it and it'll say. "Take : Windsheer" Do so and, Boom, a Secret weapon. The weapon has a base damege of I believe 25 and has a chance when bashing with it to knock the enemy down. Aka stunning them.

And remember do this, for it is as the say in Skyrim. "For The King!" Oh!
And!
"I was once and adventurer like you. Til' I took and arrow to the knee."

Easy Words of Power

After making it to High Hrothgar and completing the quest Grey Beards give you, you will be able to talk to them and get the option of finding a Word of Power from them. By choosing this option they will locate a Word for you, giving you a quest for it. Meaning you get the location. All you have to do is find it and learn it then return and ask for another.

Easy Gold

In Skyrim money means everything and getting it can be rather challenging early on. Sure you could go out and risk your life adventuring but it is smarter to just take on smithing and enchanting. Most of the time the materials needed to make an item cost less then what you make meaning easy money buy just making a bunch of iron armors. Then to increase you revenue you just bring your armor to an altar of enchanting and give it an enchantment which increases it's worth. Just use this little strategy early on to build up a large profit and level up two skills a substantial amount.
