Gonna spend this entire weekend on my Blacksmithing :/

If you have the money you can have your blacksmithing up to 90 in hours (just make a bunch of iron daggers). It will take more time to get the necessary skill points to get to the Daedric Armour skill.
 
I've spent all of my gold 3 times on smithing, but still not max yet...

14 points to go then I'm at 100. Hopefully I can get the rest of the points tonight.

Yip quite correct, Its a bit of a flaw in the game I reckon, they should have made it a lot harder to get you're smithing skill up to 100. Just me though, Loving my Deadric armor and weapons, All crafted the max all enchanted :D. I am pimped out bitches :D

I like the Ebony armour as it gives me for my purposes enough protection and it looks EPIC.

I got my Ebony armour as a quest reward from Boethia and it also allows you to move silently and adds 5 points of poison damage to foes who come to close to me.

When you crouch you get totally covered by a black mist, but scared the crap out of because it makes this loud sound effect when it does and I thought a Dragon just flew over my head.But it looks great.


I also got a new skin for the Nightingale armour that is purely sublime. Really the best skin I've seen.

I wear the nightingale armor & boots with the ancient shrouded gloves and ancient shrouded hood. Doesn't look quiet as epic as the full nightingale set but i love it.

i have a question regarding the skill levels. If i do not spend any points in a tree, is there any difference between a skill 10 versus skill 100?

for example, SNEAK skill of 10 versus SNEAK skill of 100, but without any points spent on any SKILL perks? Will there be any difference at all to my chances of being spotted? same question for one-handed skill type.

the way i see it, the only reason of point to levelling up is to hit a particular perk point. so for instance, if you only plan to spend perk points in archery which require 70 archery skill, then there is no point in levelling beyond 70 as it wont make any difference to you damage/accurary

agree/disagree ?

This is how Smithing works:

So I speculate that sneak and the others work in a similar fashion.

No, your skill level still determines how much damage you would do. Eg: 10 points in one-handed would do say 11 dmg whereas 100 points would do 20 dmg with the same weapon. I would assume it affects other skills as well

Edit: Without using perks^

From UESP Wiki

From watching the Bethesda demo video, it is obvious that skill increases do increase weapon damage -- you can see the damage values shown for weapons in the character's inventory increase each time the character's one-handed skill increases. Furthermore, the leaked game manual explicitly stated that weapon damage is affected by weapon skills as well as perks, and that armor rating is affected by armor skills and perks. The leaked manual also mentions that Speech skill affects persuasion and merchant prices; that Sneak skill affects sneaking; that Pickpocket skill affects pickpocketing; etc. Given this evidence, and the fact that skill levels have directly affected gameplay statistics in past Elder Scrolls games, I'm pretty skeptical about statements to the contrary that are presented without any supporting evidence.

thanks dude. i cannot seem to load the uesp site at work, for some odd reason :-(

could you please check if there is a table like this for one-handed and sneaking? i am still not certain that a higher level does anything for the ability, and i reckon its purely to control perk point spending

There are no tables for them. But like judgefred said it adds to the damage done. My Sneak skill is 100 and I have only put points towards the extra sneak attack damage perks & I am damn near impossible to see, I sneak in broad daylight.

perfect, that answers my question :-) so i don't need to waste perk points on sneak+, i can just continue to level up as im doing currently.

But I am wearing armor that boosts sneak and boots that muffle movement. The Sneak tree has a few awesome perks. Shadow Warrior for one and the stealth roll.

My advice is try and plan you char. Like I am not planning on wasting perk points on magic since I hardly use it, id rather spend points in trees I actually use but also only for perks I want. Like enchanting has that Extra Effect. Im working towards that next. Two Legendary Ebony swords each with 2 powerful enchantments on for those pesky melee encounters or 2 enchantments for my Legendary(+) Deadric bow. Similarly my smithing is 100 but I dont have advance armor, glass or dragon perks yet simply coz heavy armor is a total waste for me.

Just wondering but are transmute spells rare or not because i found a spell-tome for one that allows you to turn iron into silver.

Yeah I only used some perks points in my restoration tree.

And it turns silver into gold.. It's the only spell.. The only one that does something like that.....
On a side note...

I found a telekinesis spell last night..:) Thought they didn't exist in this one but they do...:D Hehe.. Does anyone know if there's a stronger spell than "reanimate" to raise undead because I can't raise anything stronger than a restless drougr..:/

And this mask


Is the masque clavicus vile :)
