I decided to make a new char after getting my redguard/warrior to level 20. I decided on a Khajit (Cat person)/theif/archer. I noticed a few glitches in the arena and I also noticed how certain things level up alot quicker, so I decided to write a guide to help people who wanted to make a high level char that wouldn't take much effort.

First you need to know how the level system works. You have 7 major skills and each time those skills improve enough (collectively), you level up. So putting things that go up quickly as major skills will make you level up alot faster. (This will only make your char higher leveled, but not more powerful than a char that was leveled normally. If you played pokemon red or blue for the GBA this is the equivelant of rare candy glitching. Your pokemon will level faster but a legit level 99 will kick your ass.)

Alchemy - Alchemy is one of the easiest skills to level up. All you need to do is put it as a major skill, of course and start picking up ingredients right from the start. You could eat these ingredients but its better if you get a Mortar and Pestel which allow you to make potions. Go to a farm (theres one right outside chorrol) and pick everything. Then use all the ingridients to form potions. Who cares if your going to use the potion it just will increase your alchemy by about 3-8 points a farm. If you have Alchemy as a major skill, it's almost 1 level per farm.(This is reccomended for mages.)

Acrobatics - This is a simple one. Once its a major skill it will easily contribute to every level you get. Jump everywhere you go and this skill will level up very quickly.

Athletics - This is the same as acrobatics. Running or swimming (swimming increases it faster) will increase this skill. It will level you up very quickly and it can be useful to all the classes.

Weapons/Magic - If your a warrior pick one type of weapon you will use (Blade or Blunt.) Theres no point in having 2 major weapon types. If your a mage you can use multiple types of magic unless theres a certain one you plan on using. Theifs/Rangers make sure you use marksmanship as one of your major skills. All of these weapons are what you will use as a main source of damage during the game (depending on what you are.) These will level up as you kill enemies so its pretty vital to have one of these as one of your major skills even if your not oblivion power leveling.

Heavy Armor/Light armor - You should choose one. These will increase everytime you take damage. You can, but I WOULD NOT put the difficulty on very easy and just let an enemy hit you over and over and heal every once and a while. I like to play the game legit and I consider that cheating so I would not do it, however im sure it will work. Even without putting the difficulty on easy, your going to get hit constantly, so why not gain something from being hurt?

Difficulty changing - if your stuck on a hard part or your a noob and just want people to think your cool because of your high level, you can change the difficulty. I personally haven't tried this, but I heard it made the game retardedly easy and there was no point in playing it. If you insist on doing it you will level up easily and there will be no challange or fun.
