This guide will help you to quickly power-level the attribute sub-skills like "one handed", "block", "alchemy", etc. mostly in the mid to late game but with some techniques being possible in the early game. Damage Skills Combat Skills are pretty easy to level quickly. The EXP is based on the amount of damage you do. So putting together a build that does a huge amount of damage is the best way to level a weapon type. For all the melee weapons you could pretty easily just use an upgraded set of Lancelot's Armour, which gives a huge boost to physical damage, and that will likely level you up more than fast enough. I used some additional or slightly different set ups to that though which are maybe more interesting and might be more effective. One Handed - I paired the Tidepiercer and Sunfire Shortsword, which both fire a beam when heavy attacking. You can hit enemies with both the heavy attack itself and the beams fired for increased damage. You could also try using the Shard of Fallen Sky sword, which has about double the base damage of every other one-handed sword. Or, if you're a stealthy player (which I am not) you could try doubling up the wolf's fang daggers and getting stealth attacks. Two Handed - I went with the Spectral Sword for this one. (Beware of potential spoilers if you look up how to get it. It's part of the main quest so you'll get it in Act 2.) It gives you 1% increased damage per point of mana you're missing. Slap a lot of points into Spirituality, put on a piece of the Druid's Bane armour to prevent mana regeneration and equip the Tainted Priestess set everywhere else. Once you run down your magic by firing off some spells, you should come out with something ridiculous like 400-700% damage on the Spectral Sword. You could also use Arondight (Lancelot's sword) along with his armour while at extremely low health. You could use the cheese spell (Rumpolt's Revenge) to get you down to low health. Then you just have to hope you kill everything on the first hit (which you probably will). Be sure not to get hit and save often! Bows - No fancy tricks here really. I just put on Lancelot's armour and used Robbie's bow. It's the highest damage bow I could find, so it was as simple as that. If you're confident in your aim then you could try the Deadeye Bow, but the hassle of only dealing damage on critical and weakspot hits was too much for me to bother with. Unarmed - This one is 90% about skill points. The only relevant equipment is the Heavy Gauntlets, which boost your unarmed damage by their armour value. So grab those and upgrade them a few times. After that, the only way to really increase your damage is the Armour skill tree. Get three levels into the perk that gives 20/40/60% of your armour value as damage. (A must have for any non-magic build honestly, and I take it on my magic builds too just because it makes mining only take one hit rather than 3!) Stick on your best armour and go punch some bears! Magic - Again, nothing too fancy here. Just get your damage as high as possible and start blasting. To do that, use one of the druid sets or the Royal set (from the same place as the Spectral Sword, so spoiler warning again). You can invest in the magic perks for 50% more spell power, the wand tree for another 45% when holding a wand, and Scorching Blaze is the highest damage spell, so use that. At the very end of Act 2, you get access to the Wyrd Tower. In there is a staff that increase spell power by 1.5x and an amulet that gives you two times your level as spell power. The staff needs 40 kills while self-damaging to unlock it's true effects though. You could also try to boost magic by another 48% using the Usurper's Crown and 6 summons, with the perk that gives +8% magic power per summon... but summons get in the way and are probably not worth the hassle. They may also kill enemies before you can blast them, which robs you of that precious exp! Defence Skills Defence skills are generally a bit harder to level. The three armour skills are pretty easy, blocking is a little slower and evasion seems glacial... Armour - It's real simple when it comes to armour. The more damage you take, the more exp you get. Ironically, this means that the better the armour you have on, the worse your exp gain will be. So the solution is pretty straight forward: grab yourself a good magic build (feel free to use the previous section as a guide on that) equip your best healing spell, put together some potions (feel free to check the alchemy section for that), food (you should have plenty but you can also check the cooking section) and stand in front of some bandits healing, chugging health/mana potions and cramming delicacies into your face. You don't have to be naked and struggling to stay alive. Equip as much armour as you're comfortable dealing with the incoming damage with. Light, medium and heavy armour are all levelled the same way, just keep your endurance stat low if you're struggling to get into heavy armour territory. Block - New method suggested by Dakunval - In the Wyrd Tower, which you can enter after getting Arthur's shield at the end of the second area Cuanacht, you can find a small animal called "Kingie" behind an illusory wall hidden in a fireplace. If you anger him and successfully block or parry his attack you'll shoot all the way to level 100, since he's programmed to do insta-kill damage. Don't mess up... because he does insta-kill levels of damage, haha. Old/Alternative method - This one takes a little while so I'll recommend a build you can use while continuing to quest. First, there're two key components: the Parrying Dagger and the Parrying Gauntlets. I'd also recommend respecing into the first skill on the parrying skill tree and the skill that lets you deflect projectiles. At this point you can equip the two items and just spam the parry button. The extended parry window will be long enough that the parrying status lasts until the animation finishes and you can parry again, granting you essentially invulnerability to everything in front of you. There're one or two specific attacks that seem to ignore parrying. (Those attacks are drowner spit, nuckelavee poison and attacks that knock you down, like bear stomps and croakmaw slaps, which you can technically parry but still knock you down and leave you open to damage while knocked down.) So find a group of enemies and stand there mashing the parry button for an hour or two. The way to make this a build that kills things is to grab yourself the Duel Shield, wear your best armour and also spec into the armour tree. That way you'll do 75% of your armour value on every parry. You'll actually want to avoid most of the parrying skill tree for this, since you don't want to stun or slow down the enemies, which would make them attack less often. You want them attacking as often as possible so you can parry them and deal damage. Evasion - I wish I had some tips for you here. I've had some level ups while dodging while not in combat, which suggests it's a flat exp gain per dodge. So dodge as you're running around travelling from place to place. It's slightly faster than running so long as you don't have 2 stacks of Dash Penalty. One stack actually doesn't seem to decrease your dodge range. I've not tested evasion thoroughly though. So perhaps try dodging through enemy attacks using the invulnerability window. If anything will boost the speed of exp gain, I'd guess it would be dodging through high damage attacks. Crafting Skills Crafting Skills are relatively easy to level. I maxed out Alchemy and Handcrafting without really having to go out of my way. Cooking requires a lot of ingredients but there's one method that can power level it, even if it is a bit slow. All of the crafting skills seem to give exp based on the value of the items you craft. This is cumulative value for recipes that yield multiple items, like arrows which are crafted in stacks of 10. I would recommend putting a skill point in the Practicality skill tree that gives you a 50% chance to recover one of the resources used in a recipe. It seems small but for some recipes it can have huge returns. Plus, every little bit of improved efficiency helps and it's not much of an investment. Alchemy - To power level this one (and get yourself the best recipes in the game), follow the Royal Alchemists' questline. You can start this in the top left of the Horns of the South map, in a cave near the Shrine of Bear. Follow this questline through, into Cuanacht, up until you meet a female Alchemist named Alma. After you meet her, you can return to your first contact, near the Dual Harpists grave and he'll give you his research asking you to give it to Alma. Be sure to read it before handing it over to her because it will give you 3 very powerful recipes that yield 5 strong health potions, 5 strong mana potions or 3 aromatic remedies, all for only 3 ingredients (1 alcohol, 1 wyrdstone ore, 1 flower that varies by recipe). It's exceptionally efficient and has a huge yield. You should be flooded with ingredients at this point. If not, just wander around any of the maps and grab the plants when you see them. Or visit the anti-druid science alchemist in Cuanacht, since he sells at least 2 of the 3 flowers needed in the recipe. The only ingredient you should be lacking is Wyrdstone. You can gather this in only a handful of places: 1) The Archspire, right in the center of the Horns of the South map. 2) There're two deposits in the druid cave under the Blood Lake, in the circular room with the big tree. 3) There's a huge amount in a cave/mine in the Forlorn Swords area near the Theud village (down and left, I think), but it's quite late-game. (I'm pretty sure I found somewhere in Cuanacht with some deposits too, but I've never been able to find it again. If anyone comes across it, please drop it in the comments.) Ore respawns every 2 days. So either cheese it by waiting for 2 days or drop in every now and then to gather a stockpile of Wyrdstone. With all that complete, just craft yourself a near infinite amount of potions and you'll easily make enough exp to hit level 100 multiple times over. Handcrafting - There are a few good recipes for this one. The best seems to be Wyrdbone arrows, but wyrdbones are limited due to only so many Wyrddeer spawns and Stagfather Shrines. Second best is probably the Rough-Hewn Relic. The recipe for which you can get by talking to the blacksmith in the Dal Riata camp in the north east of Horns of the South, at the All-Mother's Temple. It needs one Wyrdstone (so see above alchemy section for locations) and some ethereal cobweb, so it's pretty easy and cheap to make. Aside from that, there's titanium arrows. Titanium can be a bit hard to find though. There's a spawn off the East side of the Ancient Cromlech that you have to drop down to and one up near the Shrine of Bear, across a rock bridge above where the redcaps spawn. Machete's are a very good early game option since they only cost 4 iron and sell for 100 gold each. Leather, while cheap, is easy to craft and needs only 1 hide per craft. So with the 50% chance to return one of your crafting ingredients perk you'll get a free craft 50% of the time. Finally, the gloves are the cheapest armour part to create and tend not to have less (or much less) value than other parts. The Burrower's Talons is pretty easy to farm for since there's 3 Buggane North East of the lake in Cuanacht, next to the Cuanacht Waterworks. Haymaker talons is also extremely easy to make. Just wear the Flaming Cloak as you go through the wheat fields and the small hay children will die as you approach. Cooking - Cooking is a bother. It's slow, requires lots of ingredients and sells for almost nothing. When I originally wrote this guide there's only one way to speed this up and it required helping an undead chef discover the worst taste combination imaginable. However, I have since found a better method. The old method is still below because it's funny. New Method Use a spell with AOE damage to kill crabs on the beach (a charged Burning Ember works), collect many crabs. Any other meat also works, but are harder to get. Go into experimental cooking mode. Put two crabs into the slots. Cook. You will create "delicious meal" worth 55 gold. This is very cheap in terms of ingredients, you have a good chance of getting one of the crabs back thanks to the crafting perk, and it gives the most money and therefore experience while cooking. The downsides are that you have to manually cook every meal individually and you no longer get to enjoy exploding enemies into cheese with the old method. Old Method So first, get Rumpolt's Revenge (in the aforementioned quest, which you can start by talking to Fearghas in the Horns of the South settlement. Second, turn a LOT of bandits into piles of cheese. (Or sacrifice your own health to make cheese and heal it with a healing spell.) Third, combine three cheeses in the freestyle cooking menu to produce the.... CHEESE BALL OF DOOM! Fourth, mass produce cheese balls of doom until the world drowns in cheese! Mwahahahahaha! (and you get level 100 cooking.) Traversal Skills This is basically the section for everything else. Yes, I'm counting "Theft" as a traversal skill since it allows you to lockpick doors sometimes... And I didn't want to put it in it's own section. These skills don't really have shortcuts as far as I can tell, but I'll include them for completeness. Athletics - Run. Presumably swimming also grants exp. There's no fast method to this but it levels at a reasonable pace. Do all the content the game has to offer and you should hit level 90-100 by the end. Never ride a horse! Agility - There's actually a trick to this one! So, it gives exp per jump, and some exp on taking fall damage. The fall damage exp either doesn't scale or is capped fairly low. I've not fully tested, but I don't think you can simply jump off the high bridges in Horns of the South with a death defying skill (like the one in the stealth skill tree) to level it quickly. You can however jump from the water into an overhanging rock, which blocks the jump but still counts as jumping for the sake of exp, therefore allowing you to rapidly mash the jump button and rack up exp. Shoutout to Youtuber @JohnnysCodex for this tip. Here's a video showing how to do it.

潜行——我本以为造成大量潜行额外伤害能快速提升这个技能等级，但事实并非如此。至少，当时我使用魔法时不行。所以恐怕你需要用《上古卷轴4：湮没》里的橡皮筋老办法来提升它。 找一个人多的地方。我能想到的最佳地点是库纳赫特医院，因为有个房间里大概有5个人，而且他们晚上不回家。然后躲起来，朝着墙跑。用橡皮筋把控制器的模拟摇杆固定向前，自己去泡杯茶，再看几部电影。升级速度非常慢，但确实有效。如果你用的是鼠标键盘，可以找个东西压住W键来达到同样的效果。 也许还有更好的方法。例如，敌人可能会提供更多潜行经验值，而潜行攻击虽然不随伤害值提升，但仍能提供大量经验值，或者会随你的潜行额外伤害属性提升。我还没有对其他方法做太多实验，但如果发现了，我会更新本指南。 用户Mr.Teatime在评论中建议快速左右移动，他认为每次改变方向都会被视为另一次潜行行为，从而快速获得经验值。 偷窃——用户Zealotical在评论中提供的解决方法： “我制作了大约800个开锁器，设置了一个按住E键的宏，然后找到了一个会在中途损坏的难开锁（有些锁会幸运地卡在中间位置），我发现开锁时每个开锁器损坏都能获得最多经验值。”当然，打开箱子会获得经验，但上锁的箱子和门数量有限。我开了800个左右，偷窃技能升到了80级左右。使用实用性加点，加上制作开锁器时有几率返还材料，制作几千个开锁器就能升到100级。 总结 希望本指南对你有帮助！可能还有其他比我发现的更好的方法。如果你知道，尤其是关于如何有效提升偷窃等级的方法，请在评论中分享。 在此之前，去吧，我的跟班们。让世界充满奶酪吧！
