Skyrim tips

[AniJan]

I'm currently level 34, but very weak. So I would like tips from other experienced players to help me become more stronger.

 

My current stats are(may be a bit off since I'm in a different location)

Stamina: 210

Magicka: 240

Health: 240

 

Smithing: Around the high 40s

Only steel smithing

Sneak: Around the high 60s

I can do double damage for bows and 15x damage on daggers. I have 1/5 on detection rate

One-handed: 80

4/5 damage increase

1/2 faster dual wielding speed

Conjuration: 

80( I rushed it through constant soul trap on a dead body lol)

Half the magicka for novice spells

Heavy armor: Around the night 40s

3/5 armor increase

Light armor: Around the 50s

4/5 armor increase

25% armor rating for full set of light

Block: 40

No perks

Destruction:

Around the 40s

Half the Magicka for spells

1/2 inferno damage increase

Restoration: 

Around the mid 30s

No perks

 

 

So, my style of playing is more of a warrior/stealth/mage-ish character.

I prefer light armor since it weighs less and detection rate is lower, but it doesnt protect me much from battle (currently have nightingale armor). So I'm aiming towards heavy armor now. But I'm afraid that I will lose the muffled movement perk, so I'm using full ebony set with ebony mail. I sneak depending on certain situations. If there's some enemy unknown of my presence, I sneak and kill. I use a lot of firebolt against enemies, and flame atronach. For conjuration, my goal is to get the frost atronach spell, meaning that I should upgrade my Conjuration tree.

 

I'm pretty weak against enemies, as I can easily get killed by centurions, death lords, and upper level bandits. I want to upgrade heavy armor, health, and one handed skills, but I also want to upgrade other thinga like smithing, Conjuration, etc.

what should I do?

 

 

I'll add more information if necessary, but for now, this is all I got. It's a bit messy , so I'm sorry.

 

Thanks.

You could try getting a follower so you can send them into battle first, or use some spells that will lower enemies' whatever (for example lightning energy on mages so their magicka depletes, or ice on warriors.. etc.)

I agree with the follower suggestion.

 

They can be your tank while you do damage at a distance.  other then that you could try farming mobs for skills.

The thing is, I want to level up my own skills.

 

Plus, I play on the console.

The thing with Skyrim always was: you either have to play sneaky and stealthy, and max out those skills,

OR you have to play with hand to hand combat and put more into armor etc.

 

If you play stealthy, you don't need to be strong. You can kill people off with bows etc. from a distance.

 

I never liked to play stealth in those games, so I always used to play with one handed swords and magic in the other hand, with light or medium armor.

 

It really depends on your playstyle how you should level up.

you can still level up your own skills if you are fighting along an NPC.  

Also there are a lot of NPC followers in the vanilla console versions of the game.  Lydia is probably the first you get and she's pretty sturdy.

In my experience putting points and perks into armor is useless without putting points and perks into Smithing and viceversa. The advantage of improving armor is as important in getting to 567 rating.

 

And consequently, smithing also helps your weapon skills in a very significant way too. You can help with destruction and enchanting (Destruction increases the damage done by weapon enchantments as well) but that also means having to deal with recharging and more importantly missing out on one of the best shouts in the game: Elemental fury. Being able to attack far more often helps DPS a lot but it can only be done in non-enchanted weapons. Think of that option as the compensation for no magic characters but in your case I'd go for weapon enchantment damage instead.

 

Finally there's the issue of random luck: Sometimes it takes a while to find decent enchantments around so I usually spend most of the time in skyrim going between smiths and such (I almost never do the civil war because in addition of disliking both sides it also removes half the on-the-field smiths) and general stores to try and find enchantments I can use. Usually I pay for this with Alchemy but you can also take care of it with soul trapping and enchanting items to sell (even low level enchantments of things like Banishment or Fear command great prices for your effort)

He has 80 conjuration he can just cast a Frost Atronach to tank though.

It might be good to ask a mod to move this to the console gaming section.  Might have better luck asking there.
