• There are a couple places where you can raise your skills by watching two combatants fight.
• Some quest rewards and easter eggs also provide skill boosts.

Is there a page where all this quests and places listed? --Den 03:29, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

There is now. Probably incomplete, though. --TheRealLurlock 11:25, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

Just as an interesting note: I managed a permanent Blade of 103 by not doing the Origin of the Gray Prince quest until I was already a Master of Blade. Not that it helps at all, but it's a fun conversation piece. Korvac 16:52, 5 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Multiple Skill-point Losses

It seems that when you have a really high bounty (like from killing an innocent), the loss of skill points for staying in jail is more than just one. I lost 10 (no, that's not a typo) skill points for killing someone and then staying in jail. I can't be 100% sure that a high bounty was the cause of the multiple skill-point losses, though. Can anybody else confirm for certain that that's what causes it? --Robin Hood 20:06, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

It's the high bounty. Skill points affected = Bounty / 100 (with a max of 10) as far as I can tell. It IS one point per day spent as the article states, but the length of your sentence is increased by your bounty. --Deathbane27 20:33, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Is it possible to gain extra levels by intentionally having a skill nerfed in this manner? Say one of my main skills is decresed by 10. Couldn't i go out and practice it to level up? I'll test it once i get my character up to his max level, but 'til then, can anyone else provide some insight? -Scxe

I've never done that, but given that your skill is 'permanently' lowered (as opposed to being lowered by a drain/damage effect that can be removed), I would imagine that this would work. --Gaebrial 03:50, 22 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Removing Enchantments

Okay I know this may not be the right place but I just found Fin-Gleam and I already enchanted my Raistlin Majere character's Red Silk Robes and Red Silk Hood and I want to remove the enchantments. Is that even possible? 70.49.204.73 00:01, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Sorry, no. You could always give yourself another copy of the unenchanted item by using the console if you're on the PC. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:14, 10 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Vampire skills

After I became a vampire on my Kahjiit character, I noticed that I was now a master in sneak. I don't think that I was before. I'm pretty sure I was an expert. Now it reads that I am a master in sneak. Does this mean that while a vampire my sneak won't skill up anymore and that skills gained by vampirism are considered base skills and not magical effects, or was I actually a master before vampirism? I'm a bit confused on this. I plan on curing my vampirism eventually, but I don't want the sneaking in the dark brotherhood quests to go to waste and since I'm on 360 I can't ever become a vampire again. I'm not really sure what to do. --Mole126^Talk 19:55, 04 March 2008 (EST)

If you are still trying to figure this out, you should check the article on Free Skill Boosts. Yes, the vampirism skill boosts effectively change your base statistics. Without curing your vampirism you can feed, which will reduce the skill boosts to +5. Otherwise, you need to wait until you cure your vampirism. --Nephele^Talk 01:31, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
