Good Start
[Submitted by: Cheat Masters ]
Okay here's a way for a good start in the game. Be any race create your own class with your ability and speed favorite attributes. Be stealth and your major skills blade, acrobactics, conjuration, destruction, security, sneak and armorer. When you have to protect the emperor you find Renault dead. Take her weapons and all of her stuff then go through the cracked hole and get as many lockpicks as possible. When you meet the emperor again the guards will say you work for the assassins. The emperor will say no your not one of them. Now protect them and once you get to the part when you watch the emperor die kill the assassin and go through the space in the wall and drop Renault's Akaviri Katana talk to Baurus and have a stealth person that's favorite attributes are agility and speed and major skills are blade, security, sneak, conjuration, destruction, acrobactics, and armorer. Then go back after you get the key to enter the sewers and get the Katana and you have a good start from there on with Renault's Akaviri Katana.

GOOD MONEY OR ENCHANTED ARMOUR AND DECENT WEAPON
[Submitted by: Th3GodFath3r ]
Its handy to have a high sneak for this and you will have to sell stolen goods (unless you want to keep the armour and weapon it is pritty good for a beginer) so you will pritty much have to be in the thieves guild.go to the chehyndal fighters guild at night time.you will have to pick a very hard lock to get in.once in the fighters guild sneak up to the top floor and look for a room with 2 people sleeping in it. one of them should be an orc who cannot be killed. pickpoket the orc and he should have a glass mace and enchanted fur armour, the mace isnt worth alot but the armour is worth a fair bit.
+when the orc wakes up he will have his stuff back so next night you can just steal from him again =)

Easy Blade/Blunt/Hand to Hand/Marksman Skill Up
[Submitted by: Cheatkid ]
If you need serious training in blade, blunt, hand to hand, or marksman then go to pyrites shrine. It is south of the wayshrine of Kynereth across the southern river. There you will see 5 people petrified from using a spell on pyrite to summon him. So their souls are at oblivion and their bodies at Tamriel. So you can try to kill them and you won't because they're important characters because of their souls in oblivion. So hack away at them. (for marksman you won't be able to get your arrows back so it's best to duplicate them and shoot them till your a master. I did this for all of these skills and it made my job much easier to kill enemies. Have fun and if you do the quest, you get a shield called spell breaker and if you read "Tamrielic Lore" or something you find artifacts of Tamriel and spell breaker is one of them.

Increase your blade skill faster and be a grand champion in the arena
[Submitted by: Cheat Masters ]
After you get the amulet of kings from the emperor, go fast travel to the arena and fight until you get to level 3.(good for earning a lot of gold) now go to your second quest to recieve a steel claymore from Jauffrey and other items. After that, equip your steel claymore and there are three horses in a shed. go kill them but keep one left so you can ride through the map quicker. your blade skill will increase a lot. also to be a grand champion in the arena press start and go to options then gameplay and there's a difficulty setting and if you move it all the way to the left enemies will be easier to kill. guards will be a heck a lot easier to kill and you can take all of their stuff after you kill all the guards. after you do that then go to the arena and just kill enemies in 1-3 hits depending on which weapon your using. I recommend using a steel claymore. after your a grand champion you would probably get to about 3000-4000 gold in the arena.

Easy level ups
[Submitted by: Cheat Masters ]
To level up sneak really easily, go to anvil inn and get a room. Go to yoyur room and around it there should be other room which can only be used by picking the locks but dont, instead go into sneak mode and keep walking into a door which asks u to pick its lock and u will be gaining exp, an easier way to do this is to find an object that can hold down the analog stick( i used a tv controller against a wall and the ps3 controller analog stick with a book infront of the controller to make sure it doesn't move out of place) The best part is the no one comes and u can keep doing for hoursand their is a bed u can use when u gain another 10 sneak lvls to increase ur total level since u bought a room, remember dont go into sneak mode infront of ur own room, it must be a room where it asks u if u want to pick a lock and make sure the eye is transparent or u wont get an exp...

Magic, go to an inn and buy a bed, choose the magic skill u want tot lvl up (illuson, alterattion etc.) and have a SELF spell that uses very low amount of exp because u get exp for everytime u cast the spell, go infront of the bed and sleep for 1 hour, then dont leave ur room but equip the magic spell of ur choice and keep casting it until u run out of magickathen click on ur bed and sleep for 1 hour which takes around 3-10 seconds and u should be awake with full magicka, keep casting ur spell and sleeping, a great way to lvl up but remember it must be a self spell which means u cast it on urself like starlight or protect.

I joined the dark brotherhood and when i finished all the quests i had 8-9 K(8-9 000 gold pieces)a free horse, many pieces of extremly useful armour(robe that increases speechcraft or mercantile while wearing or Black Robe which is better than shrouded and lesser cameleon outfit which makes u cameleon 10% while equiped armour) and useful items including some very powerful enchanted and unenchanted weapons.

(must be lvl 10 or over)(skelten key, its a lockpick which never breaks which means unlimited lock picks and increases ur security by 40 points, so onces u get it just keep auto attempting by pressing square to open any lock unless a key is absolutely needed)Go to leyawin and leave using the entrance that doesnt have the horses stable outside it, keep following the path upwards until u find Nocturnal's shrine, go and talk to it during the night and she'll tell u these people stole her eye or something, go to leyawin and ask around but u wont get any info but after that find Weebam-Na and Bejeen(they live in a one of the shacks not houses) ask them about the eye and they act starnge, go near their door and go into sneak mode until ur eye is transparent and wait until u hear them talking bout the eye(for me it glitched and they never started to talk but after i waited 5 min and left the house my quest marker auto changed to Tide water cave(doesnt show u the cave itself in the map but just shows u whereit is) go thereand u will find trolls in and outside the cave, i used an invisibilty spell called shadowsnape which makes me invisible so it was a breeze for me but once u get there ignore the creatures, go into the cave and keep going left at every turning u find and u will eventually be taken to a place where u must swin underwater where u can see this big ball which is the eye and a chest which as my memory serves has a good enchanted weapon in it!

Redwort & Dragons Tongue flowers
If you need redwort and dragons tongue there is so much just right outside of Fort Bulwark.

Skeleton Key
To get Skeleton Key which raises your security by 40, you must be level 10 to activate the shrine. The shrine is named Nocturnal Shrine and its located north of Leyawiin oout the northeast gate. Once you get there activate the shrine and the shrine tells you about her eye drowned in water by thieves. She tells you that they hide in Leyawiin and try to get information from the guards or people. Their names are Webam-Naa and Bejeen and they live in shacks. After you heard them talking you may kill them if you wish and head for Tidewater Cave south of Leyawiin or just head to the cave. There are trolls, bears, wolves, etc. inside the cave. When you find the eye there is also a chest which should be the Longsword of Pain cause that's what I got. Leave the cave and head to Nocturnal Shrine and give her the eye. Then she will give you the skeleton key which gives unlimited lockpicks fo rit never breaks and it can't open key needing doors sorry! Have fun breaking into shops!

Wear the Amulet of Kings
Join the mages guild and get all of the recommandations so you can access the Arcane University. Make sure you are between level 16 and 19. Complete the quest about getting a book from the count of skingrad(2nd AU Quest).When you are promoted to evoker rank you will be given the spelldrinker amulet. YOU MUST be level 16,17,18 or 19 so the amulet will look exactly like the amulet of kings when you look at your character with it equiped. The amulet will stay that way even if you go beyond level 19 but make sure your characters level is between 16 and 19 when you are given it. I have no idea why the amulet does that but it looks cool.

Level Up To Master
You can complete this several ways but I choose my house once I bought one. Go to your bed room in your house or rent a room in any inn. Hot key your weakest conjure spell to the D-pad. Conjure up the creature after Picking a weapon sword or axe. Then kill what you have conjured (created) over and over and over. Your skill points for three things will go up at the same time while doing this. If you jump while killing the creature, five skills will raise at the same time. If your a weak player (just begining out) and your conjured creature is hurting you more than you are hurting it you can reconjure him before he kills you and the battle will end, giving you time to rest and heal. Do this until you have leveled up to 100 on five things. This can be used to build Blade skills, conjuration, acrobatics, athletics, light armor and heavy armor all at the same time. Your overall progress to the next level will also build up at the same. You will not have to go find creatures to kill to get leveled up, just create them yourself. This is also easier while using the Duplicate item cheat.

Rare items
[Submitted by: Cheatkid ]
To get these rare items you must go to Bravil and talk to this woman that talks about her husband gambling. Do this later like when your level 10 otherwise you will get fur armor and iron weapons. Talk to her and help her then go to the lost lodge or something and talk to the orc with the weapons he is downstairs or up depending on the time your there. talk to him and he'll tell you to get him the axe of drungul and he lends you a boat. Then go to Fort Grief ( that is where the boat takes you) and notice the gate won't open. There is a handle and the gate will spring open. DO NOT KILL THE GUY STANDING IN THE CENTER! Talk to him and he'll tell you that the axe was a legend so now your trapped in the fort. He'll also tell you about the Hunters' Run and you go through that door and kill all of the hunters. Take their armor and weapons for they will either be mithril or orchish armor and either dwarven or elven weapons. Then take their keys so you can get through the run and when you kill all of them go back to where you came into fort grief and a cutscene will happen where the orc will kill the husband of that woman. You must kill him for he will have a elven warhammer. After that's done take his key go back into the fort and open that iron gate when you enter the fort on the left side. Leave and go back to the wife and tell her that her husband's dead. She will give you a book that is it just a book. I suggest going with some skooma cause it raises you encumberence by 300.

Duplicate Trick
Get 2 magic scrolls or more of the same type. Now go on to your inventory and press on it twice. Then go to the item you want to duplicate and drop it. The more scrolls you have the more it gets duplicated. The item must have full health and charge. Not everything can be duplicated!

Break in a shop without the owner calling the guards
[Submitted by: BusyBee ]
To do this, put the difficulty to easiest and kill the owner before he gets away. Then you can steal the items he has and sell them to people in the Thieves Guild.

Earn gold easier
[Submitted by: BusyBee ]
To do this, you must go to the imperial arena and just keep fighting until you think you have enough.If your enemies are too hard, then press start and go to options. Next go to gameplay. Go to difficulty and set the bar all the way to the left for the easiest difficulty. Your enemies will be easier to kill depending on your level. Plus guards will be more easier to kill if you choose ressist arrest.

Get lockpicks for 150 gold
[Submitted by: Code Guy ]
To do this you must be in the dark brotherhood guild and complete a quest of killing rufio. after that you must go to an abandoned house in a city to the northeast and input the passcode to get acess in the basement, after that go to the living quarters and talk to the lion and barter him. there are 30 lockpicks and 7 repair hammers. they should cost about between the 200-250 gold and after you buy them wait or sleep for 24 hours and he will be restocked.

Nocternal's Cown
Complete all quests in the Thieves Guild and the Gray Fox will give you the promotion of Guild Master, and the Nocternal's Cown. Nocternal's Cown will let you see living things as energy even through walls. *** When you equip Nocternal's Cown, you are the Gray Fox -- when guards see you they will try to arrest you. Nocternal's Cown also lets you carry more items and increases your Sneaking skill.

Keeping quest items after theft
If you steal a quest item, for example the Ahdarji's Heirloom (a ring of a countess), and get caught, you will lose all the stolen items except for the quest item because quest items cannot be taken out of your inventory except to further the quest.

Easy Alteration skill
To quickly increase your Alteration skill, make sure you have these spells: Open Average Lock, Open Easy Lock, and Open Very Easy Lock. Now, find a chest that you would normaly need a key or have to lockpick. Use the opposite spell of the chest. For example, if the chest requires the easy spell, use the very easy spell on it. Make sure you have some Magicka potions or you can just wait an hour every time you exhaust your Magicka supply. In a short period of time you will have leveled your Alteration skill dramaticaly.

Enemy and item levels
All enemies outside the cities and some inside will level as you level. For example, if you are at level 10 and are fighting Boars outside the city, when you reach level 15 you will be fighting a Troll. The same goes for missions such as the Forlorn Watchman. If you do the quest at level 10, you will fight Ghosts on the ship. If you do it at level 20, you will fight Wraiths. Do not waste time trying to level up just to beat one opponent in a quest because they could be set to always be three levels above you. This same style of progression also works with armor and weapons:

Unicorn
You can find the Unicorn northeast of Inn Of III Omen and east of Mingo Cave at a place called Harcane's Grove. It is protected by four Minotaurs. The easiest way to reach this area is to move west/southwest from Fort Variela, which is on the coast of the upper Niben River. By doing this, you will see the Unicorn before the Minotaurs see you. *** If you do encounter the Minotaurs, do not start fighting them close to the Unicorn or the Unicorn will join with them against you, and you will not be able to mount it. Just run up to the Unicorn, mount it, and run away. The Unicorn is both fast and immune to regular weapons. *** The Unicorn cannot be tamed or captured. Once you find it in the Harcane Grove, you can ride it. However, once you ride a distance from the grove and you get off the horse, it will start walking away and return to the Harcane Grove. It does not matter if you approach it without a weapon or kill the minotaurs guarding it.

Armor

Fur/Iron	Level 1
Leather/Steel	Level 13
Chain/Dwarven	Level 16
Mithril/Orchish	Level 110
Elven/Ebony	Level 115
Glass/Daedric	Level 120

Weapons

Iron	Level 11
Steel	Level 12
Silver	Level 14
Dwarven	Level 16
Elven	Level 19
Glass	Level 112
Ebony	Level 116
Daedric	Level 120

*** The armor and weapons usually do not appear at traders until you are two levels above them, maybe longer. Also, any "secret" weapons such as the Umbra and the NPCs with them or wearing the "secret" armor are level locked. They will not get any more difficult because usually their levels are already about 22 to 30.

Easy Alchemy skill
Steal a mortar and pestle. Steal a lot of food items and turn them into potions. It will not take long to reach the Master level.

Vampires
There is a broken down fort that is south of Chorrol. It is the base for some weak vampires. It is called Fort Carmala, and is close to Hackdirt, near to northeast of Weatherleah. To reach it go to Chorrol if you have not done the Hackdirt or Weatherleah quests. Leave from the south gate and go south. If you reach the city of Hackdirt, you are close. Keep your eye out for white rocky ruins. This is where you will find the door.

Easy magic skills
If you want to gain access to Arcane University then complete all the Mage Guild Recommendation Quests. Now, buy the cheapest spell you can find for each of the magic based skills.They are Illusion, Conjuration, Alteration, Mysticism, Restoration, and Destruction. For Destruction, use a Drain Spell. Go to where you make your own spells and select a spell. You need to make it so you only use up 1 Magicka and the spell is on "Self". Name the spell and create it. Do this with all the other types of magic based skills then make them all on "Self", including Destruction. If you used a Drain spell, when you use it on yourself it may llok as if you took damage but you do not, because you drain it from yourself to yourself. Cast the spells all the time or whenever you can. Your skills will increase fast without having to wait between spellcastings. *** This trick will only work if the spells are cast on "Self". Spells do not count towards experience except if they have an effect on something.

Feeding as a vampire
You need a good Sneak skill so you can feed from a sleeping person without waking them.

Infinite gold
Go to the Talos Plaza District of Imperial City and find Dorian's House. It is in the southeast section of the district. Break into his house and find him. He will tell you to leave,so kill him. Do not press X to loot him and take all. Just take each item one by one and finish with the gold, which will not run out once it hits 8 pieces. Just keep selecting the gold he is carrying and take it. Do this repeatedly, and the number of gold pieces left will freeze when it gets down to 8 gold pieces. It will not go any lower than this. It will just keep giving you as much gold as desired. *** After you break in and he tells you to get out, talk to him. Go to "Persuade" and bribe him a lot. After that, kill him. Now he will have more money to loot.

*** You can use this trick to get infinite gold from Dorian. First, bribe him until you cannot do so anymore. Now, hit him with your fists and quickly hold Block and press [Space] to yield to him. He is your friend and will stop fighting. Now, talk to him again. Make sure you do not hit him too many times or he will run away. Once his health gets low, the guards may charge you. After spending your time or paying them, go back to his house. His health will still be low from your attacks. Wait exactly 24 hours and his health will be reset. Repeat this process to get the gold you want. If you select the money from his pocket it will not go away,but leave you with unlimited money.

Go to Imperial City, the Talos Plaza District and find Dorian. He is in his house. Talk to him and select the Speechcraft icon to learn that he likes Boast and Coerce and does not likes Admire and Joke. Do not make him like you but make him hate you. Bribe him until around 60, then make him hate you. Do this as much as you like. *** The more you do this, the quicker it will increase your money. Kill him but don't let him run or he will contact the guards. Search him and take everything but his money. Exit the search screen and re-enter it. Keep pressing [Space] on his money to retake it.

This trick requires an expensive weapon and a horse. Get on your horse and go to Kvatch. After you get there, equip your most expensive weapon and travel until you find a little camp with citizens around on the road to Kvatch. Talk to the female Orc merchant while on your horse. Now sell her your equipped sword. The message "You cannot unequip this item" will appear, but it will give you the money anyway. You can do this over and over for 200 GP each time. Only use your equipped sword; any other items will be sold as usual.

Seek the Mages Guild help in Arcane University after becomeing a vampire. You will be sent to Skingard to talk to the count. The count will tell you who to find in order to get the cure. Finish this quest, and after giving the Counts' wife the potion, he will want to wait a day before he will talk to you again. After that day, when you talk to him he will reward you with 500 gold. However, you can keep talking to him and selecting "Reward" each time. You will be given 500 gold each time you talk to him, even if you leave and come back. You can do this as many times as desired to get an unlimited amount of gold. *** When you do go back make sure you select his room lock and bribe him fully so that the guards do not get called. You must complete this task before the mage's second or third task. After that the Count of Skingard will not talk to you.

A woman will approach you in the Imperial City and asks you to see a man. Go to this house. He will say that he and his group are vampire hunters. Follow the Virtuous Order quest line and you will see the man you are hunting is not a vampire. Do not kill him. Talk to him and he will tell you that the man that sent you is the vampire. Go to the bookstore. The man will tell you about a cave. Go there and kill all the vampires and take their dust. Return to the Imperial City after you kill the main vampire. You will be rewarded with a ring, but he will also tell you that the order will compensate you for every vampire that you kill. All you need for proof is vampire dust. Use the "Duplicate items" trick on the vampire dust to get as many as you want. Keep talking to the man about vampires and he will keep rewarding you as long as you have enough vampire dust. You will get 250 gold for each vampire dust you have.

Use the "Duplicate items" trick inside a store. Only duplicate an item worth a lot of gold. Sell every duplicated item but one. Repeat the process as many times as you like. You can make up to 50,000 gold in a couple of minutes.

This trick requires a Black Bow, a Bow and two different kinds of Bows. You must complete the "Knight Of The White Stallion" quest by talking to the male in the castle of Leyawijn. After this you can sell your Black Bow to the male in the castle of Leyawijn. He is one of the court. Each bow will give you 100 gold. Save your game. If you hit the male by accident the guards will attack you. Stand next to the male and speak with him. Use the "Duplicate items" trick to duplicate your bow next to the male as he is sitting in his throne. Pick up all the duplicated bows. When he tells you that you are over numbered you can keep picking up more bows. After picking up all the bows, throw one on the ground. This will make sure you do not sell all of your bows. Speak with the male and sell your bows. When you choose one time for yes, you can continue by pressing [Space]. You can sell 125 bows for 12,500 gold in around five minutes.

Infinite health
Use the "Duplicate items" trick on a potion of strong health. Repeat the trick to get the desired amount of potions. Open the inventory screen and go to the strong potion of health and assign a hotkey to that potion. When you get low on health, just press the hotkey to use a potion. If you run low on health potions just repeat the duplication process.

Easy Sneak skill
First find someone who is sleeping. Now find a wall that they are near and run against the wall while sneaking. If no one can see you, your skill will increase until the person wakes. But if this happens, wait until night and let them go back to sleep.

When you have the option to join the Thieves Guild by meeting Armand Christope at the Imperial Water Front garden around 11 p.m., accept his task. He will offer you lockpicks, but do not buy any. Go into Sneak mode and get behind him. You will get the lockpicks from him and can also repeatedly pickpocket him to build up your Sneak skill.

After the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim ,during the opening mission, leave the Emperor's body with Baurus. Walk down the secret passage and turn around. You should still be able to see Emperor Septim's body and part of Baurus. Walk to the nearest corner to your left and go into Sneak mode. Walk forward to increase your Sneak level.

Join the Dark Brotherhood. After you recieve your first quest to kill Rufio, enter his room and go into Sneak mode. Rufio sleeps 20 hours a day. Walk around in his room to gain Sneak levels.

Complete the Fighting Arena in the Imperial City and become Grand Champion. After you collect all your money from the Bloodworks person,go outside. A kid will run up to you and tell you he is your biggest fan and ask if he can follow you around. Select "Yes you may follow me around" . Go to any place away from guards and people. Go into Sneak mode and select "Pickpocket" on the kid. You will be brought into his inventory. Exit out of his inventory and do not steal anything. Repeat this by selecting pick pocket and exiting. You will gain much Sneak experience. He doesn't mind if you pickpocket him because he is your "biggest fan".

Go into Sneak mode when you are in jail. Move around for awhile and it will increase your sneak level.

Easy Ebony and Umbra Sword
Go to the Arena and get some claymores. Now, go south of the Imperial Waterfront to a place called the Old Bridge. Move west and follow the road. You will reach a ruin that starts with a "V". Go inside and get past the minor creatures. You will find a girl named Umbra. Use the bench next to it to jump on top of the broken pillar and stand at the edge. Use a ranged attack to have her start attacking you. Now, take out a claymore and start hitting her. She has a lot of health and does a lot of damage. Don't fall off the pillar. If you do it right you will have full Ebony and a great sword.

Easy Armor skill
There is a female named Arvena Thelas in the town of Anvil who has four rats in her basement. If your level is high enough that rats do not cause you much damage, you can break into her house, annoy the rats by punching them or casting drain fatigue spells if your punch is too strong, then letting all four rats attack you while occasionally casting a heal spell. You can also use this to raise your Block skill, and is much easier than causing summoned monsters to attack you.

Easy Athletics skill
Get an enchanted amulet, ring, or other item you can enchant with Water Breathing. Make sure it is a constant effect. Now Equip this item with Water Breathing and jump in some water. Swim to the bottom, then hold [Up] to keep swimming into the floor. In just five minutes your Athletics skill will increase very much.

Getting desired Sigil Stones
While you are in Sigillum Sanguis, save the game while standing in front of the Sigil Stone, before grabbing it. If you do not get the desired effects from the stone, load from the point before you grabbed it and try again. The Sigil Stone you get is chosen at random upon removing it.

Good weapon
Take a Human Soul and fill a Black Soul Gem. Take a weapon that is not already enchanted and give it fire, frost, or shock damage. Now, give a weakness to whatever damage you just gave it. When you swing it the first time, it will do the fire, frost, or shock damage, then give a weakness to it. The second swing will even do greater damage.

Skeleton Key
You can do the Weird Shrines after you reach level 10. This shrine gives you a lockpick key that will never break and will set your Security to "Expert". Go to Leyawiin south of Imperial City and travel north using the right road. The one that does not lead to Bravil. Find the shrine called Nocturne, where you will see some people praying. Activate the shrine. The statue will talk about some thieves who stole her eye. Go back to Leyawiin and talk to the guard. He will tell you about Webaa-Na. You may have have seen him before if you did the quest to become a knight-errant. Talk to Webaa-Na and his friend. They will not admit anything. Walk away and in a short time they will start talking about trolls or something. They will stop when they see you in the room so hide and listen to them talk about it. Once you have heard them talking, they will tell you the location of the eye,which is in a cave. Go to the cave, retrieve the eye, and return to the Nocturne Shrine. You will now get the Skeleton Key. It greatly helps lockpicking because it won't break.

Saving lockpicks
If you go on a mission for the Theives Guild, it is easy to steal keys for all the doors from immobile gaurds or the owner(s) of the place you are robbing after you have leveled up your Sneak skill with the "Easy Sneak level" trick. Once you have stolen the keys you can open almost every door in the building you are in.

Easy Acrobatics skill
As you are moving around on foot, keep jumping instead of walking. This will greatly increase your Acrobatics skill.

Becoming a vampire
Before becoming a vampire, you should become a member of the Mages Guild, have access to the Arcane University, and be either a member of the Dark Brotherhood or started the Order of Virtuous Blood quest.

Dark Brotherhood Story: You can become a member of the Dark Brotherhood by killing an innocent person, going to sleep in an inn or by traveling to the Inn of Ill Omen and killing Rufio. Go to the Sanctuary and talk to Vicente and finish all of his contracts. After this he will ask you if you wish to become a vampire. Say "Yes", then sleep on the slab. When you wake up you must sleep again for twenty four hours three times. This will make you a full-fledged vampire.

Order Of Virtuous Blood Story: You do not need to start the quest, but if you do the vampires will be easier to kill. If you have not, travel along the river just to the east of Imperial City until you find a cave. Here you will find lots of vampires. Attack one and let it hit you a few times. Kill it, then go back to Imperial City. Get a room in an inn and sleep for twenty four hours three times. This will make you a full-fledged vampire.

Different weapons in Taking Care Of Lex quest
While doing the ''Taking Care Of Lex" quest for the Thieves Guild, you need scald the paper with Lex's seal. You will see a chest near the desk where the seal is. Come in the door directly behind the chestand you will get an Elven longsword, Glass longsword, Orcish helmet, and a Mythril sheild. If you come in from the door upstairs, you will get an Elven longsword and Dwarven greaves. You will not be able to open the chest if you come in the exact entrance.

Cure for vampiricy
You first need access to Arcane University. Go in and talk to the mage. He will tell you to talk to a man in Skingrad. Do as he says and run errands for whoever you need to talk to. After awhile you will be allowed to get rid of your vampiricy.

Duplicate items
Equip a bow and any set of arrows. Draw your bow back and go to the inventory screen. Select the arrows that you are using. Now go to the item to be duplicated. Drop the item, then leave the equipment screen and resume the game. The item that you dropped will be duplicated. You can pick up all the duplicates and use or sell them. The amount of copies of an item you make is the same as the number of arrows you have equipped. Such as,10 arrows allows 10 copies. This works with nearly all items and weapons. *** Do not try to duplicate more than 250 copies of an item or the game may freeze.

Infinite arrows
Go to the Bloodworks in the arena and find the gladiator that is practicing with his bow on a target. Stand close by him and when there are five to ten arrows in the target, take them before he does. He will just continue shooting when you move out of the way. This is an unlimited source of iron arrows, which can be sold to almost any merchant and therefore also makes an unlimited source of gold.

Go outside of the Inn Of Ill Omen where the man is practicing his archery. He is using steel arrows. Go in front of him and pick up the arrows. He will not hit you and just wait until you move out of his way. You will not get into trouble with the guards. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Easy stealing
Get the Gray Fox's mask and put it on. Steal something and wait for the guards to tell you, "Oh, you are the Gray Fox. I'm going to kill you" (or something similar). Select "Resist Arrest". Now, go to your inventory and take off the mask. Exit the menu, then yield to the guard by holding Block and pressing [Space] to talk to him at the same time. He should walk away. You will not have a bounty, and you will still have the stolen item.

Good cheap house
Go to the city of Anvil, then go to the inn. Inside is a man whose name starts with a "B". He is selling his grandfather's old manor. You can purchase it for 5,000 gold, which is very cheap considering that most houses are 15,000 gold and are not as good. The house (at first) is ugly and haunted. However, after completing the quick quest the house will be fixed up without any additional payment.

Easy skill bonuses
Complete all the Mage Guild Recommendation Quests to gain access to Arcane University. Now, create a Fortify Skill 100 spell that lasts for a few seconds on-self for Mercantile and/or Armorer. With the Mercantile spell, cast it in front of a merchant, activate them, and you will be able to invest 500 gold at their store without being a Master in Mercantile. In addition, you can drive harder bargains. For Armorer, cast the spell and then equip an Armorer's Hammer. Your hammer can be used infinitely without being a Master Armorer. You cannot, however, repair magical items without having legitimately reached the Journeyman Armorer level. Similar spells can be created for other attributes and/or skills: Personality and Speechcraft for raising people's dispositions, Security for picking any lock, etc.

Making Black Soul Gems
Take an empty Grand Soul Gem and a Soultrap spell to any of the four Necromancer lairs. There will be an altar which will only be active one day of the week. You may need to wait up to six game days. Place your Gem on the altar when it is active and cast Soultrap on it to make a Black Soul Gem. These are used for capturing the souls of NPCs. One is also required for one of the Daedric Quests as a tribute to the shrine.

Benefits and weaknesses of being a vampire
Vampires get a boost in many of their stats and abilities. The increase in abilities of a vampire is not determined by how much he sleeps but by how much he goes without feeding. Not exactly, but for each day a vampire goes without feeding, he will get a 5 point increase to his vampire stats and skills. To recieve these increases the vampire must sleep or wait. The game will notify you of these stat boosts. If the vampire is well fed, light will not harm him, but he will have 25% weakness to fire. After the first stat boost (which boosts vampire stats from 5 to 10), he will loose this weakness to fire. By looking under the magic tab, then the last of the five tabs in the magic section, one can see all the current effects on his character. The first thing is a "vampire meter" that has a percentage of how much one is a vampire (25% increments, begining at 25% going up to 100 in four stages). Depending on how high that percentage is, the sun will do more or less damage to you, from Sun Damage 1 all the way to 8. Furthermore, the time of the day is also important for sun damage. At dusk and dawn the damage dealt is very small, even to a 100% vampire. However, noon is a very dangerous time for a full vampire as he will have just enough time to run from one house on one side of the street to the other (depending on how much life he has). The stats that being a vampire increases are: Vampire Stats, Strength, Speed, Willpower, Sneak, Mysticism, Illusion, Hand to Hand, Destruction, Athletics, Acrobatics, and Resist Normal Weapons. Depending on which stage of the vampire you are in, you will get from 5 to 20 points in each of these stats (25% vampire = 5 points; 25% vampire = base vampire, fully fed). Other special stats or skills get added depending on the vampire level. Vampire Skills that are always present are: Hunter's Sight (Nighteye and Detect Life), Resist Disease 100%, and Resist Paralysis 100%.

Vampire 25%
Weakness to Fire: 20
+5 to all of the vampire stats

Vamipre 50%
Vampiric Seduction (charm on touch)
+10 to all of the vampire stats

Vampire 75%
Reign of Terror (fear)
+15 to all of the vampire stats

Vampire 100%
Embrace of Shadows (Invisibility + Night Eye)
+20 to all of the vampire stats
*** Most people and merchants will not talk to you in this form.

At base level you get +5 to Strength, Willpower, Speed, Acrobatics, Athletics, Destruction, Hand 2 Hand, Illusion, Mysticism, and Sneak. You also get a resistance to disease and paralysis, and a small resistance to normal weapons. For every day you go without feeding (up to a maximum of four days), your boosted skills will go up by an additional 5, as will your resistance to normal weapons. You also get a spell for each of the four days; on day one Hunter's Sight (Night Eye/Detect life), on day two Vampire's Seduction (Charm), on day three Reign of Terror (silence/demoralise area), and finally on day four Embrace of the Shadows (180 seconds Invisibliity, 90 seconds Night Eye). The weaknesses are, on day one (within 24 hours of last feeding) weakness to fire, you are safe from the sun; on day two (48 hours from last feeding), burn in sunlight; on day three (72 hours from last feeding), increased damage from sun; and on day four (over 96 hours from last feeding), everyone will recognize you as a vampire and most will not interact with you and there will be another increase in sun damage.

Easy Imperial Arena
Get a bow or some decent spells. Make sure you have at least 30 in Acrobatics. Immediately after the gate drops, run to your right, to where the right gate meets the fence. Jump onto the stone piece that juts out, then jump again to get on top of the little piece sticking out above it. Once on top, turn and fire on your helpless victims. When you have to fight mages or archers, stay on the ground and strafe behind the four central pillars for easy kills.

Once you are a Champion in the Arena, talk to the Grand Champion about his nobility and how he needs proof of his nobility. He will send you on a quest to Crowhaven and give you a key. Use the fast travel system to get to Anvil. You will then need to travel northwest to get to the Crowhaven ruin. Beware of the skeleton archer and skeleton guardian. The archer is easy, but the guardian is not. Just block and strike and you will eventually kill the guardian. Once you get inside the ruin, watch out for wolves. There will be one to the right as you enter. Just follow the path through the ruin, killing the wolves and skeleton archers. When you get to the gate that needs a key, use the key the Grand Champ gave you to unlock it. Walk through the gate and the only monster will be a half naked man with an Elven dagger. Take your time and block and strike twice. Do not underestimate the little dagger. Once he is dead, find the journal and your quest will be updated. When you go out of the gate that you unlocked with the key, there is a door down to your left. Beware, as there are three vampires and one wolf. The vampires will give you a disease. There is not anything special down here, and is an optional area . Exit the ruin and fast travel back to the Arena. Talk to the Grand Championand he will become extremely depressed and not want to live. Challenge him in the arena. Talk to Ysabela about the challenge. Go up to the Arena. Once the gates drop he will charge at you. However, he will not attack you. He will tell you to kill him to put him out of his misery. Hack away at him. Once he dies you will get an Elven longsword and Dwarven shield (heavy). Bring back his Raiment Of Valor to get your own.

Easily completion of Independent Thievery requirements
Use the following trick to easily complete the "Independent Thievery" requirements and get easy gold. Take a very valuable item such as the Skeleton Key (from the Nocturnal Daedric Shrine quest) and use the "Duplicate items" trick. Go to any merchant and sell the duplicates. If you sell the items to a Thieves Guild fence, you should have the required amount for most of the remaining quests in no time.

Making stolen items authentic
When you steal items, most of the merchants will not buy them. Use the following trick to authenticate them. Get in the jail and escape. Take your items authenticated or pay for your days in jail and you will have the items authenticated again.

Infinate recharge
Use the "Duplicate items" trick on a Soul Gem. Pick them all up. When an item is on low charge you can recharge it back to full without wasting money on Soul Gems or having to bother with soul trapping.

Easy kills with Nord race
Select the Nord as your race and choose The Lover as you star pattern. Get an enemy down a little bit in health, then use The Lover's star pattern ability to stun them. While they are stunned, hit them with Nordic Frost. This will kill almost all enemies and works well as a finisher.

Easy lockpicks and Sneak level
When you are at Imperial Water Front Garden to join the Thieves Guild, you can steal lockpicks from Armand Christope. After you steal all his lockpicks, if you go to diologue and buy lockpicks that he does not have they will still appear in your inventory. Now, go into Sneak mode and steal back your money. Repeat as many times as desired for free lockpicks and to increase your Sneak level.

Unnamed sword
Use the ''Duplicate items'' trick on a paintbrush. After getting at least twenty paint brushes, go outside of ''A Fighting Chance'' in the Imperial City Market District at midnight. Drop a paintbrush. Notice that it will float. Get on top of the brush and repeat the process to form a set of stairs. Once you get high enough to reach the top of the A Fighting Chance store, get on top of the building and look for a chest that is locked. The lockpick level is very difficult. Lockpick it and look inside to find an odd sword without a name. The sword has no attack, breaks easily, and cannot be sold.

Permanent enchantment
Use the following trick for duplication or a permanent enchantment. You can duplicate a drop-able item, and if that item is equipable with constant effect enchantments you can make them permanent. However, the item once made permanent cannot be re-equipped, but each enchanted item is different. You can use the "Duplicate items" trick to make as many as desired, then sell them. Use the "Duplicate items" trick with a bow an arrows to duplicate the items to make permanent. Equip one of the items you want to make permanent. There must be an unequipped version still in your inventory for this to work. Use the "Duplicate items" trick again; however, drop the unequipped version of the item you have equipped and want to make permanent. The equipped one and the others will drop and you will never be able to equip that item again, but if you check your stats the items bonuses will be permanent. You can duplicate anything that can be dropped, including Grand Soul Gems with Grand Souls captured.

This trick only works with wearable items. Take any wearable item with a magical enchantment that you wish to make permanent and use the "Duplicate items" trick to duplicate it twice so that you have two of that item. Pick up the item and equip one. While you are wearing that item, duplicate the one you are not wearing by at least four. *** The number of arrows used determines how many copies are made. Both items will drop on the ground in stacks of two. You will now no longer be wearing that item, but will still have its effects. *** These effects are permanent. Do not attempt this with any item with an effect you may want to remove later, such as Water Walking, Night Eye, etc.

Secret treasure
Buy the house in Skingrad, then go to the top floor and look for the room with the deer mantle. Jump on top of the mantle, then jump again onto the loft design in the back corner. You will find an old note that has a riddle on it which leads to a treasure.

Completing the Brother Good Betrayed quest
When you are in Bruma,you see will a guard in front the house on the right behind the temple (coming from the east gate). He will tell you someone was murdered. There will be a woman and two guards when you go in. One of the guards will let you have a dialogue menu. With it you can choose a response. To have your own investigation,you may have to bribe the guard. When you talk to the woman, she will tell you that her husband was murdered by a vampire hunter but she doesn't believe him to be a vampire. She will tell you to find out more from the vampire hunter. Talk to innkeepers to find where he is. He will always be in the Sac And Tap on the left side of the east gate. Don't bribe the owner of the Sac And Tap. He will not tell you where he is. Get the Charm spell in the basement of the house of the widow to get him to give you the key to the vampire hunter's room. Use it on the Sac And Tap owner and he will give you the key. When you go into his room in the back you will see a book behind a table. Take the book to the guard you talked to at the widow's house. He will then tell you to meet him outside the Sac And Tap. After you do this, he will tell you that the vampire hunter ran for a cave beyond the town. You will see three guards in the fields trying to kill each other. When you see this just wait it out and take their armor. There also may be one or two bandits on the way that are relatively easy to defeat. You must have a high Acrobatic or Agility skill for the next part. When you see the vampire hunter stepping out of the side cave, shoot a fireball or snowball at him and exit the cave. He will follow. Run all the way back to Bruma. He will follow you in and the guards will take him out. You can get away from the vampire hunter by jumping as much as you can and by running in a zig-zag pattern. Try to cast healing or protecting spells on yourself during the run back to Bruma. If you do it right you can finish the mission with very little skill or strength.

Make a Drain Health spell and set to "Self" and use 1 Magicka. Now, go upstairs. Go into Sneak mode and run into the wall without stopping. Activate the magic spell over and over to gain levels quickly. *** When you activate the magic spell you will think it is hurting you, but it isn't.

Shadowmere
You can buy different kinds of horses. At the beginning of the game at Weynon Priory you can get a free Paint Horse. This is the weakest and slowest type of horse. Do not buy any more horses. They are too expensive when you are begining out. You can get Shadowmere for free. He the best horse in the game. You can get him after you finish the Dark Brotherhood quest "The Purification". It is the first quest you get when you start working for Lachance. Kill an innocent person (maybe a beggar if you are not part of the Thieves Guild) and sleep so that you may begin the Dark Brotherhood quests. After a few you will get Shadowmere. He is black/purple, wears a skull on his forehead, has a bloody handprint on the sides of his sadle, and red eyes that glow sometimes at night. He will help you in battle if you fight near him. He cannot die or run away. He is very important and will just fall unconcious if defeated but will rise again in a few seconds. If you do lose him, just go to Fort Farragut and he will find him there.

Easy items
Go into any store. Do not break in. Find a location that is dark enough when you crouch down, the eye will be transparent. Find items laying around the store such as weapons and armor shop. Punch them into the dark corner. Bend down and pick it up undetected. You can do this to advance in the Theives Guild.

If you try and kill important people such as counts and leaders of guilds,they will not die but will become unconscious. You can use this to your advantage. Find someone important in the game and try to kill that person in one shot. Like a power attack with a sword. When they fall unconscious, go into Sneak mode and keep trying to steal from them. Soon it will work. *** Try to steal from them as fast as possible. You can get caught while they are getting up . You will not have a bounty on your head. No one will dislike you any more than they did before.

Stat boost
Get a large stat boost by completeing all fifteen of the Daedric quests. You can choose any of the three major skill sets; Combat, Guile, or Magic. Each one will give you a ten point permanent boost to the related stats and some of the related skills. It is well worth it to do the Daedric quests plus all the other good items you will get while doing the quests. If you are at a high enough level,you can activate up to fourteen at once. The final quest requires level 21+. You need to complete all of the other Daedric quests first.

Take a desired Sigil Stone and an already enchanted item or regular item and enchant the item with a Sigil Stone. Use the "Duplicate items" trick on it to get a permanent stat boost for whatever the item was meant to increase. Do this again with the same or different enchantment to get stat boosts in that category. Sell the extra copies for extra gold.

Easy kills in The Purification quest
As you are doing the "The Purification" quest for the Dark Brotherhood, do this trick to kill some of the members in the santuary such as Ocheeva and Vincent. Get your Disposition with them as high as you can, then sneak attack them with a dagger. Propose a yeild before they have a time to fight back. You can attack and yeild over and over until you kill them.

Easy lockpick use
As you are unlocking a door, press Up on a key, and pause the game. Look at the tab you raised up. If it is mostly up and near the top, resume the game and do it again. If it is only half-way or mostly down, resume the game and press [Space]. You should have that tab done. Go on with the next tab. This may take a few trys, but after you do it once it should be easy.

Easy Conjuration skill
Go east near the town of Bruna, then southeast. You have gone too far if you reach The Red Ruby Cave. You will need to go back west a little. You should see a shrine. Activate it and it will give you Conjuration points as well as a temporary bound weapon and/or greaves. You can activate the shrine every 24 hours. Wait in front of it for 24 hours,and activate it again. Do this as many times as you like.

Floating paintbrushes
There are paintbrushes stored in containers. They are at different locations. If you take one out it will not fall if you drop it. It will just float where you were looking at when you dropped it. You can reach high places by dropping them in sets of two or more and useing them as steps. They can also use them as barriers between you and enemies.

Good armor
At the start of the game when the King's convoy is attacked, take the dead guard's katana and armor. You can easily defeat the rats and trolls.
