How to earn XP more faster?

[_MaZ_TeR_]

Ever since I reached lvl100 with heavy armor, two and one handed, it took me countless hours just to reach level 59 with my overall levels and I'm still just 3/4 out of 60 after who knows how many hours, meanwhile it took nowhere near that much to reach previous levels because I constantly gained XP from the three skill branches. Is there some way to get more XP easily?

Console commands bruh

Why do you want higher levels? I play on the hardest level and have a mod that boost the AI of the enemy and use weapons and armor that have the lightest of upgrading and enchantments and I still think the game is to easy

Make the skills legendary or use other skills.

Get the Alteration spell "Detect Life" and use it in Windhelm or Solitude, since you get xp based on how many you detect with the spell. Alteration "Detect Dead" works in a similar manner if you use it in a heavy populated Draugr Tomb.... Fortify Alteration Rings/necklace/Circlets help, as do master Robes of alteration, since you can keep casting the spells for longer while detecting withthem, and earning xp.

Illusion Muffle/invisibility spell levels up illusion quicker too.

Pickpocket increases on value of what you pickpocket,

Armour skills increase based on damage taken
Weapons increase based on base damage given, not the damage given just what the weapon would have done if not improved or enchanted...
not improving weapons and armour will increase the rate at which these increase.

To obviously earn skill points

The easiest trick (or exploit depending on who you ask ;) ) is to enchant 4 things with 25% alteration bonus. Then use telechinesis to pick something up. While holding the thing, open your map and fast travel as far as you can. When you arrive, the game assumes that you walked all the way carrying the thing with your mind, and gives you the appropriate levelling. Which is alot :)

If you are not an enchanter, block is also easy levelling. Make it legendary, get your best shield, find a frost troll and let it loose on your shield. After a while you are on 100 again. Maybe a tad less of an exploit. Depending on who you ask :D

Besides, at some point in the game one just wants to reach lvl81 so the good old Ebony Warrior comes along.

Most of the skills have a way to improve them relatively easy. Some of the skills have a way to improve them drastically like Telekinesis with fast travel or Harmony in the middle of Whiterun during a day time.

And never forget to study 5 points of the skill you are currently studying using trainers services with each new level you get. BTW to study a skill from 15 to 90 (it's a max level a trainer can teach you) it requires 120450 septims.

Or get the mod Ebonvale and buy some training.

Ah thanks, I didn't realize I can just spem non-damaging spells at npcs and rack up XP

If your only goal is levels the easiest method is magic, specifically illusion. The Muffle spell can be cast out of combat for a great deal of xp, combine it with detect life to level two skills at once. I suggest Solitude for maximum number of npcs.

The alteration method suggested by mikaeliby is faster, but I have not actually got that to work, try that method first.

The Ebony Warrior .. .LOL .. i've never seen this guy, because I'm always ready with the game at something about Lvl 65-70 ... story finished, all dungeons clear, nothing more to do.

Combat skills in general take a long time to level.

As others have said, magic is the way to go when it comes to power leveling.

I find the most effective is getting your enchanting to 100, reduce the costs of spells for a certain school by 100%, and use high level spells indefinitely.

The best one I found is going into a town (a good spot is the merchant square in Riften) and casting Harmony from Illusion tree. It only takes a few casts to go from 15-100.

I spent probably 15 minutes in Whiterun casting some illusion spells and got up maybe 2 levels. How can I raise the amount of XP I get from spells? Do I just have to upgrade the skill trees of those spells?

Have you used Harmony or other spells? Try Harmony. Try to find most populated place. Center of any major city. Like Riften market or Whiterun market during the day hours. More NPCs got under your spell - more XP you get.
