Last week I wrote a piece on easily leveling up smithing, enchanting, a weapon skill, and your speech skill in Skryim. Uh sorry, but I found a better way. I’m certain I am not the first person to have figured this out, but it may be a help to someone out there. So, very quickly (because it’s frikkin roasting here and it’s more effort than I can handle to even type right now) here it is.
1: Find or buy the Alteration spell Transmute Mineral Ore, and read it.
2: Find, mine, beg, borrow, or steal iron ore. If you find iron ingots you can still use them for the iron dagger approach, but when you have ore, leave it as ore.
3: Using the Transmute Metal Ore spell to convert all your iron ore into first silver, and finally gold ore.
4: Now smelt the gold ore to ingots.
5: Forge 2 Golden Rings worth 75 gold from each ingot.
6: Enchant and sell as before.
This will make you more money at sale, raise your smithing skill faster, and add the Alteration school of magic to the skills you’re raising.
And now I’m going to find a dark corner and die. Man I hate this heat. See you Tuesday, if I’m still alive I promise it won’t be Skyrim post.
