I brake for blue butterflies
Having played this game every way imaginable, as I'm sure many of you have as well, I decided to do an experiment and post the results here for those interested. I decided to make a build and train every level to see what kind of skill spread I could accomplish. No legendary resets or exploits, just good old fashioned grinding with training at every level, including lv1. As you can imagine, the first 5 levels or so were gained strictly through training but after that the grind started. I ran questlines only long enough to unlock specific trainers that I knew I would need.
By the way, thank God for educational YouTube videos for distraction otherwise this grind would have drove me crazy. Learned alot about the Emerald Tablets of Thoth during this grind... anywho, here's the results.
Level 60
Archery-90
Alteration-100
Enchanting-100
Smithing-100
Heavy Armor-51
Block-50
Two-Handed-28
One-Handed-41
Light Armor-21
Sneak-53
Lockpicking-33
Pickpocket-52
Speech-100
Alchemy-100
Illusion-100
Conjuration-100
Destruction-65
Restoration-72
Not bad. I'm pretty happy with the results. Of course there were a few incidental levels gained along the way but a vast majority of these levels were gained by crafting, selling and training with grinding on the usual magic suspects (Ill, Conj, Alt) to fill the cracks along the way.
I think I'm ready to quest now.
