Set the difficulty to “Novice”, and have a weak one-handed attack enemy hit you while
healing. This will level the armor you are wearing, Restoration, and also may level
up Illusion.
Easy experience and Illusion skill
Most spells require you to actively use them in combat situations or on specific
objects to progress, but the Muffle spell does not require this. Muffle is an
Illusion spell that quiets your movements. Continually cast Muffle while you are
walking around the world of Skyrim to boost your Illusion skill and increase your
overall experience.
Easy Archery skill
Go to Riverwood, find an elf named Faendal, and then deliver a note to Camilla. Next,
find Faendal, and ask him to follow you. Make sure you have at least 200 gold. Ask
him to train you. When he does, ask him to trade with you. Go into his inventory, and
take your money back. You can do this five times a level, and it really helps early
in the game. Repeat this as much as desired.
Easy Blocking skill
Use the following trick to level up your Blocking skill or save a few spare perks.
Find a weak enemy that does not enter water (for example, a wolf). Pin yourself
between the enemy and the water, then use a rubber band to hold the trigger button
that controls your shield for as long as desired to keep leveling up the Blocking
skill. Note: Make sure the enemy will not move from where he is attacking you.
