Skyrim Legendary Skills

What do Legendary Skills do in Skyrim?

After a patch updating Skyrim to version 1.9, Skyrim legendary skills appeared in the game. They provide an opportunity to reset the level of any skill to the initial level (15), and distribute the released points in a new way. So, if you decide that you don’t really need some skill, but manage to learn it, you can easily reset the skill and put the perks into other skills, which is extremely practical. 

When the skill level reaches 100, it can be made legendary, after which the skill itself will return to the 15 level, and a symbol with the image of the imperial dragon will appear. Next to it, you will find the number that will show how many times the skill has become legendary.

Increasing the legendary skills in Skyrim to the 100 level once more allows you to make it legendary again. So, skills legendary several times allows to get all the perks in the amount of 251 pieces.

How to Make Skills Legendary in Skyrim?

There are several ways to quickly upgrade your skills to legendary.

• Start leveling up your hero with a blacksmith skill and at the same time improve the Enchantment skill. This will bring a lot of gold income at the beginning of the game
• The best place to start development is a store in the city of Whiterun called Warrior’s House because there are two merchants you can sell your items
• You should buy iron ore or skin from both merchants and start working: cut the skin, create swords and daggers, improve them, and move your smithing to level 30
• After that, you need to study the Dremere equipment and collect scrap metal to the hundredth level in the maximum quantity
• Then we melt it into ingots and forge bows from it
• You can also make jewelry. This will help to quickly develop skills at further levels

This way you can quickly and efficiently get Skyrim legendary skills. Maximally increasing after such a beginning, all skills will be easy and simple. Moreover, it is a good way to earn money.

Best Skyrim Legendary Skills

So, you can make all the skills in the game legendary. However, there are several skills that you are likely to make legendary first. So, here is the ranked list of bet 3 Skyrim legendary skills.

3. Enchanting

Enchanting is a very useful skill that is easy to turn into Legendary. What is his secret? This skill does not greatly affect your battles and battle survival. Moreover, it is not so difficult to upgrade it to the Legendary, taking into account the fact that you can upgrade it in parallel with the smithing skill.

To do this is not at all difficult. Buy the weakest and cheapest soul stones from a merchant, create a huge number of rings and jewelry from all available materials, enchant them all, and sell them. This way you can very fast reach the 100 level on enchanting.

Moreover, do not forget to capture souls from enemies during your travels. This will help you save your money.

2. Alchemy

Alchemy is surprisingly a very powerful skill because of how much money you can earn on it, and it can also help you very well in the future. Many players underestimate him very much. The skill Alchemy is very versatile, and is suitable for the character of any class, whether it be a magician, warrior, or archer. It is very easy to pump it, so you can easily make it legendary, and then again gain 100 skill level.

How to make Skyrim Legendary Skill out of it? Go to Whiterun, there go to Arcadia. She is an Alchemist and can teach you alchemy for money. Moreover, if you have little money, you can pay her, and then it is easy to steal the same money from her. If you do not have enough pickpocket skills, you can wait until she falls asleep. This process can be repeated again and again, the main thing is to increase your character’s skill from time to time so that she can teach you alchemy again.

1. Smithing

Smithing is a useful skill at any stage of the game, so I recommend always increasing it. However, making this skill Legendary is a very nice idea because you can maximize this skill to 100 level very quickly.

You need to stock up on the “Transmute” spell and buy all the iron ingots you can find. You can also walk around the mines and get a lot of iron using a pickaxe. Then, using the “Transmute” spell, turn all of these bars into gold. Make sure you melt it to get gold bars. Then you can turn these ingots into gold rings, which you can either enchant to increase your enchanting skill, or simply sell for profit.

You can find the “Transmute” spell north of Whiterun and east of Silent Moons Camp, near the Halted Stream Camp.

Skyrim Legendary Skills: Pros and Cons

Actually, legendary skills in Skyrim have both advantages and disadvantages.

As for the advantages, you can make a skill legendary as many times, as you need. So, that means that you can increase 1 or 2 skills, get a hero level for it, make them legendary, and repeat the process. This will allow you to increase the hero level fast and get lots of skill points. This allows you to focus on a few skills that you like, rather than all 18 available.

For example, now you do not need to bother with skills that are not suitable for the selected category of hero. The wizard no longer needs to swing two-handed swords and axes, and the armored fighter doesn't need to climb into someone else’s pocket to steal something.

As for the disadvantages, making a skill from 100 level to 15 will make you weaker. You will lose all your bonuses from the skill, so you need to improve it again. That is why, if you make one of your primary skills legendary, for example two-handed sword, you may find it hard to fight against strong enemies.
