[ALL] Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So I know some on here have put in some time mining in the game. Just curious if the veins reset after a time, or is a mine done once you've tapped it once?

Edit - found my answer.

Considering I'm only level 20 with 40 hours played...I don't think so unless we're both slow as shit lol.

I've played about 20 hours (according to Raptr), I'm not sure of the actual play time since I have paused the game and left for awhile several times. BUt, I'm only on level 10. I do much wandering and sight seeing apparently.

I basically walk in a direction and do whatever comes up

Damn man, well done. I stopped playing a while ago because I didn't have the patience to slog from 48 to 50, let alone do that FUCKING AWFUL Thieves Guild cheevo. And since I wasn't doing those, I kind of let the rest fall by the wayside that I hadn't gotten yet.

Haha thanks. Once I got in the high-40's I had gotten to level 100 on One-Handed and Light Armor so I switched to Archery/Two-Handed and Heavy Armor, all in which I had really low levels in so I started gaining levels quickly again.

The Thieves Guild achievement was a pain in the ass but if you keep track of what towns you need more missions in it's not so bad. You can always start a mission, see what town it's in, and then get rid of it if it's useless.

skyrim RIP? what happened here? lol

skyrim RIP? what happened here? lol

I stopped playing to play Forza and haven't had the desire to play.

I wanted to today but I'm watching football and feeling like crap.


Besides, I usually turn on either console and play whatever is in there and right now, its Saints Row 3 on 360.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

the house of horrors mission in markath was randomly awesome

skyrim RIP? what happened here? lol

i built a new pc and been gaming on that. i havnt touched my 360 in about 2 weeks. got the old republic and only have 30 days to finish it

 

[Champ]

I thought about grabbing old republic.

A lot of the daedric quests that I've done have been pretty solid.

Ya they are by far my favorite

My cousin stole my copy of Skyrim.

Don't ever sell your thieves guild armor. You can never get it back so you can't beat the quest.

 

[Bigpapa42]

My chronic laziness won't let me go find it, but I saw a Youtube clip of someone creating a bare-fisted fighter. Looks like an awesome-fun way to play. There is just something on another level of epic about punching a dragon to death.

 

[jaxjaggywires]

I was disappointed with the Dark Brotherhood quest...Oblivion's was much better. Thieves Guild was ok, haven't finished Companions or mage school yet.

Its official... Alchemy at a high level is epic. Single best way to make money in the game. I started buying up everything useful from any herbalists in holds I visited, plus the stuff I found when adventuring. So I went on a potion-making spree tonight, focusing on the most valuable potions first. Not only got my Alchemy up to 93 (from about 83 when I started the spree) but am making a ton off the potions sells. I've sold about 2/3 of them so far and made 15k gold. More, really, as I cleaned out almost every merchant I went to of anything I could use, so they had more gold to buy potions off me. A few of the potions are worth over 1k apiece and a lot are worth 500-750 gold. So the tough part is traveling around to merchants to sell them. Time consuming. But oh so profitable.

I'm not even really maximizing things yet, either. I buffed up some items awhile back to make more potent potions but could do a lot better now. Just haven't bothered yet.

Alchemy isn't like Smithing, where the skill increase you get for each item is the exact same regardless of item. The skill increase you get is based on the value of the potion created. So it pays to focus on the more valuable potions, every which way. You also want to use the 5 main perks to increase the potency of your potion - again, it will help you level faster. Using enchanting to buff some items provides another slight boost.

so i've only started to do alchemy and i'm curious as to how you guys found out what to mix (granted i cheated and just looked it up on http://www.uesp.net/) and also do you use the "optional" part and what does it do.

i found the book in arcadia's shop and it had some stuff in there but when i used things like the deathbell it didn't seem to do anything more to the potion, unlike what it said in the book (i believe saying it helped enchanting)

i think right now my alchemy is at 34 or 35
