Instead of granting the same experience for essentially everything, the patch makes the skill similar to the others in the sense that experience is based on crafted item value. You should try to acquire materials that you will be able to craft into the highest value item possible. Just be wary of how much you spend on the materials and make sure you're not taking huge losses in the finished product.

Oh so the patch nerfs the Iron Dagger approach? D:

Yeah. Although it's lame that we have to come up with new methods, Smithing was probably overpowered. I'd rather them make it more difficult to raise instead of having the benefits/effects nerfed.

The sibbi black-briar glitch works just fine. I was using it today, running the latest version on my 360. He won't attack you, and won't even call out for guards. The problem, that I think is creating the doubt here, is that you absolutely do need to be arrested for it to work. Just walking into the RIften jail as a free man and trying it, Sibbi will react as any NPC does. You have to get arrested, escape your cell, and then it will work. Stealth killing the patrolling guard helps a lot.

Thanks for your input!It's nice getting a fast response on that issue; I just added that update about it possibly not working yesterday after a player raised questions about it in the support forum. I'll update the guide to reflect your new information.

For the benefit for this guide, could somebody help me lead a "team" to figure out the enigma of the new Smithing? It would make a good separate guide as well for how much everything increases and the general fastest way to raise the skill, along with possible areas to acquire your ingredients.The addition to this guide would be the fastest part, along with maybe the areas for materials. While the other guide would be much more in-depth and all the contributors would be credited as well.

How would the team work? I agree that it does need to be researched more, specifically for the Smithing/Enchanting Guide.

I'm not 100% sure as of right now, but i think multiple people working on one thing would be much more efficient over just myself. I'll figure it out and post a start-up thread on the General discussion

For the speech level up guide, the guy says that it is the truth so I have to pay him to do it. Any suggestions

[Unknown ProbLem]

I'm pretty sure you can just choose persuasion over bribe. As far as i know, they both work, but perhaps you gain more by a bribe. Something that would need to be tested. Can anybody already confirm?

You need to have like 25 speech (I'm pretty sure) to use the persuasion option. To get this, try using a trainer or just keep playing, leveling up speech by buying things or talking to people. I think giving money to beggars raises your speech for a short period of time. Not long, but maybe long enough to glitch to 25.

[Unknown ProbLem]

enough though, that you'd be able to raise it high enough to keep it? What about enchanting some armor? just to add until you break past 25, then resell?

[Blake]

25 isn't that hard to get so you really don't need to put that much effort. Giving money to a beggar should do the trick for a few quick levels.

[Unknown ProbLem]

True, just was trying to make a build, that seems a lot harder than I thought... so I have enchanting on my mind xD I personally don't like it, but i'm asking for feedback as soon as I post it.

You can train combat on him. His hp regenerates pretty fast, you won't get in trouble for beating your horse (ikr), and you don't have to actively find enemies to fight.
