soo many pages

but the maps are great especially the double sided poster one which ill probably use more than the one on the USEP

any one else have this that could tell me which pages to look at for training advice for destruction ? ive been attacking mammoths with sparks but my exp bar doesnt seem to be moving even tho i killed 3 mammoths now

Destruction is one of the slowest to level up. Best you can do is get experience from Destruction trainers or casting high levels spells.

With lower level spells duration is the key, the longer the spell is used the more experience. Higher level spells give more experience. That's been my experience anyway.

You're not a fan of Google, huh EpicFail?

Sparks is a low level spell, and it doesn't gain you much experience to actually level Destruction. Recommend trying higher level spells as mentioned above.

so you bought the massive guide book but don't actually want to read through it. lol, thanks OP you made me laugh ^^

on topic, the more you use destruction, the more it will go up!

Or better yet, use the table of contents.

Did they fix any of the numerous errors and typos that they didn't fix in the 2nd version? That was half the reason I went ahead and got the 2nd edition, and they didn't even bother.

Better to just use the uesp. More accurate and is free.

Come on guys he wants to chat with us, what's the harm?

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim This is a helpful tool for anyone with questions though feel free to ask what you want here. Beware of spoilers though of course, it's filled with them.

I don't understand what's so funny about that. Fairly arrogant anolysis.

It is the size of 3 encyclopedias put together. No surprise someone could use some guidance navigating its pages.

I have been playing as a dunmer for 16 hours and using the sparks and flames as my only way of dealing damage. I am on solstheim and I have level 38 destruction. I have been in lots of battles.
I'm sure it goes by the higher the cost of the spell, more destruction xp is gained.

Man, some of you guys are just mean.

I don't see what's arrogant about it. That's why the table of contents exist.

I have the guide as well, and so far, have not encountered any typos. (I've only read the first 100 pages, though). The uesp is nice (GREAT, in fact) but I really like having a real/physical reference guide as a keepsake, and this one is very well done. Heavy too. I'd guess the thing weighs about 5 lbs.

Yeah, well maybe the table of contents wasn't enough, and OP wanted to discuss it in a thread and make conversation with other people.

Arrogant is saying "Haha OP you made me laugh with your topic."

Um, okay.

Happy to clear that up for you.

I would use higher level destruction spells except i cant get any with a low level destruction and untill i can get some septims together to train enchanting my manna pool will stay at about 130 (not planning make it larger if i can enchant for endless)

Trust me, it'll be a while before your enchanting is that high. You're going to need a lot more Magicka. You'd be lucky enough to throw 3 Fireballs with that amount.

Magicka is the key with higher level spells not skill level. You merely have to have the magicka pool + fortify magicka and Destruction spell cost modifier gear in order to cast them. Plus the money to buy the spells of course.

NPC's that sell spells dont tend to sell higher tear ones untill your destruction is 50,75 and 100 and whith enchanting i could make 100% fortify destruction and illusion and be unstop able because infinite magicka for both school take everything out with ice spear and for few things that are too strong frenzy weaker stuff followed by invisibility to get past

You are correct.

is why i dont want to waste stats on magicka if im not gonna use it hopeing i can get to 100 destruction then maybe around level 50 destruction be able to kill stuff for gold to get 100 enchanting my only problem is getting the EXP

does switching to legendary status effect how much XP i get or would it be the same as if i was on novice ?

and i mean like from a single strike at an enemy

Typos are insignificant, the main problem was incorrect information. For example,

**The vanilla release of the book lists 20 different alchemy ingredients with the 'Damage Health' effect. Four of those are wrong (Mora Tapinella, Orange Dartwing, Slaughterfish Egg, and Slaughterfish Scales). This is because they used the Find function on a computer to assemble this list. A computer will not tell the difference between 'Damage Health' and 'Lingering Damage Health' when you type in 'Damage Health' into the Find. So they assumed that all the 'Damage Health' hits that were listed were ingredients with 'Damage Health'.

Same goes for both 'Damage Magicka' and 'Damage Stamina', but worse due to there being both a Lingering Damage and Damage Regen.

**For the armor perks 'Assassin's Aegis' and 'Nightengale's Aegis' the book states +25% armor rating, when it is in fact +25 points.

**There is a crafting recipe that doesn't actually exist: 2 Leather Strips + 2 Refined Malachite + 1 Refined Moonstone = Glass Arrow.

**They list the various types of minable ore with locations to find them. Redbelly Mine produces Ebony, not Iron as listed. Embershard Mine produces Iron, but isn't listed at all.

**They do not list Breezehome's Living Room or Kitchen decorations, as such the Total cost reads 6250 gold instead of the actual 6800 gold.

**They say the Ebony Blade is a Sword, not a Greatsword. Also, 3 of the 4 notes in the 'Notes' section of the table are misplaced.

This was all in the first 91 pages.
