OK, level 14 thief/assassin, primarily using a bow from stealth position.

I level up to 14 today and it shows my archery skill at 41. The first perk, increasing damage by 80% wasn't available because I think you need 60 to get that.

So I see Eagle Eye text is white, so that should be available. All the other perks are grey. In the left box below that, it shows my level as 41, in the right box it says Requires 30. I click on it (PC user with mouse), hit return, it won't let me select it.

The other odd thing is, when you first get to the archery constellation it says ARCHERY 25 - and the number 25 is in dark red color.

Have not seen that. Looked at everything concerning my character and don't see anything red/out of the ordinary. Only issue I have is a 1040 gold fine that I got - don't know where or why. Went down in the Jarl's dungeon to pay that but it doesn't come up as an option. If anyone knows how to get rid of this please let me know.

Thanks

just increase your archery, it should go back to normal. you may have been diseased or cursed and it could be a possible display glitch but increasing your level will turn things back to normal.

You have to unlock the perks in a chain, so if you're not unlocking a perk and you meet the requirements, then you probably haven't unlocked the perk that precedes the one you're choosing.

And when the numbers are red, it means that skill has been damaged or debuffed, check your active effects under the magic menu to see if you have a disease or debuff active.

When they're green, they're buffed to above their normal level.

Yeah it it's a glitch with getting debuffed and it doesn't reset. Level it again or go talk to an archery trainer and assuming you aren't still diseased it should reset itself.

As the above poster is saying, get your archery up one level, and the red will disapear, i had the same glitch, and couldn't remove the red numbers, i did one training in archery, and it turned back to normal

Thanks I'll give it a shot.

She's not, and hasn't been, diseased. That's the first thing I checked.
