Legendary Skill Training : V

» Thu Nov 07, 2013 12:58 pm

I've had some skills maxed for awhile now (Smithing, Enchanting, Sneak, etc.) and I'm wondering about how 'Legendary Skill Training' works.

Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Questions -

When you choose to Legendary Train a skill - does it reset to 0 and do you lose all perks associated with that skill? (So no more making Elven Armor, etc. until you've retrained it with Legendary?)

Do you get all those perk points back, and - does it cost more than those accumulated perk points to re-train that skill in Legendary mode?

Is it more difficult to train back to 100 for a Legendary Skill? example - will you need to mine and smith as much or more than you did the first time you got Smithing to 100?

If you choose to re-train Smithing in Legendary - are your armor and weapons MUCH more powerful?

I already have a set of (Epic) light armor - how much more would this increase if I had Smithing (Legendary) Trained to 100?

Thanks for any help and information - overall would you say it's worth it to retrain skill as Legendary?

When you make a skill legendary it'll be reset to 15 and any invested perk points get refunded. The skill itself gets absolutely no benefit for being made legendary.

The whole purpose of this braindead system is to break the character level cap of 81.

It resets to 15 and the perks are removed.

They are added to your perk pool to be used however you want.

Not sure of the question... but I'll try. The skill advances at the same rate as any other skill of the same skill level. It levels as fast or as slow as before.

No different than it was originally.

No. It;'s still the same damage modifiers as before.

Armor is basically capped at an Armor rating of 567. Be that form one piece or all 4 pieces. Anything higher does nothing.

It was implemented for the sole purpose of allowing the player to continue leveling their character. If you want to raise your characters level then it may be worth it.

A lot of people specialize their characters and only use a certain set of skills. This eventually results in them capping their character. I usually stop leveling around 45-55 pending the given character. I'm fine with that.

Then there are those that want to keep on leveling and don't want to train skills they wouldn't be using for a particular character. So, its a leveling thing.

However, some still use the feature to give another layer of challenge.

Great! Thanks so much for the input - this gives me a much clearer picture of what Legendary Skill training is all about and if it's something I want to invest in. Thanks much!
