Wow. Level 130?!?!? Hey, can you still train 5 times per level and are you still able to level up magic-health-stamina when you level up beyond 81?

My master werewolf is only Lv. 15 in Orc form but a master werewolf. It's been 2 months in-game and still no signs of reverting back to an Orc
My goal is to surpass my old " maul count " which was around 5-6000 on my first werewolf, I'm shooting for the 10-15,000 range this time
My Orc isn't really all that strong, he'll uses one-handed,block,archery and light armor but seeing how he spends most of his time as a werewolf his skills are slow to level. His werewolf skills on the other hand....I had the werewolf perk tree filled out with in an hour of me first getting the gift. Now I spend my days hunting anything that moves
Nah, no signs of the Resto. exploit being patched.
edit....
I should point out too that in order to achieve the " monster " your looking for one MUST use exploits a little. Not too much, just enough to get to where you want to get. The Resto. exploit is IMO one of the more legit methods to Lv. up, you still need to gather regents, you still need to Lv. enchanting to get super potions etc...etc...There's still a little bit of work involved to this exploit.
My current character is a Half-Nord, Half-Breton 15 year old female who finds herself in Skyrim after her family's caravan was attacked while she was asleep. With the help of Ralof, she makes her way to Riverwood. Gerdur and Hod take plight on her situation and Hod offers her a job at wood cutting for 120 gold per day.
She's been working to train herself in archery with Faendal, but still has a few levels to go. The cost of food and shelter (she stayed at Gerdur's for one night, but didn't want to mooch), clothing, and other necessities has made the task slow going.
She's been in Riverwood for about two months now, anxious to see this "Whiterun" they speak of.
Alvor told her she can learn how to craft hide armor at Riften, and take up dagger lessons at Whiterun. She'll even have the opportunity to learn about the local flora once she speaks to Arcadia.
Right now, though: earn gold, because it's expensive to live in Skyrim at 120 gold per day.
I've probably seen that mill animation more times in this one game than I have in the entire time I've played Skyrim. Boring, for sure, but this is my realism game I've been wanting to play for a while, now that I've done Skyrim enough to see it all.
Once you get into higher levels and start to legendarify some skills it starts to take longer to level, so some exploitation is needed or grinding. I just started a new character and to grind my smithing and enchanting up to 100 took 12-13 hours and that's focusing on grinding those 2 skills alone AND using the invisible Dawnstart chest as the exploit. Doing that 3-4 times over with the legendary system would be tedious, exploitation helps make that go by quicker.
