Level 81 is just as (relatively) easy to reach as Level 11, it just requires more total experience. This means you can either raise 5 skills to level 20, one skill to level 21 (assuming it starts at 15), or any other permutation thereof.Īlso, and this is important: There is no soft cap For instance, to level from level 1 to level 2, you require 100 experience. Leveling a skill to X will give you X experience towards your next level. 'Experience' in this case is earned strictly through skill ups. There is a linearly constant amount of 'experience' required for each level. Level 81 is the maximum level in Skyrim without making any skill Legendary It is possible to repeatedly make a skill legendary or to make multiple skills legendary, this allows you to (slowly) unlock all perk points. You can continue to level up and earn extra skill perks.Difficulty increase, since the enemies don't have their skills reduced.Be warned: You lose all the benefits of having a higher skill level! The advantages of making skills legendary are: This resets the skill to 15, gives all perk points invested in that specific tree back. If you have a skill at 100 you can make it 'Legendary'.
Since patch 1.9 there is no maximum level anymore.
