The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Guide
Last update: 05 December 2019
This page of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim World Atlas includes the list of skill books . You will learn why they are important to develop your character. We have prepared a list of locations of the skill books . This should greatly facilitate finding them.
List of skill books.
There are a lot of skill books hidden in Skyrim, however each book raises only one skill and only by one point. The game will of course inform you about which skill has been increased and it will also count towards progress to the next experience level. Each skill book can increase your skill only once, so once the process is finished it becomes useless to you. It's possible to sell the books, but this is a good idea only at the beginning of the game, because the books weigh a lot and you won't receive tons of gold for them from the merchants.
Important - In order to understand what the numbers from the third and fourth column mean you must consult the World Maps chapter of this guide. Here's an example: [sector 5, number 36] means that you must look at the map of sector 5 and find a location marked with 36. The books have been placed in an alphabetical order of the skill categories and location names.

Skills are the bread and butter of Skyrim , the one thing that truly defines a character. The skills in Skyrim can be roughly divided into three: Mage, Warrior, and Thief . While you can make your own mix of whatever skills you'd best like to use during your adventures, specializing in a certain skill category is always more beneficial in the long run.
In order to progress in your skills , you need to actually practice them. For players who want to train skills and level up faster, there are tons of Skyrim trainers in the mainland, Solstheim, and beyond, all willing to teach what they know in exchange for coin.
Updated January 19, 2024 by Erik Petrovich : Finding all Skyrim skill trainer locations can be tedious, as trainers of various skill ceilings are spread throughout the deeps and reaches of Skyrim (and some are locked behind DLC and questlines). But before worrying about finding all Skyrim skill trainers, it's a good idea to get a feel for what each skill actually contributes to a build. There's no point focusing on Illusion magic if you want to paralyze enemies and transmute items, and there's little use in training Block as a dual-wielding maniac. Each section in this guide to all trainers in Skyrim now includes some examples of what to expect from each skill tree, as well as more distinct groupings for each trainer's location.
There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to using Trainers in Skyrim , especially if you plan to use them to max out a skill as fast as possible. Skills cost increasing amounts of gold to train as players level up, to the point that training one or two Skill Points can cost more than 10,000 gold.
However, this is also when leveling skills is most difficult as there is more XP required to rank up. Try to avoid training your main skills until at least after level 50, and instead use Trainers to level the skills you won't use too often but still come in handy, like Lockpicking or Block.
The world of Skyrim is filled with two-handed weapons. Here's a look are some of the absolute best available and how to get them.
Additionally, there is a limit to the number of times you can train at every level. Players can only use the services of a Trainer five times every level, which carries over across NPCs and skills. This means you can't get five skill-ups for every Skill at every level.
However, leveling up a skill with a Trainer still counts towards overall player level progression. Because of this, leveling up while training skills is a very common occurrence, essentially letting you improve a skill 10 times in a single session if you're close enough to the next player level.

In Morthal, Lami can give you Adept level training.

If you'd like apparitions from other planes to assist you in battle, Conjuration is for you.

Drevis neloren | 0-90 (Master) | College of Winterhold | Must be a member of the College of Winterhold |
Illusion is a school of magic focused on tricking the enemy's mind and senses. Different from Alteration, Illusion is meant to confuse or bewilder targets, not necessarily actually change properties about them. An Illusionist, then, can scare enemies into submission, encourage their allies, and turn themselves "invisible". Only two trainers exist in Skyrim, and are not necessarily easy to access either .
If you're a member of the College of Winterhold, Drevis Neloren can teach you at Master level.
Alternatively, if you have access to Orsimer strongholds, you can speak to Atub at Largashbur for Expert level training.

If speed is your thing and you want to be light on your feet, Light Armor is ideal for you. Improving Light Armor improves one's ability to maneuver in a variety of ways, and its ultimate skill grants the wearer a chance to totally avoid melee attacks with a full set equipped.
Outside of Windhelm, you'll find an Argonian named Scouts-Many-Marshes who can give you Adept level training.
In Riften, Grelka offers Expert level training should you head to the marketplace.
If you're already part of the Dark Brotherhood, you can also seek out Nazir, who'll be happy to train you at Master level.

No doors or chests will remain inaccessible should you invest in Lockpicking. Easy enough to level on its own due to how many locked chests there are in the world, only two trainers exist in all of Skyrim.
Vex from the Thieves Guild will train you at Master level, provided you're a member of the Guild.
If you happen to come across a Khajiit caravan, a Khajiit named Ma'jhad will also offer Expert level training.

If you'd like to overwhelm your enemies with speed, One-Handed is perfect. Two-Handed weapons can overwhelm a foe, but the One-Handed tree is more focused on speed and dextrous attacks, especially for Dual Wielding. This tree increases attack speed, reduces Stamina, and unlocks a few special attacks for One-Handed weapons alone.
In Whiterun, Amren can provide you with Adept level training.
Still in Whiterun, Athis, a member of the Companions, can give you Expert level training.
If you have access to the Orsimer strongholds, you can head over to Dushnik Yal and seek Master level training from Burguk.

Other people's belongings are now yours, through Pickpocketing. A higher Pickpocketing skill gives players a variety of bonuses to the minigame, like outright increased chance to succeed, but also the ability to pickpocket things onto your target, like poisoned apples. But it's risky to practice, and it's also hard to find someone who'll actually train you.
In Windhelm, you can ask Silda the Unseen to train you at Expert level. She'll usually be wandering around Candlehearth Hall.
In the Thieves Guild, Vipir the Fleet will train you at Master level.

Restoration is defensive, healing magic that can support you and your companions in battle. Though Skyrim isn't multiplayer, focusing on Restoration can still be helpful for supporting a group of summons, followers, or other "party" members – including friendly NPCs in scripted events. You can, of course, heal yourself very effectively with this school of magic, too.
For Adept level training, you can either speak to Keeper Carcette in Hall of the Vigilant or Aphia Velothi in Raven Rock if you own the Dragonborn DLC.
At the College, Colette Marence can train you at Expert level.
In Whiterun, Danica Pure-Spring in the Temple of Kynareth will train you at Master level after completing the quest The Blessings of Nature. Additionally, in Fort Dawnguard in the Dawnguard DLC, Florentius Baenius will train you at Master level.

Smithing allows you to create better armor and weapons in a variety of ways. Improving the skill unlocks more smithing options and the ability to make better gear, usually by unlocking a branch of smithing entirely – like Orcish weapons, Ebony armor, Glass gear, and more.
There are four Smithing trainers in all of Skyrim. Ghorza gra-Bagol is Adept level, and found in Markarth.
In Riften, you'll find Balimund, who's Expert level.
In Whiterun, Eorlund Gray-Mane is a Master level trainer for those who are members of the Companions. In Fort Dawnguard in the Dawnguard DLC, Gunmar is another Master level Smithing trainer.
The balance in each mainline Elder Scrolls game typically leans towards easy, but that doesn't mean that each title doesn't have tough moments.

An ideal skill for those who prefer to travel the shadows, Sneak is a staple for thieves. Improving one's ability to Sneak directly improves your ability to stay out of NPCs' sight and alert range, but also unlocks some new moves and th ability to deal extra damage with Sneak Attacks. Later on, high Sneak players can avoid triggering traps and even disappear from combat.
If you happen to catch a Khajiit caravan, try and find a Khajiit known as Khayla, who can train you in Sneaking at Adept level.
In Markarth, seek out Garvey who can give you Expert level training.
Head over to Riften's Ragged Flagon and speak to Delvin Mallory, who can train you at Master level.

Speech is the art of influencing others with your words, which in Skyrim means bartering and passing dialogue checks. By leveling Speech, one improves their ability to sell items for the right value, gains the ability to invest in stores, can sell more thanks to extra money at merchants, and improves your chance to succeed with Persuasion and Intimidation checks. While Speech is easy to level up by bartering with vendors, there are also five trainers in Skyrim to help you.
In Windhelm, Revyn Sadri can train you at Adept level. If you find a Khajiit caravan, seek out a Khajiit named Dro'marash, who can also train you at Adept level.
In Markarth, Ogmund from the Silver-Blood Inn will train you at Expert level, and owners of the Dawnguard DLC can ask Ronthil in Castle Volkihar to train them at Expert level too.

Two-Handed swords are a classic choice for a fighter. While One-Handed weapons are made for fast, rapid attacks, nothing quite compares to the crushing might of a heavy Two-Handed weapon. Leveling this skill will increase damage, cause new effects, and unlock new attacks.
To level up fast, you can find Torbjorn Shatter-Shield in Windhelm who can provide you with Expert level training.
In Whiterun, Vilkar, a member of the Companions, will also train you at Master level.
Owners of the Dawnguard DLC can find Fura Bloodmouth in Castle Volkihar for Master level training and those with the Dragonborn DLC should find Wulf Wild-Blood in Skaal Village for Master level training.

Welcome to /r/SkyrimMods! We are Reddit's primary hub for all things modding, from troubleshooting for beginners to creation of mods by experts. We ask that you please take a minute to read through the rules and check out the resources provided before creating a post, especially if you are new here. :)
Thought I would give a shoutout for this great small mod, as it's definitely hard to find. This is an alternate file for the author's original attempt to achieve the same functionality titled The Eloquent Reader. The original Eloquent Reader mod required a bunch of compatibility patches for any mod that added new books and the author stopped work on it in 2014, but in 2015 started up again with a new method utilizing SKSE scripts that requires no compatibility patches and works with any mod-added books. The new mod, titled True Scholar, simply compares your books read stat against the number of books loaded into the game, granting XP if the number increases when reading. I've been playing with it in my game for the past week and it works perfectly. If you read a new book a HUD message pops up saying "You feel enlightened by this text" and if you've already read the book it changes to "You have learned everything you can from this text". Works with The Choice is Yours' feature of delaying quest books from automatically adding quests, picked up Lost Legends yesterday and I got the TCiY message box to delay the quest as well as the notification that I had received XP. The only gripes I have is that I'm gaining XP from non-radiant notes as well (such as the quest starting note from Moon and Star, but that's a soft compatibility issue), and that I cannot edit how much XP is granted from reading books in-game (though it's trivial to do so via TESVEdit).
You can find True Scholar listed under the downloads tab for The Eloquent Reader here . The author only has it listed as a demo version because he was planning on adding new features, the mod is stable and works perfectly in it's current state.
