Secrets

  1. Infinite Arrows

    If you pickpocket someone who shoots target dummies with arrows and take whatever arrows they were using (usually iron or steel) and give them 1 of the arrow type you want infinite of, they will shoot that type of arrow instead. Just collect them as they hit the dummy and you can build up a nice stockpile.

Glitches

  1. Free Archery Skill

    Visit Faendal at riverwood, he's a wood elf that usually stands by the mill. 1) Ask him to follow you.
    2) Then ask him to train your archery. (Have some gold around at least to make your first purchase of training)
    3) Ask to borrow something and take his gold. It's not considered stealing.
    4) Repeat 2 and 3 infinity times.
    NOTE: You can only level archery 5 times per level, but you level up slightly every time your archery skill goes up.
    NOTE: This will work with any trainer who can also be a follower.
  2. Restock any merchant instantly.

    Follow the steps to instantly refresh the merchant's stock and gold: 1) Choose a merchant 2) Sell or buy anything 3) Save your game 4) Kill the merchant 5) Load the game
  3. Armor Duplication

    Using the armor stand in your house in Solitude, place any piece of apparel on the mannequin then immediately take it back before exiting the menu. Leave your house and then go back in, the armor should appear on the mannequin and will still be in your inventory.
  4. Use the sneak roll without the perk

    To do this activate sneak mode and hold the sprint button, then double tap the ready/sheath button while moving forward to execute to forward roll. If you do this while moving sideways, you instead do a hop in that direction.
