Look for a guy called Sam.

He appears randomly in any of the hold cities, so he will never appear in ivarstead. Just chalk all the inns. you have to be level 14 or higher

I am lvl 35 .

I found this woman who teaches archery , She gives you 6 tests and completing each puts you up a lvl in archery regardless of what lvl you are !! . Also , there is an archery skil book in her hut and she gives you a bow afterwards . I went from 78 to lvl 85 archery in no time !!

A tavern. It seems to change which one it is, and I'm not sure of the criteria. I got it at the tavern in Solitude both times I did it, but I've heard others say they got it in Whiterun.

Thanks Monks , I'll head there when I'm on later . I was looking in the Ivarstead Tavern

He will say something about a drinking contest... do it.

And I found Sam in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun.

Find the woman in this camp and keep asking for practice , make sure you use the practice arrows she gives you and talk to her afterwards to get a free bow . Best picture I could find and it is near Falkreath .

Spoiler:

I have now reached lvl 36 with 32 dungeons cleared !!

That seems like not many dungeons for the level. Not sure though

Now , I think about , it really isn't lol . I have been mainly discovering caves in order to come back to them later .

I am at lvl 36 after 35 hours played , how much longer does it take to get to lvl 50 ? , I heard it takes aaagggeeessss

It depends on what level you are when your skills start maxing out. I've got about 100+ hours on my main character, and he is level 52 with most of the skills I use maxed so I don't see him getting much higher

Meh .... I spend time in this game picking flowers , and hunting/hiking around I did the same crap in RDR but Skyrim world is so less repetitive. I level up sometimes doing silly crap smithing,sneaking, archery blah blah blah instead of clearing dungeons. I drank with Sam last night and don't remember much this morning.

you miss understood my post. it doesnt matter how many dungeons youve cleared, so no need for getting defensive like that

Finished College of Winterhold main quests now

I think I am level 20-22 and might have like 4 or 6 dungeons cleared!! lol

I pick plants and food, go around discovering the map and adding places to visit later (I have an obsession for "clearing" the map), I do potions and generally walk, walk and walk. It talk to people, get quests, improve my sneaking and conjure an Atronach as company all the time.

I am trying to do the quests for the College (Mages) but so far I have only visited Whiterun from the main cities and only a couple of little towns... I want this game to last months!!!! I am determined to discover everything, get as much as I can, and do not rush at all. This will be the best £40 my husband has ever spent lol

For early adventurers who want powerful weapons early ,go to the Lost Valkygg dungeon on the exterior of the Labyrinthian ( map in spoiler ) , the loot is fairly average but there are two drauga deathlords , one wields an ebony war axe and the other wields an ebony bow with ebony arrows , with the archer I recommend getting in close , his close combat weapon is just an ancient nord battle axe and he becomes a lot more manageable . If you think you can handle it , these are great , powerful weapons early on .

The Labyrinthian dungeon itself is full of great loot but is part of the College of Winterhold questline . I highly recommend this questline as you go through a couple of nice dungeons with great loot .

Spoiler:

Well I think I am going to reroll, I am very upset about the points I spent, and my guy is only 19 anyway.

I didn't go about the stealth the right way at all, and should have used light armor...

Does anyone know of any online "talent calculators"? I would love to plan out my points ahead of time, this time round.

Going stealth with bows and conjuration is my plan. Basically a thief that can summon the dead
