Skyrim Tip #65 Safe Chests

 None of the Thieves Guild Chests in the Thieves Guild respawn, so all of them are safe to store things in.

Skyrim Tip #64 Shock Magic (And Hawks)

The quickest way to kill a hawk is with magic, especially lightning magic (which jumps to nearby targets if you miss).

Skyrim Tip #63 Atronach Souls

Storm atronachs can have their souls captured. They have greater souls.

Skyrim Tip #62 Leveling Illusion

   If you want to level up your Illusion skill quickly, it’s pretty effective to just cast muffle or illusion repeatedly while you’re walking around.

Skyrim Tip #61 Leveling Smithing

If you’re leveling up your Smithing skill by crafting Iron Daggers, then you’re wasting your materials. Smithing levels by the value of the item created, so it’s far more effective to craft the most valuable items (with the least amount of materials). This means crafting armor, bows, and jewelry.
