About this mod

Why
I have been using Experience and Static Skill Leveling for awhile now, and while the combo is great as it removes the awful grind some skills have by letting you freely level, I was never quite satisfied with Experience. For the longest time I couldn't put my finger on what it was about the mod I disliked, but then it occurred to me when talking to someone that the issue with Experience is that while it does reward the player for doing quests and exploring the world, it also rewards the player for not fighting stuff.
So I searched and searched for answers and downloaded Forn's Arkays Commandment list, and realized the leveling mechanic was actually very very good. So I decided to make it as a standalone.
How it Works
"Potion of Insight (Regular)" grant 10 skill points that can be used up until level 50 in a skill.
"Potion of Insight (Greater)" grant 10 greater skill points that can be used on all skills, but are the only way to level skills past 50.
"Diluted Potion of Insight (Regular)" grant 1 skill point that can be used up until level 50 in a skill.
"Diluted Potion of Insight (Greater)" grant 1 greater skill point that can be used on all skills, but are the only way to level skills past 50.
By default the ratio for skill ups go like this:
(Skill Point : Skill Increases)
10:1 from skill level 0-25
20:1 from skill level 26-50
30:1 from skill level 51-75
40:1 from skill level 76-100
How do I get these Potions and Use them?
Potions of Insight are leveled loot and will show up in chests, containers, and as some radiant/favor quest rewards.
Diluted Potions of Insight can be found as random drops on NPCs slain by the player.
In order to use the potions to level skills, use the Increase Skills power in the magic menu.
Requirements
- Skyrim
- Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) if you want some NPCs to drop potions of insight.
Compatibility
This mod edits a lot of leveled lists and container records in order to inject the potions into the game world. I avoided directly editing NPC records and Quest records to reduce compatibility problems. While the absence of Potions of Insights in quest rewards will impact the amount you will likely be getting, I upped the amount in leveled lists a bit so it should even out.
I think a bashed patch will probably fix the loot lists, idk I don't use WyreBash. You can also manually patch it if you know what you're doing.
This mod does not stop the player from leveling up skills via usage, unfortunately there wasn't a way I could implement this without massive compatibility issues, so instead you will need to use a mod like Skyrim Skill Uncapper or manually set the skill gains to 0 on each perk tree in xEdit (if you know how to do that).
Patches are provided for:
- Hand to Hand - An Adamant Addon
- Open World Loot - Encounter Zone and Loot Overhaul
- Vicn's Trilogy (Vigilant, Glenmoril, and Unslaad) - This patch is done via SPID to give the bosses guaranteed Greater drops.
