In this video tutorial see how to level up the Archery (Marksman) skill fairly quickly with a four stage method i developed. Most of the time is put in the setup. The actual leveling is really fast because it's mostly just training. This requires holding off on picking up the five Archery skill books, keeping one or two other skills at a low level (Illusion, Sneak, Speech) so that they level up simultaneously, access to High Hrothgar (via starting the main quest "The Way Of The Voice"), access to the Ragged Flagon--Cistern (Via starting Thieves Guild quest "Loud And Clear), a decent bow (Nothing OP and no Fortify Marksman enchantments/potions. These will not help whatsoever.) Get the Thief Stone blessing (should be Warrior Stone but was mis-assigned in the coding), Sleep in a bed to get Well Rested (Optional), Get Journeyman Faendal as a follower from Riverwood and bring him along to High Hrothgar, get a decent amount of Gold up (4-6,000), get the Muffle spell tome (the Blue Palace Chest makes this easy) and some form of Paralysis (Staff of Paralysis.) Now wait for the Greybeards to enter the High Hrothgar entrance room to meditate, go in the corner near the steps, crouch into sneak mode and begin shooting the Greybeard with arrows. (Watch the health bar of the Greybeard and wait 1 hr when it gets low.) This will level up Archery and Sneak pretty fast. Once there's an overall level up, choose the leveling (Health, Magicka, Stamina) and then get five trainings from Faendal. Trade with him to take the gold back. Keep doing this (occasionally unlocking the Archery perks) until Level 50. This is where it normally gets slower so instead of doing Archery just level up another skill. So with the Muffle spell head to the Ragged Flagon Cistern. Start leveling up the Illusion Skill by casting Muffle with both hands alternating. This takes seconds to get to an overall level up. Now begin training with Master Archer Niruin. If it begins getting too costly simply zap him with the Paralyze effect (the Staff Of Paralysis works great) and when he begins getting up pick the gold from him. Repeat this until level 90 is reached. That's when his training is maxed. This should only take maybe 10 minutes. Now go find four of the five skill books. The goal is Archery skill level 94. So get a skill book at Fletcher, The Drunken Huntsman, Bards College, Jorrvaskr LIving Quarters and/or Autumnshade Clearing. (In the event that you no longer have the skill books to use then head back to High Hrothgar and spend more time hitting the greybeards with sneak shots. This is going to add an additional 15-20 minutes to level up four times.) Finally head to Angi's Camp (follow the Southwest path up the mountain from Ancestor Glade.) Talk to Angi, get the Practice Arrows and complete her four challenges of speed, composure and precision. (Start hitting the targets before the countdown for the speed trials.) Thank her to receive Angi's Bow and enjoy the final 6 skill points that bring the skill to 100!
