Why didn't I use console commands? They only work on PC.
Disclaimer, for the people playing on older generations where all DLC are not included. In order for the dupe to work Dawnguard is required. I don't think Hearthfire or Dragonborn needed.
Does this same method work on PS4?
@@logankirchhof6148 Yes, as long as you have Dawnguard installed. But all the DLC's come pre-installed on PS4.
Just behind dragons reach in the world is a gold vain
Lmfao can you dublicate those pods used to make those spiders ? Just think how many you could have ... plus summons. I once had me / serana / lydia / barbose the dog / my horse / 2 sommoned deadra and 5 flame clock spiders. I could group heal them all. So truley I was a healer in the game. All my friends with custom weapons and the spiders alone just wasted everything lol I had a group of people with me at all times it was fun. Got rid of the dog in the end ... tired of his barking non stop lol
@savagex466-qt1io yes you can duplicate the pods it's just unique items that are either impossible to duplicate or it can be very hard to dupe them.
I have like 1600 hrs combined across all consoles and I’m still watching Skyrim tutorials
Me too, I just finished up my sneak tutorial. I plan on having it rendered and timestamped in a few hours
@@ShorkWasTaken good shit brotha
Same here
Then those 1600 hrs for sure weren't spent playing, more like half of it left your game on 😅 cuz im only 300 hours in and know way too much.
definitely don’t feel too bad, I have about 10,000 hours spread across all my consoles from modded Playthru‘s to legendary survival gauntlet runs , Still happy to watch a tutorial
Breaking news: dragon attacks helgen, survivor suddenly becomes the worlds best blacksmith within the hour.
That and more tonight on the Nordic News Network.
NNN lol
Sounds like a great start to an isekai ngl..
A 13 year old game still has me coming back looking at tutorials at age 34 years old 😬. Skyrim is hands down the best game I’ve ever played
I just now got my smithing to 101 lol. Gonna go for legendary
Never too old to play games man. enjoy
@@devineubanks5692i feel exactly the same, except i am 32
I'm 67 and have been playing since day one, 11/11/2011. I'll probably be dead before they release ES6.
same. started playing again this week.
For who wants to know, it was used 230 materials to get to 100.
And the Well Rested bonus sleeping at the inn it would’ve brought the number down to 213. If he picked up the skill book located at the Skyforge and the two located and silent moons camp it would’ve knocked another 17 off bringing the total down to 196. That’s one less duplication cycle (at intervals of 30) that can be eliminated since that cutoff is at 210. If you only drop 20 at a time, it should be noted that it will lead to more cycles overall (calculating for 196 means 7 cycles for 30 items and 10 cycles for 20), but it saves the pain of dropping 30 of each item at once and telling the follower to pick up 50% more items each cycle in comparison.
my brain got fried reading that
@@Paarthurnax. Translation: "If you get the EXP boost from sleeping at an inn, you would only use 213 materials instead of 30. If you read the skill books located at the Skyforge and Silent Moons Camp, it would immediately upped your skill, reducing the Smithing EXP needed to level up. This means you only need 196. That reduces the number reloading you have to do in order to duplicate the items by 1, since every reload you get 30 items if you did as the video. You can get 180 or 210 as they are divisible by 30.
Instead you can only drop 20 items, meaning you only duplicate 20 per reload and this means the amount of reloads you need will increase. However since you will only be dropping 20 items one by one, this might end up being faster anyways."
As a vampire: I can’t sleep well 🤣
Imagine chilling and then randomly being beaten to death by a random naked dude running around like he's insane lol
The reason the chicken punching teleport didnt work is that you have to get arrested from punching the chicken, but there are no guards in riverwood till you go to whiterun and tell the jarl to send them there.
I forgot about that part.
For anyone looking for a fast, exploit free method.
The single best thing you can do to gain xp is to UPGRADE items. It may not seem so at first, but that because, like anything, the xp rewarded scales with how much of an upgrade the item is.
There’s an exhaustive amount of ways to increase your smithing, but stack all the cards in your favor and you get some absolutely nasty amounts of xp.
Use the typical dwarven bow method, but instead of just making a million bows like a bot, make 10 or so. Drink your smithing potion, wear your smithing gear, and use any other buffs you have access to, and then upgrade them all the way to 100
If your setup is good enough, every upgrade will level you up by 1-2 levels until you’re in the 80s or 90s.
If you’ve the ebony to spare, ebony bows obviously reward much more xp than dwarven, but it’s not really necessary to hit 100 quickly.
Yep, craft the best armor you can (i.e. orcish plate) and upgrade it. Eventually, the armor will pay for itself as the upgrade will increase the value of the armor enough to pay for the materials.
@@liberphilosophus7481 yeah armors probably better tbh, I’m just a bow guy.
@@pixelmaster9964 I pick the one with the highest gold value per material cost, which happens to be plate armors for the most part.
The way I level all my skills end game is by crafting and upgrading things and then selling them and buying ingots. Stopped around 150k gold so I just buy skills from the master traders.
Making ebony bows gives a ridiculous amount of Xp for not needing anything other than ebony
Guaranteed gold ingots in a little crate inside a cart in kolskeggr mine, very close to where you get the flawless diamond. Great vid BTW!
Came here to say the same thing. If I ever need gold I go to Kolskeggr.
Also guaranteed gold ingot in jarls room in markarth keep, no fight or adventure needed. Key to room available in servents room off to the right of the jarls seat
@@matthewjackson1810also,also in the halted stream camp there is an iron ore and silver ore on the very same table you get the spell from. E.g. one gold bar
"Okay, got it. Okay, got it. Okay, got it" 😂
You don't actually need to fast travel away from the city, you can just fast travel to Whiterun from inside the city and the dupe will still work, just saves an extra loading screen
This didn't work for me just now I have to walk out the doors then back in that seems quickest I think
Turns out you do need to travel to a different location for this to work, I tested it today
If you are on pc a quicker way to drop one item from a stack is to press the home key (near the end key) when the list is open. It will change the drop slider to 1.
So the key order is: R, Home, E, R, Home, E, etc.
makes this go way faster
Edit: Sholtonbolton told me that left bumper also functions this way for console
Or just console smithing to 100.
Achieves the same thing, and avoids doing dumbass exploits that eat into your ever shortening life.
@@mikeity2009 lol. Good point. It feels slightly more earned this way. I usually use iron ore converted to gold rings to get smithing to 30. Then make a ton of dwarven bows to finish leveling smithing
I have played Skyrim for over ten years, I am over the smithing grind, and just the entire method of leveling up in general . I now put all skills at 100 from the get go through a bat file on a new game and start at level 60 to fight all the best enemies at the start. But to make it a little more challenging I disable perk points at level up with Skyrim uncapper and add mods that give perk points through trials. My favorite is Unslaad. You get the repeatable quest where you fight the strong intruder on the bridge, and you get a frozen dragon soul as a reward if you beat it, then you have the half dragon girl convert it to a perk point.
@@mikeity2009Console friendly tactic?
@@mikeity2009lolol
It’s the people with the least views that make the best videos. I haven’t seen a guide that uses this method. This video definitely needs more popularity
TBF most people aren't interested in duping methods.

I'm 60 and bought Skyrim for my boys......I've spent years playing this game. Always modding.
At least it aint raining.
Love this style of Skyrim guide
There was a guy who did really good guides like this for stuff back when the game first came out, and since then I always thought this was the best way to show how to do things in skyrim.
Good stuff
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I plan on making more guides for all skill trees, both exploitative and non exploitive.
@@ShorkWasTaken I would be incredibly interested in this, as I learned in this video that smithing exp has been changed lol. There is no telling what has been updated that I was just completely unaware of

@@noctemaeternam8376 glad to help and inspire you.
It's been so many years and I'm still in love with skyrim tutorials. This is good stuff man. Keep it up 👌
just something i learned awhile ago if you power swing a pickaxe it will launch you forward making traversal faster when over encumbered
That works for any weapon with a forward moving power attack. If you sheath the weapon before the attack is finished you don't use any stamina and you keep an extra few feet aswell.
I’ve always just done the dupe trick by dropping right in front of the Whiterun gate, having follower pick up, leaving Whiterun through the front gate and then immediately turning around to come back in. Works the same for me and I don’t have to go to that corner each time. Not sure if I’m missing a potential issue with my method but figured I’d mention it.
No that works to, I just use that corner since no npc's walk by and won't get moved by them. I also use the dragonsreach bridge since the only movement required would by looking around.
You’re my hero! Just started replaying Skyrim and had no remote clue how to level smithing quickly. Subscribed!
I tried this today on my ps5, and it took me a few hours, but it totally worked! Only problem I had was that I wasn’t getting enough levels to choose all the stars in the smithing constellation. So I’m having to level up other stuff too in order to complete the constellation. But it’s such a good hack and makes you hella rich to boot! Thanks so much!!
Just a pro-tip to accelerate your speedrun, take Faendal and you can clean out his house for a *huge* pile of weapons and loot which you can proceed to use/sell. Guaranteed weapons, armor, herbs, food, more than you'd get by visiting Sven and Hilde's house. Also, taking a few minutes to talk to either Alvor or Gerdur is another opportunity to pick up more free stuff to hasten your trip to smithing mastery.
Dude after all the tutorials i have seen and never felt like attempting the duplication glitch you made it seem do able and efficient
I had been playing Skyrim on Xbox 360 for 8 years just got a new Xbox in over a decade this video was truly needed thank youuu ❤️
for those that dislike doing glitches, the best way to do it is by leveling up enchantment fist by crafting daggers and enchanting then with banish, they aren't nearly as valuable but the sheer amount of then that you need to to enchant to get to level 100 is enought to get you to 70 ish levels in smithing
after that, try getting all smithing buffs you can get to exp and craft dwarven bows and upgrade then, if you leveled up alchemy (really easy if you have a home and farm Creep Cluster + Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiota) you can add a potion of smithing to the mix to make the price of your crafts skyrocket. This method isn't nearlly as fast but is more efficienty if you are going to level up enchanting anyway so 2 stones one bird + doesn't uses any glitchs
Exactly this. Glitching or cheats has never been my thing. I like to play RPGs like this as if I'm actually in this world living this adventure. Cutting corners like this would break the hell out of immersion for me. And frankly, as you said, smart players already know how to level up skills massively and quickly without resorting to exploits.
Super cool explained everything I’m like a game from 1983. My dad worked for a company as a programmer back then ran with it make some money but couldn’t keep up with the kids. Love you guys.
i was skeptical at first and was ready for a clickbait end but boy i was wrong, haha. very well done. ♥
I didn’t even know smithing xp was dependent on item value. I’ve been trying to max out my smithing for days. Thank you for this. I’m level 57, with more than 100,000 gold, so I have a lot of resources saved up, what I don’t have I can duplicate or buy so this won’t take me long at all. ^^
I would love to see this style video for other skills! super entertaining and I think I'm gonna actually put this into use for the next 50 or so levels i have to go to max out smithing on my character
I greatly appreciate the feedback. I'm working on more and finding different ways for each one right now.
@@ShorkWasTakendoes this work on PS5?
Don't mind about the mic man, the content is amazing. Throughout my over a thousand hours of skyrim i've never f***ing thought of duplicating the fucking thing, i've keept searching fore Iron Ores and doing it the dumb way. Thanks a lot!
You can do this to the Abecean Longfin, easy to find nearby the standing stones, and idk, 2 hours of gameplay you can master Speech / Alchemy / Smithing
Already got the restoration loop video and demonstrate the smithing in it.
good content! thank you for sharing this. I’ve been slaving away paying Kodlak tens of thousands of septims to pump my smithing up
I have another video of how to take kodlaks stuff for free. It's called the skyforge chest.
Really cool video man. Very efficient, well done, organized and with actual cool commentary. Nice job.
I knew about this method to level up smithing but you have a much more faster method so I'll definitely be using this one thank you
wow this is a really good video and i’m definitely going to try this out. keep up the amazing work!
Great strategy, i usually avoid glitches but it's good to know that diamond location
This takes me back and I love it! Small optimization, while over-encumbered, you can draw an arrow and hold it. Your movement is slightly faster than the encumbered slow walk. Also power attack over and over again to charge forward
Brrrooooooo GREAT edit for one of your firsts. Thanks for the info! Your commentary was excellent too - maintained interest in the gameplay.
Fevvy has a video on a Golden Warrior, and I remember seeing a location in his video of a guaranteed golden ingot drop, in case you're interested.
Again, thank you, and GREAT WORK!!
That’s interesting. The method I’ve always used was the alchemy resto loop.
Disenchant fortify smithing and fortify alchemy. Do the loop until my potions created are like 300k+% stronger. Then create an enchanting potion. Enchant a ring with smithing, enchant a necklace with alchemy.
Create something out of iron or leather improve it while wearing the ring smithing 100 instantly, sell the item and you’ll get speech 100, with the alchemy loop you’ll get alchemy 100. If you don’t feel like having a broken game, sell the ring and necklace you made.
It takes about 30-45 minutes pending your merchant rng. This method is good for if you need levels to get perks or to travel to solstheim early as hell
On a side note: to the people that said “Or just use console commands🤓” Bruh.. obviously, we’d all fucking use console commands if we had a PC. Not all of us have one or can afford one. Nobody wants to mindlessly kill an hour of their playtime just dropping shit on the ground. We don’t get off on dropping items on the floor and fast traveling. But sometimes you really just gotta work with what you got
I just finished the restoration loop video last night. Just doing time stamps and description right now. The only reason I didn't use the restoration loop glitch for it is because it's a bit longer to set up than this., but I do show in the video you can max out smithing with just an iron dagger and iron ingot. Along with one potion for alchemy and one potion for speech.
Damn i mean the duping really kills the joy for me but it's impressive none the less.
Keep up the videos good work!
I know the feeling, but it's a massive time saver. I plan on making a video on the future of how to max out smithing without any exploits.
great video tbh shows exactly what to do and doesn’t speed up anything so you know how to do everything step by step unlike the other videos i see
You sir, are a legend! Thank you so much for this video 🙏 it's very quick, efficient and you show us the whole clip and don't cut it :) You've earned a sub and a like and i hope your views and subs will rise alot in the next months/years because you deserve it man!
This guide is by far the best that I've seen.
Little gripe that I had was that you didn't mention the free bed + well rested bonus to accelerate the actual leveling by another 10%.
Also, you forgot to mention that you started as a race with a proficiency in smithing (starting at 20 instead of 15). However, that would have only been an extra 5 sets of materials or so.
This guide is amazing though, keep up the great work.
I didn't include it just because as you said it would only be a max difference of 10 necklaces
Will this work on console? And if so, do you need anniversary addition?
It does work on console. You just need the Dawnguard dlc for the dupe to work. But if your playing on last Gen ps4/xbox1 the game come pre-installed with all the dlc.
@@ShorkWasTaken alright thanks.
This is just fantastic!!! No BS no misleading dialogue. And you sound like coach Belichick!
"Okay, got it". Excellent video dude. Straight to the point. Appreciated. God loves you
*Aw, it's a glitch. You had me until then :/*
I don’t think you can open the console and cheat that way on console, so it’s useful if you play on switch and just want to start with 100 smithing I guess. It is a single player game so if you want to chest who cares.
What did u expect??😂
I love this game bro. Been playing it since I was 16 & I’m 24 now. It’s amazing how much stuff there is to do
Great video man!!! Love the longer format
My first skyrim character was on the 360 and I knew so many "secret "stuff. After all these years Im playing again and Im glad that people still do tutorials
Thanks mate. Just started a replay after 10 years and 800 plus hours, this us a good start
I started this at level 8. Went to Kolskeggr Mine first to mine gold which was actually close to the abandoned boat. Thank you 😊
That was neat lol. I need to level smithing on my legendary survival playthrough that I'm attempting due to horrible damage. This video will definitely help, thanks :D
For reference, the Smithing XP formula for making items is (XP = 3 x (value)^0.65 + 25). That flat +25 is why in the early game without using exploits or Transmute, iron daggers are often best, as making 5 iron daggers gives 192 XP, compared to making an iron armor which uses the same amount of materials but only gives 94.2 XP. As you show in the video, however, Transmute Mineral Ore gives you easy access to gold from iron, and with just gold rings without jewels you can go from 38.4 XP/ore with iron daggers to 51.5XP/ore. The gold diamond necklace is one of the best at 163XP/ore, but flawless diamonds are rare and don't show up outside of guaranteed locations like the one you showed until the player reaches level 40.
Using this I was able to buy Proudspire Manor in a couple hours. Thanks a bunch!
Tysm I always thought making rings was the fastest but this is much faster 👍
Awesome tutorial I will use it in my next playthrough. Levelling smithing is one of the boring skills to level.
Thanks for the video bro🤍
Nice video I've gone through alot of these and this is the best I've found NJ !
Thank you so much for this!
I've been trying to get all the trophies on my PS4, and am was level 47, still trying to get level 100 smithing (I was at 73) to make the dragon armor of course, but every tutorial I've looked at was the stupid yellow mountain flower potion glitch, and I didn't feel like spending all those hours and resources into it-
But 99 necklaces later, I was there in *no* time! I'm so glad this came up on my fyp!
(And it got me to level 50 which is one of the trophies!!)
Anyways- I'm subscribed now!
Happy top help. The yellow mountain flower glitch, I just made a better and easy to digest method. It's definitely a help exploit to do for levels. One of your trophies will also be to kill a legendary dragon and they don't show up until level 70. Side note I have the platinum and all side trophies for the PS3, 4, and 5 version.
I like the No BS way you do this. And it's all in real time.
I tried this on pc right after watching, with Lydia. It 100% workssss. Just gotta say Thannk you man!
Ty, Ty, Ty....the Home Key trick is also very useful when selling 1 item at a time to boost Speech. So much better than using the slide bar.
thanks mate. excellent video and explanation!
extremely shocked me to see you had anything less than 20k subs. wish you well on your journey.
The quality has already has a noticeable increase since this video
Great moves, keep it up, proud of you
This was brilliant, thank you!
this is the most skyrim thing ive ever seen. i hope you see this comment bc im french and even tho my English is really bad ive been able to understand everything. people from around the world like what you do ! :)
Glad to help
to carry a massive amount of a single item without having the over burden debuff, just drop them all on the ground in one group and they will drop as a single item with a label on it that says how many the item counts as (itll say "gold ingot (300)" or something along those lines) you can then >>hold
Thank you for this wonderful method!
Recently started replaying Skyrim because I have yet to play the Dragonborn DLC. I completely forgot about Halted Stream camp. Thanks bruv.
I started playing Skyrim again last year and I’m now addicted.
Dude thank u for ur videos! U inspire me
If you only need one bar of gold to do that, you can simply buy a pickaxe with adriani avennici, and go to the east side of whiterun... there's a gold ore vein there... you can pick it up and return to whiterun, it's faster than go to the halted stream camp (and you don't need to fight against no one for that)
Got to say, its defo the most efficient ive seen by a long shot, would be good to see how quick you could do it without duplicating or using ingame glitches/bugs. That would be a video id defo watch as well
It would probably take around 2 hours with bugs. That's with your ONLY focus being to max out smithing and nothing else
If clicking gets tedious while mass crafting, you can alternate between mashing Enter (to craft the highlighted item) and Y on the keyboard (for Yes on the "Are you sure you want to craft this?" popup) and that should do it too. I think this works on the vanilla UI, but the last I tried this on was Sky UI, which I know for sure it works on.
One thing that makes the Halted Stream Camp easier: the last room has a lantern hanging from the ceiling that is visible from the entryway; you can shoot it down to ignite the oil on the lower floor, and that will probably kill the bandits down there (who aren't the leader).
and depending on difficulty
i’ve done this many times and still watched this video 😂 pro tip save the amulets for enchanting
thx for the video bud i was trying to fine another way to lvl up then the iron daguer and the gold ring!!
Keep up your efforts brother. Hope you're loving the PC. I'd be so broken mentally without mine haha.
Comment 2; On the other hand, there are so many and I watched so many " how to" videos for Skyrim. That i cannot remember most of them . Luckily just playing and grinding a little is enough to enjoy and beat the game on anything lower than Master.
Wow, this is cool. I might try this myself now!
Good vid.
I usually just do Dwarven bows to level smithing.
Im kinda new to Skyrim I don’t know all the in’s and outs yet I’ve completed the main dragon born quest but this stuff is so cool to watch
thank you for this guide man! ill def try this!
Happy to help. I plan on making more for every skill
I would also recommend yoinking a grand sould gem from the khajit chest on the way to get the flawless diamond and duping that too, that way you can enchant every necklace and get enchanting to 100 after smithing!
With the crafting menu, I think you can confirm "yes" to the "do you want to create this item" by hitting Y such that you just need to tap: Enter, Y, Enter, Y... etc
Really good video definitely gonna use this ty
Faster way to craft is when clicking to confirm craft, pressing Y on your keyboard will confirm the craft. This should make it a bit faster. Great video, i will definitely make use of this whenever I restart skyrim for the 10th time with mods
"i need to collect my train of thought" just gave me the mental image of someone trying to carry too many Thomas the Tank Engines at once and a couple keep falling
This is awesome. This is a really good tutorial
Thanks for the vid, the not picking and dropping so much really made it efficient for me, now i just need to add soul gem, Canis root/imp stool yeah master Maker within Hour maybe? Even the droppem get em to pick up n leave ‘em for later makes me wanna start again real quick to try.
I actually did a similar thing before the patches that changed the xp values, though without the duping, for the immersion. I would carefully sneak in through the spike trap and fight the dungeon in reverse, get the book, then mine all the iron in the dungeon, buy it from merchants, etc, to make tons of jewelry.
Thanks this was super helpful to me
Nice exploit and thanks for sharing 👍😊
I just wanna mention that a decent way to make some gold in the beginning of the game, is to side with the stormcloaks at Helgen and then loot and sell all the body armor of the imperial soldiers that you kill while escaping helgen. On your way to Riverwood, before reaching the Standing Stones, if you take a left for a little bit on the road, you will find a bandit camp with some decent early game loot and also a treasure map for a treasure on the other side of the river in Riverwood 👍😊
Nice! Keep up the good work fam!
The video was awesome I learned so much ty bud
This was very useful Thank you!
This is a good way to do it if you don’t care about level scaling. I just keep all that iron ore you ignored in the mine and transmute it all into gold while traveling. Then, when I reach a town with a forge, I make the ingots and craft a handful of gold rings. It doesnt use any dupe exploits and it doesn’t scale your crafting skills higher than your combat skills, so you’ll more than likely be able to deal with what’s coming at you. As long as you don’t purposely go to a high difficulty quest, of course.
My favourite grinding method for smithing is still Dwarven Bows as you can do it more naturally over the course of your game.
The Mzult Storeroom, Nchuand'Zel and Calcelmo's Museum is usually enough to get most characters up to the Arcane Blacksmith perk. All of these areas are relatively easy to complete early in a playthrough.
Simply bring a follower and load up on every smeltable piece of dwarven metal ignoring pretty much all other loot which is generally never that good anyway.
Then after that make a habit of only taking the metal from Dwarven ruins (exceptions for unique items of course) and over the course of a playthrough you should hit 100 no problem. Most major quest chains have at least one dwarven ruin in them.
I also like having an excessive amount of bows as it will help with levelling Enchanting later on.
I've found Banish to be a really effecting enchantment to spam onto items for whatever reason.
25:27 "Can i use the enter button? Nope" correct! however, you can use the "Y" key for yes. usually speeds it up a little for me anyway.
The only thing I would have done different, would be to buy a pickaxe, or get one from Embershard, and mine the gold vein outside Whiterun, above Battle-Born farm towards Whitewatch Tower. Saves you going to Halted Stream Camp, and less combat.
Haven't seen that type of dupe before. Will have to try it.
nice tbh i never knew the dupe glitch thats pretty cool, thank you very informative
