COMBAT For even the most skilled adventurer, Skyrim is a dangerous place. Learning the basics of battle is essential to your survival. ONE-HANDED AND TWO-HANDED WEAPONS Certain weapons like daggers, swords, maces, and war axes, are one-handed weapons, and can be used with a shield or dual wielded. Other weapons, like battleaxes, greatswords and warhammers require two hands and cannot be used with a shield or dual wielded. Two-handed weapons are slower, but do more damage.

A LCHEMY ENCHA NTING Alchemy ingredients can be found all over Skyrim. Potions and poisons are created by mixing ingredients together that share a common effect at Alchemy Workbenches. Potions are consumed by your character to grant positive effects, while poisons are applied to your weapons to add additional poison damage. Enchanting is the art of applying magic effects to armor and weapons.
SMITHING SMELTING, TANNING AND COOKING SMELTING Raw ore can be found throughout the world, primarily in mines. At a smelter, you can smelt this ore into metal ingots, which are needed to forge weapons and armor. Use forges to create new weapons and armor.
