Float in air: Jump off a cliff, house, or other high place. Save
the game while you are in the air. Reload the game and you will
be floating. If you move, you will fall.

Floating items: Stack a group of items and remove the bottom ones.
The top ones will float in mid-air. They will remain suspended
in mid-air until you take them down.

Dying on water: Make a walk on water spell, lasting as long as desired.
Go to the top of a high building. Use the spell, then jump off
onto the water. If you land on the water you should die, if the
building is high enough.

Make sure you have Waterwalk and are able to cast it. Go in water
so that you are half in and half out. Equip the spell and use
it. You should die instantly.

Everlasting Bound Armor: Note: This trick does not work with beast races. Go
to the trader in Caldera. Buy the Enchanted Helmet from him for
1700 septims. Equip the spell it has of Bound Armor, then drop
the bound armor. Wait for the effect to wear off, then immediately
pick it up. You can only drop the Bound Armor from this item.

Unlimited Spell effects: If you want a spell effect to last forever (unlimited
bound weapons, untimed summons, etc.), you can create them. Create
a spell that mixes the desired spell effect with a Soul Trap effect.
Aim the spell straight down at the ground to get an unlimited
spell effect. Note: You have to own a spell that has the desired
effect before you can use that effect in enchanting or spell making.
Magic effects that cancel themselves for any reason other than
time will cancel for the same reason (for example, invisibility
or a summoned creature dying). Do not use spell effects that you
will want to cancel later (for example, unlimited water walking).

Unlimited alchemy items: To obtain any number of any alchemy apparatus desired
(for example, mortar and pestle, retort, alembic, or calcinator),
you first need to have more than one of the same apparatus you
want more of. Go to your inventory and equip the apparatus you
wish to duplicate. In the alchemy screen, press A (select)
on the apparatus you are duplicating, press A on the blank
space, and equip the apparatus again. You should notice that there
is a larger number on apparatus. Then, press back and go to your
inventory. You will notice that the number on the apparatus is
still the same. Do not worry about this. Go to any merchant and
select "Barter." When the merchant's inventory appears,
press Back. Go to your inventory and you should see that
you have duplicated the apparatus. This is very useful for getting
a large amount of money early on in the game. In Balmora, speak
with Nalcarya of White Haven (fine alchemist) and buy an alchemy
apparatus (calcinator recommended, as it is the cheapest). After
purchasing the apparatus, exit out of the conversation box. Talk
to her again and she should have a replenished supply of the alchemy
apparatus you purchased. Purchase another one, then duplicate
them as many times as needed. She has 3,000 gold so you can make
a very large amount of money off of her by using this trick.

Travel to Balmora and go to the magic shop called "White
Haven". There should be one guard in there, and a dark elf
woman. Try this trick with the Master's Mortar and Pestle. You
must have at least two Master's Mortar and Pestle. Go into your
inventory and equip the two Master's Mortar and Pestle. When the
potion mixing screen appears, select the Master's Mortar and Pestle
again. Then, select the blank square that it was just in, and
equip it again. Notice that when you are equiping it again, the
amount of the Master's Mortar and Pestle is higher. Go into the
dark elf woman's inventory to buy things, and go into your inventory
to sell. However do not sell. You will notice that in your inventory
screen, the amount is not higher. Do not worry about this. Just
go out of her inventory screen and go back in. Then, look at your
inventory. You should see the amount is now higher. Keep doing
this for more of that magic item and then keep selling to her.
Note: She only has 3,000 gold in the shop's inventory. You must
keep resting for 24 hours to restock her gold. This will cause
you to become severely over-encumbered. It may take some time
before you can move again if you duplicate lots of items.

Unlimited Strength and Endurance: On the seventh mission of the Blades quests, SixthHouse
Base, Caius Cosades sends you to kill Dagoth Gares in the Ilunibi
cave. With his dying breath, Dagoth Gares curses you with a Corprus
disease; once you have contracted the disease, for every twenty
four game hours that pass, you will gain one point for each of
the strength and endurance attributes, but you will lose one point
in every other attribute. It is recommended that you sleep to
make the time pass faster. Note: Do not let any of your attributes
reach zero; if this happens you will not be able to regain them
by any means. Do not worry about the lower skills, as they can
be returned to their previous values by using either potions or
spells. There is a woman named Danso Indules in the Vivec Temple
area, outside. She is standing inside the huge archway in the
middle of the temple area. She will sell you all of the spells
that you will need. These spells will have the name "Restore…"
followed by the name of the attribute that they restore. You will
need approximately 1,000 gold. Note: If you are using the spell
method to regenerate your attributes (recommended), do not let
your Intelligence attribute drop too low. Keep it above 15 or
you may not have enough Magicka to perform the spells. Also, you
must buy all of these spells before your personality becomes too
low or she will refuse to do business. You can purchase these
spells before you contract the disease. To cure the disease, go
to Caius Cosades and he will tell you all the information needed.
Make sure that when you get cured, that you have all of your attributes
fully restored; when you are cured, the attributes may remain
at whatever level they were at. If you perform all of these tasks
correctly, your strength and endurance should remain at whatever
level you reached. Note: If anyone casts a Strength or Endurance
reducing spell on you after you have cured the disease and have
bypassed 100 points in either attribute, the effect will be permanent
until it is reduced back to 100. This may be a long and tiresome
process since you must repeatedly sleep for 24 hour periods for
only one attribute point for each time, but is well worth it.
It is possible to use this method to reach a Strength and Endurance
level of 1,000. It is recommended that you save frequently, especially
after every time that you restore your ever-decreasing attributes.

Increase attributes: In the Game Of The Year edition of the game, combine
Soul Trap and Fortify Attribute (set to Self 100 to 100, 0, cheapest
at the Balmora Mages Guild). Choose whatever attribute desired,
then go to first person view and cast it at your feet. Every time
it will greatly increase the attribute. This is useful for becoming
very sneaky and getting free items.
Information in this section was contributed by X Avalanche.
In the Game Of The Year edition of the game, get the Soultrap
spell and any Fortify Attribute spell (for example, Fortify Speed).
Then, go to anyone who makes spells. Make a spell with: Fortify
<attribute> on self for two seconds with magnitude
of 100 to 100, and SoulTrap on target for 2 seconds with area
of 0. Name and buy the spell. Select it in your spells and cast
it. Each time you cast the spell the selected attribute will increase
by 100, or whatever magnitude you selected. Note: <attribute>
is a selected attribute on the list. When you create a spell,
the fortify speed or whatever spell becomes fortify attribute.
From there you can select any attribute. If you choose to make
a different magnitude make sure its number is the same on both
parts of the range. For example, if you chose 43, it should be
43 - 43.

Soul Trap: In the Game Of The Year edition, buy Summon
Creature (anything your level can handle) from people in the Mages
Guild in Balmora. Make sure you have Soul Gem in your inventory.
Summon the creature that you just bought, then cast Soul Trap
on it. Kill it, and you will have an enchanted gem you can sell
or keep.

Repeat enchanting with one Golden Saint:
When you are enchanting items with a constant effect,
you must have a Grand Soul Gem, with a Golden Saint. If you have
just one, you can make as many as desired without having to hunt
down more Saints. To do this, when you go to the "Enchant"
menu, choose the Golden Saint. Set up the enchantment as desired,
then as the last step, switch your Soul Gems. You will still get
the constant effect. Note: The cast cost still must be lower than
the charge, or you cannot make the enchantment.

Buy with no money: Try to et your name cleared in Sandrith Mora. Exit
out without clearing your name and dropped your money. He also
trains. Start training, with no money. Eventually, the "Service
refusal" message will appear. Pay him 1,000 gold and continue.
You now should have 5,000 gold permanently. You can buy anything
under 5,000 gold, except for spellmaking and enchanting.

Instant kill: If you have a melee weapon equipped, pull it back to
attack, then go to the menu and select any type of lockpick. Release
the attack, then leave the menu to attack with the lockpick to
instantly kill the enemy.

Invisibility: This trick requires a Soultrap spell, a cheap Invisibility
spell, and high enough Magicka to cast the spell. First, go to
a spellmaker. Put Invisibility with a duration of one second.
Then put Soultrap on target, for a duration of one second. Create
the spell. Point straight down and cast it. You are now invisible
until you load your next game. You can now steal things directly
in front of people without the invisibility wearing off, but you
must "sneak" while stealing. Also, once invisible you
can attack anyone (except guards) without getting a bounty, and
it causes critical damage if you are behind them. Note: If you
have done something bad and have a bounty, guards cannot see you.

Fight innocent people without reporting
a crime: If you are doing quests where you need to kill someone
in public (for example, the last fighter's guild quest where you
must kill the Thieves Guild Masters), and you do not want to get
caught, use the following trick. Before you kill them, talk to
the person you want to kill. Go into the "Persuasion"
tab then select "Taunt". Keep taunting the character
until they say "That does it!" or something similar,
where all you can select is "Go Away". When you go away,
wait a few seconds and they will attack you. You are free to defend
yourself without getting caught. You can now save some money from
getting fined.

Damage from short fall: In Caldera, jump as you open a door to enter a house
(this will not work while exiting). When the "Loading Interior"
message ends, you will have your health quartered.

Escape Census Office at the start of new
game: When you start a new game, you normally have to go
through the Census Office to proceed. Before you enter the office,
turn left and head for the tree. Try to walk on the tree until
you get to the part that gets really close to the stone wall.
Then, try to keep walking until you go through the top of the
wall and end up outside. You will not have any menus or anything
else.
Information in this section was contributed by wesley mauldin.
In the Game Of The Year edition, another way to skip the Census
Offices is to go to where the office and left wall meet. While
walking forward, jump several times and you will be out. Note:
While you cannot save or rest, you can steal anything. If you
get caught by a guard you will not have to pay a fine or go to
jail, as long as you do not talk to the guard.

Go through walls: First, get the Spelltrap and Fortify Speed spells.
Have someone to make this spell. Speed: On self, 100-100 magnitude,
2 duration. Soultrap: On target, 2 seconds. Make the spell and
cast it at a wall until you get over 2,500 points. You may need
to raise your intelligence first. Go to a area where you have
plenty of room and has a wall with a corner pointing away from
you. Run at the corner and jump just when you get to it. If done
correctly, you will go through the wall and may go into the building.
Try sniping people from inside the building.
Information in this section was contributed by wesley mauldin.
Find a location with two objects at a less than an 80 degree angle.
When at full Acrobatics and full Speed with no encumbrance, run
at the corner and jump repeatedly. You will know if you have the
correctly wall as you will slowly go up it. You will eventually
go through the walls.

Start a new game. After you fill out your papers, you will be
asked to see the captain in the next building. When you go outside,
the game will tell you to get the ring out of the barrel. After
doing so, run towards the corner of the wall and the building.
Kump at the corner a few times while still running into it. You
will jump through the wall to the other side, and can now steal,
fight, and break the law without going to jail. Note: By doing
this you are not allowed to save the game until you go back to
the captain.

Going out of Dun-Ahhe cave: The cave is called Dun-Ahhe, in the Sheograd region
bordering the Grazelands. Go to the northeastern-most room in
the dungeon. There are two diamond rocks at the bottom on the
water. Find the rock that is immediately to the right-hand side
of the cavern door. Wedge yourself between the rock and the wall
then jump holding Toward the wall. You should go straight
through the wall. Alternately, if you go into the rock there is
an opening. Go through it and you will be outside the area without
leaving. The glitch is helpful because the room is difficult to
get out of normally.

Sleep without leaving Creepers building:
Go to the room with the four poster bed and jump. Aim
at the top of the bed (with the bgs on top). It will also read
"Bed". Select it, and you can sleep without leaving
Creepers building. This saves time when you are trying to sell
the extra things you do not need for your journey.

Crazy jumping in Vivec: Jump from one of the higher floors of one of the towers
of Vivec to where the bridges are that go across from one tower
to the other. Just when you are about to hit the bridge, press
X to equip your weapon. If done correctly, you should go
through the bridge without getting hurt and land in the water.

Temporary levitation: Note: In order to do this trick you will need to have
an Acrobatics skill of 95 to 100. Go to a town with wide space
(Balmora recommended). Drop every piece of equipment, armor, magic,
and miscellaneous item that you have in your inventory. Jump (hold
the button for greater effect), then quickly press Start
and save the game. Make sure that you saved while in mid-air.
The next time you load from that file, your game will freeze for
a few seconds, then you will appear to be standing in mid-air.
You can move around, but after a few seconds you will land.

Free payments: Whenever you have to pay something, such as your bounty
at the Thieves Guild or reinstating yourself back in a guild,
just drop your money somewhere and talk to the person. Select
the option of whatever it is you have to do, and it will automatically
be paid. Then, pick your money back up. You will still have all
of it.

Be part of two Houses at once: For this to work, you must be part of either House
Redoran or House Telvanni. Then, become Grandmaster in whichever
one. After you have defeated Dagoth Ur and the "main quest"
and Orvas Dren is dead, go to his brother, Duke Dren at Ebonhart.
Talk to him about Orvas. He will say that you shall be the Grandmaster
of Hlaolu, and when you look to see what House you are in, you
will be in two of them. However, you are not Grandmaster yet --
you still must go up in ranks.

Area X: In the Game Of The Year edition, swim into any ocean
around Vvardenfall away from the mainland towards the end of your
map. Continue too far and you will enter an area named "X".
The map in the upper left hand corner shows landforms under the
water, but it is just barren land and seems to go on forever.
Be careful as it is easy to get lost here. There is no practical
use for this.

See sun through a shield: Note: This trick requires a tower shield. During the
day when the sun is out, bring out your weapon. Hold Attack
and your shield will raise. Look at the sun with your shield.
You should see the sun through the shield.

Freeze game: Drop items without picking them back up, or storing
them; and leave the doors open. This will cause your game to run
slower and may cause lag and can cause it to freeze.
In the Game Of The Year edition, start a new file, and get to
the part where you must take the ring out of the barrel. Take
the ring, equip it, then continue until you talk to Fargoth. Give
him the ring without unequiping it. Then, go straight to the shop
and you will see the ring in your inventory, but with no charge.
Sell the ring, and continue to do anything. After several minutes
the game should just freeze.
