Skill Books

Last Updated: Apr-27-2013

  • For each skill you can find five books that will instantly improve that skill by one level. Each title only works once, even if you find two copies of that book.
  • No new skill books were added in the Dawnguard, Dragonborn or Hearthfire add-ons.
  • The Dragonborn add-on includes an ability called Scholar’s Insight that grants two points for every skill book read.

  1. both “Horror of Castle Xyr” and “Last Scabbard of Akrash” are incorrectly listed with “The” as their first word. Neither title starts with “The”.
