The Apprentice Stone: It is south of Solitude, on an island, in a small water marshland. It helps you recover magicka quickly, but it makes you susceptible to magicka damage.
The Atronach Stone: It is between Riften and Windhel, in the marshland. It is just outside the mountain range between the two locations, near the Eldergleam Sanctuary and Darkwater Crossing by the river to the east of the two. It gives you a large magicka boost and enables you to absorb spell damage, but you recover it slowly.
The Lady Stone: It is on a small island on the lake to the west of Riverwood. It allows you to regenerate health and stamina quickly.
The Lord Stone: It is southwest of Dawnstar, in the mountain range, on the northern peak. It makes you resistant to magicka and physical damage.
The Lover Stone: It is east of Markarth, about one fifth of the way to Solitude. It helps you improve all your skills faster.
The Ritual Stone: It is east of Whiterun, south of the river, between Whiterun and Valtheim Towers. It allows you to re-animate nearby corpses to fight for you.
The Serpent Stone: It is east of Winterhold, north of Windhelm, in the sea, on a floating ice berg. It gives you a ranged paralyzing poison to use once a day.
The Shadow Stone: It is south of Riften, on a small mountain before the large mountain range to the south. It lets you become invisible once a day for an extended period.
The Steed Stone: It is on the tip of the highest mountain, northwest of Solitude. It increases your carrying capacity without any movement penalty.
The Tower Stone: It is on a mountain in the middle of Winterhold and Dawnstar. It allows you to automatically open expert and lower locks.

Easy level ups/cheats
Easy Speech skill
Go to Riften, and talk to the Dark Elf named Ungrien. Choose the "Tell me about Maven Black-Briar." option, and then select the persuade option. After that, the persuade option will not disappear, allowing you to keep selecting it as many times as desired to get easy experience and max out your Speech skill. Note: This glitch was done on an unpatched version of the game. You can delete all patches for the game by using the "Clear hard drive cache" code for the Xbox 360.
free training
Get any skill trainer as your follower, and train your skills with him. Then, ask him to trade, and take the gold you gave him back.
To get costly (especially on later levels) training for free, enter any guild where there are trainers in what you need, and gain their trust. Get the desired training you need from the trainer, and then pickpocket him (your money for the training will be in his pocket). It would normally be considered a crime, but the guild will not do anything about it or report it.
Getting items from display cases without lockpicks
This trick works on any item within a locked display case. Look directly at the item through the display case glass, then press A to activate the lockpick mini-game. Instead of actually picking the lock, press B to exit the lockpicking screen, then immediately press A. If done correctly, you will take the item from within the case without having to unlock the display case. For example, you can use this trick on the Elven Sword in the display case in Jarl Balgruuf's bed chamber area in Dragonsreach. It has a Master level lock, but this trick allows you to get it without even picking the lock. Note: This is still considered stealing in most cases; thus, try not to get caught.
Restocking any merchant's items and gold
To instantly refill any merchant's stock and gold, simply sell or buy anything from them. Then, save the game, kill the merchant, and load the saved game.
(not a cheat)
Becoming a werewolf (lycanthropy)
There are several benefits to becoming a werewolf. In human form, you have increased health. In werewolf form, your speed and physical strength are increased. You are able to travel faster, have claws to tear enemies apart, and can use your howl to scare enemies to run away from battle. When you get injured, you can feed on ravaged corpses as a werewolf to heal your wounds. The werewolf effect is only temporary, and you ultimately revert back to human form, but you can prolong this effect. As a werewolf, you can also avoid the rested buff from sleeping. To become a werewolf, follow the questline of The Companions Of Whiterun. Once you reach the "Silver Hand" quest, you will take part in a secret ritual, where you drink another werewolf's blood and turn into a werewolf yourself. You will be given a choice to commit yourself, and the quest will not advance if you do not commit.

Rated M? What do you think?
Now I'll actually let you sound off. Email me at chaynsawchel@gmail.com.
Let's move on. Why Is Skyrim rated M? Sure, there's some blood. And just because you can get married doesn't mean there's 'sexual themes'. And people say damn, that's so horrible. I think it should be rated teen. I mean, if people wanted to make money for real, then let it be rated E!! Yeah, like kids are gonna pickpocket people and kill dragons.
So, like I said, sound off and email me with you're opinion. I think viewer opinion matters immensely.

Easy sneak
How to Master Sneak Fast in Skyrim
In Skyrim, sneak is a very useful tool especially for two purposes. You can go the creeper toon that no one can see, or use the levels to apply to Magika or health instead of stamina (which is what an assasain/thief wants) and use the perks on other skills other than sneak! Here's how. (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DAGGER! or two)
1You need to have gained entrance to High Hrothgar on The Throat of the World. (this is achieved by getting further in story)
2Once you get done with the Greybeard's training in the Thu'um, stand at the main entrance.
3Go down the corridor to the right and sneak while doing so.
4Pull out those lethal daggers and you will see a Greybeard meditating at an altar.
5Go behind him, save and turn the difficulty to maximum (this way you may score more hits and not wait for him to recharge health as much)
6Beat on him. :)
7Once he either stands up or notices you, run and hide around the corner down the stairs. (if you have the Silent Roll perk for sneak use that)
8Repeat process until your sneak is lvl 100!

Easy gold
1Go to bandit camps. If you don't think you can take them on by yourself, find a follower (to get followers for free, just do their quest(s), and you can hire them with no charge, though with some you have to pay) Usually, if you loot both bodies and houses, there is a fair amount of money.
2Get in good with the Jarl. Seriously! If you get in good with the Jarl and complete all his/her quests and become the Thane, you can take almost anything to sell. Some things like jewelry cannot be taken without stealing. [ex. When you kill the dragon in Whiterun, you can not only buy a house, but take almost everything in his castle other then the things in his wizard's room.
3Steal. Stealing is one of the main things people do in these games to get money, it's easy, wear things that up your stealth, or get perks for your stealth.
4Join the Dark Brotherhood. Every time you report to the Dark Brotherhood after a murder, you get around 100-200 coin.
5Chop wood. You can chop wood, and sell it for about 5-6 gold at most pubs and mills. Though it doesn't pay a lot, you get 2 wood every time you chop one log, so each cycle, you chop 3 logs, so you get 6 firewood each time.
6Do jobs. Usually the jobs you get from the local people in any town pay well.
7Dungeons. You're thinking this one is too hard cause of Draugers and crap like that, right? Well it's really worth it! Usually, Draugers will drop from 1-30 coin, and when you finish the boss battle, you can either disenchant the weapon you get, or you can sell it for usually about 100-3000 coin.
8Hunting. Sometimes, animals will carry a small amount of coin from their last kill, or you can sell the pelts and meat for about 10-30 coin depending on what kind of pelt it is [ex. Wolf pelts are usually more then say, fox pelts, because wolf pelts are larger]
9Sell a lot. You're probably thinking, well we know that! But listen, look at the value of random things before you pick them up such as ingots, clothing, weapons, potions, books, etc. if it has a high value rating, then it's worth selling!
10 Join factions, do lots of quests. Joining factions means doing quests, and quests usually are fair pay (depending on the person and quest).
11Smith extra weapons/armor. Easy, when you smith things, smith some extras and sell them.

Bard Songs
Bard songs
You might have, while you traveled around Skyrim, heard the bards sing some songs. These are those songs, and their lyrics.
Ragnar the Red
There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead!
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade, as he told of bold battles and gold he had made!
But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red, when he met the shieldmaiden Matilda who said…
Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead! Now I think it’s high time that you lie down and bleed!
And so then came the clashing and slashing of steel, as the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal!
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no moooooree… when his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!
Age of Oppression
We drink to our youth, and to days come and gone
For the age of oppression is now nearly done
We’ll drive out the Empire from this land that we own
With our blood and our steel we will take back our home
All hail to Ulfric! You are the High King!
In your great honor we drink and we sing
We’re the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives
And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies!
But this land is ours and we’ll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams
Age of Aggression
We drink to our youth, to days come and gone
For the age of aggression is just about done
We’ll drive out the Stormcloaks and restore what we own
With our blood and our steel we’ll take back our home
Down with Ulfric the killer of kings
On the day of your death we’ll drink and we’ll sing
We’re the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives
And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies!
But this land is ours and we’ll see it wiped clean
Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams
The Dragonborn Comes
Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior’s heart
I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes
With a Voice wielding power of the ancient Nord art
Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes
It’s an end to the evil, of all Skyrim’s foes
Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes
For the darkness has passed, and the legend yet grows
You’ll know, You’ll know the Dragonborn’s come
