| I'm sneaking, why won't my skill increase? |
|
My character is a Nord Adventurer, level 5. Sneak is one of my primary skills. So far, it doesn't seem to be increasing. I thought that when the sneak icon is showing, then no one sees me and I should gain some experience. I haven't tested this out with pickpocketing yet, so I don't know what effect that may have. I thought that with a lot of creeping around, it would help me gain "experience". Any thoughts on what is happening?  |

The "sneaking" icon appears whenever you aren't detected. Your skill, however, only goes up when you are both undetected *AND* there's someone there to detect you! 
Try sneaking around the middle of a town with lots of people around, or around a crowded inn. Whenever you're sucessful at sneaking then, you'll start to get points towards an improve. (Hover the mouse over the sneak skill and note the current level - after lurking in corners or tiptoeing around for a while check it again.)
Naturally, if you suck at Sneak to begin with, you'll take forever to get anywhere. If you've got below about 20 Sneak, train it up first. I hear you can improve your sneaking skills by wearing lighter shoes - don't try clanking around in Iron Boots!
BTW, I found an excellent pair of shoes somewhere - Shoes of Sanguine Stalking I believe - +5 Sneak constant effect. Nice.  Not a clue where I got them from though!
