ehm, 2 of my skills stopped leveling at a certain point

one main skill: block: it's stuck on 44 i'm using a glass claymore, and no mather what i block, the skill wont go up, why is this and how can i make it go up again, cause this is driving me into a very agressive playing style.

and another skill: mercantile: it's stuck at i think 33 and it wont go up no mather how many things i sell :-(

please help, thx

is your endurance above 44? is your personality above 33? that could be the problem. have you tried training? have you ever seen the words "you cannot raise a skill above its governing attribute"?

my endurance is 90+
speachcraft is...45 i think.

never saw the skill...

blocking went up a little bit today...looks like i have to make real pure blocks to gain level

Get a nice, heavy shield or two and find a few obliging mudcrabs. Let the mudcrabs hit you while holding block. Training skills in this way won't be limited by the governing attribute level. The governing attribute only limits skill trains from trainers.

For mercantile, big transactions work better than small ones. Mercantile takes a while to train up though so just make it a point to make transactions every time you get to a town. I would always buy all the alchemy ingredients I could and make potions and sell them. It took a while but it eventually got to 100.
