sorry if this has been mentioned before, but i havent been able to find anything on it


i'd like to know if there is a way i can see how many "xp" points it takes to level up a certain skill. i suppose i can figure this out myself by using advskill console command and increment it one at a time but damn that would take forever to test.

it would be nice if there was a reference chart that shows each skill and how many XP points it takes to level up to the next skill level


i vaguely remember someone talking about this is a post a long time ago but i cant find that thread anymore

I imagine you'd have to know the formula or figure it out. Though not sure how this helps you, I'm not sure there is a way to tell you how much "XP" you've acquired.

It may have been a post by me that you are refering to. I dropped following through on it though - too much trouble.
You can track the skill XP manually in a script if you really need to, I suppose.
The problem is that there does not appear to be a way to get the current xp with papyrus.
Down the road maybe with SKSE...

A caveat to take into account:
If you use setav / modav, the xp required to advance to the next level appears to remain set to the previous level.

Example:
Player skill level in alchemy is 15.
The games sets the xp needed to level 16.
You call a setav to make the player's alchemy 18.
The player advances to level 19 when the xp for level 16 is gained.
The game engine now resets the xp needed to level 20.
Call setav again and change it to 10.
The player advances to 11 when the xp for level 20 is reached.
The game engines now sets the xp needed to level 12.
And so on, and so on...
