I recently got my Blacksmithing skill to 100. Now in the skills menu I can press space to make it Legendary, which will put it back to a skill level of 15 and reset my perks.
I am wondering: What benefit is there from making a skill Legendary apart from being able to level up the skill more thus having infinite levels?
Answer
There are a few perks to making a skill legendary:
-
Since your perk points reset within that skill tree, you can reallocate those points within the tree or place them into another tree
-
Resetting the skill back to 15 allows you to continue levelling using a tree that you actually use in the style you play the game with instead of forcing you to max a tree that is not within your playstyle. For example, I prefer to play a stealth/ranged damage character, so don’t particularly care for tanking so I could use the legendary skill feature to remove the need to max the block and heavy armor trees.
-
As you stated, the legendary skill feature effectively removes the level 81 level cap, so that you can attain ridiculous levels. A side effect of the level cap removal is that you continue to gain a perk point each level. You could theoretically get to a high enough level to have enough perk points to get every perk from every tree.
