Although the dragon armor perk is visibly joined to both the glass armor and daedric armor perks, it is not possible to unlock all 3 without first acquiring all the prerequisite light and heavy armor perks. An example of this would be the Smithing skill tree on the left-hand side of the circle are light armor perks, on the right are heavy armor perks, meeting in the middle at dragon armor at level 100. Players cannot 'loop round' later perks to unlock earlier ones.The Official Skyrim Patch version 1.9 allows a skill at level 100 to be made Legendary, which will reset the skill to level 15 and refund all perk points allocated to that skill, making them available for reallocation wherever you see fit.With Dragonborn installed, perks may be undone and redistributed at the cost of one dragon soul per skill tree once you have completed the add-on's main quest.Perk points cannot be changed or undone once spent.For example, to unlock the "Extra Effect" skill under Enchanting, only "Storm Enchanter" or "Corpus Enchanter" needs to be unlocked.


For example, to unlock Enchanting's "Fire Enchanter" skill, only the first rank of "Enchanter" needs to be unlocked, not all five ranks.

The maximum value for unused perk points is 255, four more than required for every perk. One perk point is given to the character when the character's overall level increases. The perks are all detailed on the individual skill pages, along with their requirements. 180 skill perks are available, 251 if including all ranks for each perk. Each skill has its own associated perks, which can be unlocked when a character advances a level.
