Will wearing skill fortifying items to boost the skill above 100 stop that skill from levelling up

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

For example, if my one-handed skill is at 90, and I use an enchanted ring to boost that skill to 105, then go bashing away at Falmer for a while, will the skill level bar continue to fill, or will it stay at 90 until I unequip the ring?

Best Answer

No it will not.

Boosts that increase your skills shown level, only increases the benefits that you receive.

You will still level at the same rate that you'd level if you weren't wearing the ring.
