If you want to level Destruction get a CORRODE ARMOR or CORRODE WEAPON effect on self, instead of self damage.

You don’t die.

You also get to level up Armorer at the same time. Combo’s great with your “Fortify Armorer” spell to minimize the hammers you break along the way.
If you just want to level up Armorer, you can enchant some apparel (a ring, for example) with the Disintegrate Weapon/Armor effect, and it will damage your gear every time you equip this ring… so just spam equipping/removing the ring in your inventory until all your gear breaks for optimal Armorer EXP gains.
Spell casting hints: Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds, and a Absorb Fatigue 5 pts for 6 seconds. When you spam it, it will trigger the weakness and double it to 10 pts.
It’s a style of casting that works better the more you cast then on the enemy.
I find these simple exploits of game mechanics funny. Do you have any others (in Oblivion or other RPGs)?
In Oblivion you can sneak into a wall endlessly next to some NPC and get to level 100 pretty well. Bethesda knew what they where doing.
Pretty much every time I played Oblivion I’d spend a week in the tutorial cave, levelling Agility by using a turbo controller and rubber band, jumping in a corner where the ceiling height is just high enough so you can spam about 5 jumps per second. Later on you can do what you said near a goblin to max Sneak, but I think it’s quicker by that guy you need to kill for the Dark Brotherhood as he’s ill and perpetually sleeping
I know the goblin you’re talking about, but one better for sneak in the tutorial is right when you encounter the first zombie, three rats are fleeing it. They’re hostile, but the devs wanted you to focus on the zombie, so they don’t attack no matter what. Killing the zombie then sneaking into a wall by those rats is safe but also gives you more experience because you’re sneaking around three enemies
Incroyable!
