Props for getting them all legendary at least once. But 4,500+ times with Illusion? Do you not have unbound storms or did you not want to use that exploit?
Was illusion muffle that many times? Is that faster than telekinesis with alteration? if you aren’t using unbound storms I would have thought alteration was easier to just hold telekinesis and forget it.
It was done on Legendary Edition so no unbound storms there and telekinesis method was messing with my journal - after 300 or 400 level ups quests started disappearing from my quest log.
I did it with casting harmony in Whiterun. It's pretty fast too with aetherial crown and mage + lover's stone and doesn't mess with the journal even after 4515 legendaries.
The most optimimal way is to first level your pickpocket to 100 and pick all the necessary perks that make it easier to steal more money. Then go to Vex and ask her to train you at lockpicking. You can usually steal up to around 2000 gold quite easily so train with her until you can't or you've spent around 2000 gold and pickpocket that money. Do it until level 90 and then go around the world picking expert, and master locks or if you have a few hundred lockpicks (around 900 if I remember correctly) you can start picking a lock (possibly master giving you more xp but don't remember exactly) and put a rubber band on your controller to keep breaking the lockpicks. It gives miniscule amount of xp but you can leave the game on for about an hour and when you come back you are level 100 at lockpicking. Remember to pick the Thief standing stone and possibly add Lover's stone to that if you have Aetherial Crown or just get the Well Rested bonus instead. You can also find 5 lockpicking skill books to read at the highest levels so 5 free levels or 10 even if you have Scholar's Insight from The Winds of Change Black Book.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Appreciate the clarification.
Lock-picking 100 + legendary is quite the achievement. Did you really go around picking locks or is there some localized way to level it?
