Then you can use zoning to zone back and forth while you attack them when they zone after you. Trolls are great because they have fast regen. The fastest way to raise weapons is to use a low damage weapon and go to a beast dungeon. That will enable the unbreakable hammer perk so you can spam repairs without breaking hammers.Д«lade and Blunt can raise decently, but they do take more time then other things especially at high levels. You can also get the ring from the shivering isles that destroys armor.ДЄlso if you haven't done it already, create a custom spell using the spellmaking alter either at the Arcane University or Frostcrag Spire that Boosts Armorer to 100 from whatever your current skill is with a 2-3 second duration. Unfotunatley this will also raise destruction. Disintigrate Armor on Self, 3 damage for 1 second although 5-9 can be better at higher levels. It is best to use unenchanted armor for skilling it up so you can repair it if your skill is below 50 and not have to pay a ton to have it repaired.ДЄrmorer can also raise fairly quickly if you have a custom spell that will damage your own armor. Just let them hit you until you are low on health and zone out to refill your health with the wait command. If you save your game before you enter you can keep reloading until you get 2 rats at the zone. The best way to level them is in a dungeon with rats. The problem is that raising them in combat is very slow because of losing health. The only skills that you have that raise fast are Heavy Armor and Block to some degree. Spamming it this way will raise Mercantile pretty quick. This way you don't actually spend any money. Sell them a ton of clothes and then buy them all back.

The fastest way to raise your mercantile skill is to Sell and Buy back clothing to a vendor because clothing costs only 1 gold. Mercantile can be an ok Major Skill, but not in conjunction with some of your other Major Skills.

It can't be avoided, but there are some things you can do to help it go more quickly. Your current Major Skills will make it harder to gain levels. Magic can skill up much more quickly with the exception of Restoration, but you need to create custom spells that cost 1-3 mp to cast. You have to many similiar skills and no magic as Major Skills. Things will get easier as you level up, but it is going to be slow until then. Ok I would say that the problem is somewhat your major skills.
