Destruction is actually pretty easy to level up, but first you have to have the skill blizzard, just go in an open field and cast it repeatedly

1. Cast telekinesis on an object.
2. Fast travel to the other side of the map.
3. Profit!
Quote: For Conjuration and Alteration, spam soul trap and use telekinesis. However you would need major reductions to the spell's cost
Using four items of apparal (rings, chains, circlets and garments), each enchanted to reduce the cost of casting a type of spell, in this case Alteration, by 25 percent, makes casting that spell cost zero.
Hey how about using my tricks lately found it, you can make legendary more eficient by fighting giant on bleakwind basin if i don't mistaken, just rule one giant and bring it redoran retreat on under the bridge with the small rock river, then you can level up block skill, restoration and also heavy armor + light armor too, and also maybe archery and destruction skill by setting it on legendary at gameplay so the giant doesn't die...
I'm sorry people but sneak attack your horse or a grey beared is the fastest way to level sneak which in my opinion is the fastest way to powerlevel I've gone from 15-100 in about 5-10 minutes
I know this is an old thread, but in my experience Pickpocketing is the quickest skill for me to level up.
The first few levels is difficult and you will end up in jail a couple times and a couple of bribes will be paid, but you can certainly level up to 100 in a single hour. And unlike other skills, the grind as you get closer and closer to level 100 actually gets easier.
You just pick a jewelled circlet or three from some d-bag's inventory and badaboom! you're already level 98...99... 100!
It is even easier and faster if ou just wear equipment that reduces your alteration cost to 0 and then fast travel with Telekinesis active.
Then take the Mage Stone and the Aetherium Crown (Lover Stone) for a +35% Bonus.
From 0(15) to 100 in a few seconds.
let's um things up...
smithing : make expensive jewelries (i.e. golden diamond ring), at the same time use transmute (alteration) to get cheaper gold ore.
offense-oriented skill (one-handed, two-handed, archery, destruction) : buy a horse, go to a secluded place (out of sight from any witnesses), change game difficulty into legendary and use your horse a the living target. u can also heal the horse via heal other (increase restoration skill) or just wait 1 hr..
conjuration : have at least one companion with you (equip him/her with best armor and shield but little to no weapon, iron dagger will be good) as a tank, encounter some hostile targets and spam conjure <element> atronach continuously and/or heal your ally with heal other during engagement.
restoration : use repel undead in any nordic tomb, or use equilibrium in tandem with fast healing
sneaking : find yourself a nice vantage point and shoot some projectile (spell, arrows or bolts) around a group high level npcs (i.e. greybeards)
illusion : have some equipment enchanted to increase your max magicka (for starter) and target any npc you find (best to use spells that not making anyone hostile). after leveling up (limit to level 9 until you have at least 400 magicka), use your perks to make higher tier spells cost less magicka and use harmony (over 800 magicka, but around 400 after master illusion perk had been unlocked) anywhere you want (be careful as these area of effect spells also blasted away any clutter and relatively-valuable-object on tables like coins and gems in entire cell, especially in dungeons, as you might lose them even if you cast it at the very entrance of the dungeon itself)
alchemy : make a lot of poisons with equipment already enchanted with fortify alchemy, especially if you managed to get a hold of jarrin root. use this ingedient as your poisons effect will be boosted quite significantly
alteration ; use telekinesis to pull a small object and fast travel from far east to far west of the map (equipped with everything enchanted with fortify alteration to make it 0 magicka to use)
enchanting : try to obtain only grand or higher soulgem (black star soulgem is the best) to soultrap any large souls (best to target low level bandits as they are the easy prey on low level). then have your weapon enchanted with absorp health or chaos damage with maximum effect in tandem with soultrap to continuously drain the enchantment with each use while granting a large soul to use (enchant extra weapons or armors before selling them or replenish your own weapon as this also grants a small exp)
speech : simply sell any equipment you have enchanted to any related merchant, do not forget to buy items from them (arrows, better weapons or armors, but mainly go for their any empy soulgem). the more gold you circulate, more exp to obtain. also you can go to riften, threaten the gate guard of their act to get extra gold from you and succeded, but immediately leave the place aout of their sight before he/she can unlock the gate in your sight. repeat this as the guard will once again repeat the act. also try to commit a crime of stealing anything, within sight of a guard. this will trigger optional dialogue to bribe the guard. after bribing him, you can pickpocket back your money and repeat the process. later on waltz in front of any guard of the same hold, and try to bribe again (requires high level of speech)
heavy/light armor : just equip them (best if they have been enchanted with fortify healing rate and fortify health) stand still in front a hostile npc (i.e. wolves or skeevers) while casting fast healing to heal yourself to minimize the damage. have some potions and hawk feathers in stock to cure any negative buff like rockjoint or rattles as you endure the relentless attack (caution : faster level up against higher level of enemy, but do watch your own capacity as well)
that was my summary after reading some suggestion in this thread mixed with some tricks i have tried myself as well... hope it will be useful
sorry, for illusion perks, you either limit leveling up to level 9 OR untul you acquire over 400 magicka by any means possible
OKAY, HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT IF NOT THE MOST EFFICIENT SKILL TO LEVEL UP AND LEGENDARY AGAIN AND AGAIN IS ALTERATION!
It takes a bit of prep work to get to the speed I can legendary the skill at, but if you do the prep work you can legendary the skill in under 5 mins.
First you need to have high enough enchanting that you can buff apparel to make alteration spells free. Next you need the master skill Mass Paralysis. Then all you have to do is go use the skill where there at least 4-5 NPCs and continuously use it. I recomend going to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm standing on the table and using the skill. Let the Jarl call for his helpers to fight you if they are not already in the room. There should be a max of 5 unkillable NPCs, then keep using the skill so they don't get up. I leveled so fast that the leveling up indicator (when it tells you that you have gone up a level in a skill) could not keep up. I actually legendary and lapped the level indicator. I recommend the Palace of the Kings because its a confined space and unknowns have less of a chance to pop up and interupt you.
Have fun leveling up.
