Has anyone actually raised their Mercantile and Acrobatics levels to 100?
I never accomplished this in any playthrough.

Acrobatics, yes. I usually have acrobatics as a major skill and have to get it to 100 to finish the game. It is easy to do by hopping down Dive Rock and buying lessons at the bottom.

Yeah, jumping is not very effective in leveling Acrobatics, as taking fall damage (any amount) is worth 10 jumps. Jumping down Dive Rock in increments one time might be worth like 150 jumps

Early on you can get one point per trip down. Later it's not so bad putting the time in for five points and then paying the trainer for another five. There is some skill involved not killing yourself, and the view is nice.

Yes and I’m god

Mercantile? Yes.
Acrobatics? I can usually get it to 200 with the trainers & Drain Skill (IIRC) trick (I don't consider it an exploit).

I’ve done mercantile once before, it takes a lot of selling random stacks of items one by one, by that point you’ll have more money than you’ll know what to do with though so it’s not really that useful

I usually drop out once certain skills start hitting 100. Never leveled up either that high, but got Mercantile to 75 at one point. Thing is, at this point, you're likely rolling in septims, and just looking for a reason to spend it. Get every house and upgrade them all.
Nowadays, if I am going to get a house, I have one specifically in mind and just get that, upgrade it and go from there. *Usually Cheydinhal or Chorrol, as those are my two favorite houses*

100 acrobatics is fucking hilarious. It's not hard to max out, just keep jumping while traveling.
In that case I fucked up by not having it set as a major skill. I usually set combat skills, because I don't want to worry too much about leveling and not get outpaced by leveling monsters.
Don't need it as a major and wouldn't recommend it as a major in most instances. You will be a master jumper with high leveled enemies crushing you. Just jump everywhere, that's all there is to it. If you're on PC and don't want to console command it - you can set up an auto-clicker/key and hot-key it so you can just let your character jump constantly while you're away from the game.
Just because you have something as a major skill doesn't mean you have to actively use it whenever possible. During normal play I usually build about one point in acrobatics every three or four levels, but starting with it at 25 or 30 as a major skill gives me the ability to jump up on a boulder or castle ledge when I need to.
...The OP is about getting it to level 100. The topic of conversation is about using it, to get it leveled to 100.
