Where To Buy Mage Robes & Hoods
As mentioned before, Robes and Hoods, which have enchanted properties and are useful for mages to carry, are extremely hard to come by. But players can create their own Mage Hoods and Robes by purchasing regular robes from some of the following vendors, and then enchanting each separate piece of gear usingSigil Stones(Obtained by closing Oblivion Gates):
Players can also get a full set ofMage Robesby completing the Mages Guild questto access the Arcane University. If they keep raking up by completing quests, they will also be able to attain Arch-Mage Rank, which will grant them access to theArch Mage robeset.
It is highly recommended that players pick regular clothing and enchant it usingEnchanting Table/Sigil Stone to create the perfect Mage attire for their characters. Some recommended Enchantments include: Magicka Regeneration, Shield, or Elemental Shield.
Where To Buy Spells
To buy spells for the different schools of Magic, players should head to either the Mages Guild, orany of the Spell vendorslocated in the merchant districts of important cities. Some good places to start include:
Where To Buy Staffs
Staffs, alongside enchanted robes, are some of the most difficult items to obtain inThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.These offer a good way for mages to save precious Magicka while fighting a prolonged battle. So getting themselves a staff is the best investment mage players can make inOblivion Remastered.
There are a few places to purchase staffs in the game, but this shortlist will ensure players have it easy finding the best equipment at the best prices:
Where To Buy Alchemy Ingredients & Potions
When looking for alchemical items, reagents, potions, and all things related to Alchemy inOblivion Remastered, Sinderion is the answer. He has a low Merchantile skill, so his prices are far better than any other alchemy supplier (that means he sells cheap and pays a lot). Players canfind Sinderionin thecellarof theWest Weald Inn in Skingrad.
Players can easily locate him by following theSeeking Your Rootsquest, which consists of finding out the purpose ofNirnrootand gather an enormous amount of them.
Where To Buy Magetallow Candles
Magetallow candles are a critical ingredient for Spellcrafting and Enchanting, and they can be bought from Aurelinwae, who runs the Mystic Emporium at the Imperial City Market District, alongside Calindil.
These items are a little bit pricey, but the end result will be totally worth it, since the player will gain access to two of the best features for a mage inOblivion Remastered. Besides, they can also buy improvements fortheir own mage tower (Frostcrag Spire)from her.
Where To Buy Soul Gems
Soul Gemscan be purchasedfrom most of the vendors in Cyrodiil, but players will have better luck finding them from enemies (especially Daedra, Vampires, Necromancers, and Conjurers), and from certain specialized vendors like the ones found at the Mages Guild.
From all the previously mentioned vendors, Rindir has the best prices, so it would be best to purchase them from him. Like any loot in the game, it levels with players, so the more they level up, the better gear will be sold at the vendors (with the exception os special enchanted gear), so keep that in mind. The same happens with soul gems, starting at Petty, and Lesser, and going for Common, Greater, and Grand as they reach higher levels (10-30).
