There are a handful of new changes, and a bunch of updated features, inOblivion Remastered, and one of the things that was significantly altered is the leveling experience.Oblivionleveling used to be quite slow, and was restricted to your Major Skill development in the original game.
InOblivion Remastered, though, you gain more XP for raising high-level Skills and Major Skills, but you also can increase your level faster by increasing Minor Skills. This guide explains the mechanics that allow you to level quickly inOblivion Remastered,and briefly describes thebest leveling methodsOblivion Remasteredplayers can use to level up fast.
Focus On Leveling Major Skills
Improving Major & High-Level Skills Grants More XP
InOblivion Remastered, leveling fast can be accomplishedmainly by improving your Major Skills. Your Major Skills are the seven Skills associated with your chosen Class, while all others are considered Minor Skills.
Raising Major Skills grants significantly more XP towards character level than Minor Skills. Additionally, because high-level Skills are harder to improve and require more effort to raise, they grant more level XP when increased.
To level fast inOblivion Remastered, focus on raising your Major Skills, especially your highest-level Major Skills, but don’t completely ignore your other high-level Minor Skills.
Train With Skill Trainers, If You Have The Gold
Training Skills Is One Of The Fastest Ways To Level In Oblivion
Throughout Cyrodiil,players will find numerous Skill trainers, at least one for each Skill, who can train you at different level brackets (Novice, Adept, Expert, Master) in exchange for Gold. If you outlevel a Skill trainer, they cannot train you.
It can cost a lot of Gold to train skills, especially to train high-level Skills and Major Skills. However, if you have a lot of Gold to spare, you can pick and choose which Skills you want to improve to match your build, and will gain level XP every time you train. You can only train five times each level, which is tracked across all trainers.
Jump, Run, & Sprint As Often As Possible
Raise Athletics & Acrobatics To Get More Level XP
Leveling inOblivion Remasteredis a bit different from how it was in the original game. In the original version ofOblivion, leveling your Minor Skills didn’t contribute to your overall character level, and yourAttribute choices came from Skillsyou developed in that level bracket.
InOblivion Remastered, when you raise Minor Skills, you will get a small amount of XP towards your level. Because of this small change, you do not need to choose Athletics or Acrobatics as Major Skills to gain level XP when improving these skills.
Instead, to level up fast inOblivion Remastered,simply keep Run enabled and Sprintwhen you have the stamina to raise Athletics passively, and Jump whenever you are travelling to raise your Acrobatics passively.
If you do not have Alchemy as a Major Skill, you can raise this skill incredibly fast by combining ingredients gathered throughout the world to make random potions and poisons. If you are right on the cusp of leveling up, check your Alchemy tab, click on your Mortar and Pestle, and make a few consumables to push yourself over the edge.
Free Skill Improvements At High Levels Will Grant More XP
A staple of theElder Scrollsseries are Skill Books, books which players can find that will improve a Skill when read. You will not know whether a book will grant a Skill Point when read just by looking at it, so be sure to reference a list of all Skill Books inOblivionbefore you start tearingthrough the local Mage’s Guild bookshelves.
These Skill Points can only be gained once, so it’s a bit of a waste to read them at early levels when raising Skills is relatively easy. At mid to late levels, it can take a long time to raise your level quickly inOblivion Remasteredas more XP is required to increase Skills.
Wait until around level 20 to 25 before you start reading Skill Books to gain levels. You will save time raising your high-level Skills, and gain the same amount of XP towards your character level as if you had trained or increased the Skill naturally.
