Oblivion:Master Training

Learn from the masters to further boost your skills. Location(s): Various Reward: Training

Overview

Once you reach a level of 70 in any skill, whether through use, training, or reading skill books, basic and advanced trainers will no longer be able to teach you; only the master trainer in that skill can provide further training. However, to receive master training, there are several steps that must be followed:

1. Speak to one of the advanced trainers about Training once you have a skill level of 70 (this includes temporary boosting).
2. The advanced trainer will tell you the name of the master trainer, and a new quest will appear in your journal.
3. Find the master trainer (some of them are in remote locations).
4. Accomplish a mini-quest (or have already met some specified requirements) to qualify for training; these quests are detailed below.
5. The training icon will now appear in the master trainer's dialogue options.

After going through this process, the training is then similar to lower level training: you can only train a total of five points in all skills at any level, and you will have to pay 10*(skill level) gold for each level of training.

You can start and complete each master trainer's quest even after you have reached level 100 in their skill.

Notes

• Despite their title of "master" trainers, none of the twenty trainers have a skill level of 100 in their chosen skill. Their skill levels instead range from a high of 88 to a mere 5, with only six trainers having a level above 70.

Bugs

• If Alawen, Bralsa Andaren, Tooth-in-the-Sea, or Torbern die before you begin their related quests, the quest can be obtained but not completed, and will stay active.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 2.0.0, addresses this issue. All four trainers are now marked Essential until their respective quests are completed.
