How to level up in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

by

For those who haven’t played Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion previously and are now diving in with the recent Remastered version for the first time, you might find the leveling system a bit unconventional. If you’re an old hand at it, you may recognize that things aren’t quite as they were before. In this guide, I’ll explain everything you need to understand about leveling up.

How the leveling system works in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

To advance in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, it’s essential to enhance both your Major and Minor abilities. Boosting these skills earns you Experience Points (XP) that contribute to your total character level. Your Major skills are the ones associated with the class you picked when creating your character, and they yield a larger amount of XP towards your overall level compared to the Minor skills.

To improve your abilities, it’s crucial to perform actions linked with those skills. For instance, if you want to develop stealth but never act sneaky, you won’t progress that skill. If your skills revolve around specific weapons, you need to score hits using them. In essence, the more time you invest in doing things that you’re proficient in, the more those skills will advance, and the more overall experience (XP) points you’ll accumulate.

To assess your progress and skills, simply navigate to your Journal, find the ‘Skills’ tab located within the ‘Character’ section.

After accumulating sufficient Experience Points (XP) for an upgrade, you’ll receive a prompt suggesting you take some downtime for rest and contemplation. To achieve this, locate a bed and get some sleep. This action will facilitate the level up process. As your character advances to higher levels, you’ll earn Virtue Points that can be utilized to boost your primary attributes.

Choose the attributes you desire among Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Personality, and Luck, then affirm to advance to the next level. Remember, if you can’t level up by sleeping immediately when you reach the highest rank, don’t worry; any excess experience you earn won’t be lost. It will be saved for you until you level up again, and you’ll see progress on your bar towards the next rank in the meantime.
