Featuring: Oblivion Game Guide, Oblivion Atlas, Knights of the Nine Game Guide and Shivering Isles Game Guide.
Behold, our unofficial strategy guide to overwhelmingly gigantic The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Here you will find everything you need to know about the game and was afraid to ask anywhere else.
First, some technical stuff. As you may know from other texts about Oblivion, the game’s world reacts to the player’s progress and evolves with him. That means that you can actually beat the main quest without even bothering to do anything except it, ‘cause if you don’t level up your character, you’ll be fighting some basic enemies over and over again to the very end. That leads to the fact that we can’t actually point out how many or what type of enemies you will be facing in certain situations. These factors depend on your character’s level. If you don’t want to “loose” time on leveling up, go ahead and endlessly fight Scamps and basic Dremora soldiers.
We didn’t cover the things that are pretty obvious in our guide. There’s no point in telling you exactly what to do in each dungeon, so we stick to the essentials. Hey, you’re a gamer, you shouldn’t feel like a fish out of water when you’re deep underground surrounded by skeletons, now should you?
There are a lot of bugs in this game. Bugs that keep you from completing certain quests, make objects disappear or NPCs talk rubbish. Save often, that’s the best advice we can give you. Every quest is beatable under certain circumstances and bugs seem to appear randomly, so you might not have a problem at all when you beat them the second time round.
The guide’s author after dozens of hours of work.

| Arrik 09/02/2010 16:34 | | Thanks Dantie
It's just what I need to know.
By the way I don't think that it's possible to gain more than 1200 gold from a merchant; I personally check with every merchants (only in the main city) and the average price it's always 1200.
But maybe there is a barkeeper in some of the inn hide around the continent that could offer you something more.
Bye and thanks again

| Ame78 28/01/2010 20:53 |  | You can't leave the Dark Brotherhood. If you betray their way, you will be visited by Sithis, a form of wraith only fought in this way, when you next wake up from sleeping. The Mage's Guild can be permanently banned from with your third incident. The fighter's Guild I'm not sure about. That's all though. Thieve's guild doesn't have a limit that I know of, just a price (gold) to pay each time you betray them.
For anyone selling heaps of any one particular item, when selling them, use this method. When you get the quantity select point, press X, X, hold X; then it will either come up with the quantity again or bring up the confirmation again. If it brings up the confirm again, just select yes and it will go straight to the quantity select. I've not noticed it to resell the item, sorry it's just the once still.
I was wondering if there was anyway to sell multiple of a too costly item? I have an item worth 2900 gold, with the nearest merchant only having 1200 gold and the lowest I can down to is the item being worth 1218, it still won't allow me to sell any more than one. Is there a way to sell more still, or even a merchant with with a low enough minimum sell % and/or a high enough maximum gs (gold per sale)?
Cheers guys, and I hope that answers all your current needs, Ame78.
Oh, and the only real differences for PS3 is it has no extra content and only comes with the expansions. Though that's only a good thing that we get the expansions free, but I guess that's kinda an attempt at balancing out for the lack of content maybe. I really hate when they do that. The 360 one had many screwy glitches, such as with the Umbra quest, where as PS3 don't. Yet they still screw us over with no extra content. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just Australia that doesn't get the content either though. Damn Sony and their screwing us non-Americans over. | Dantie Neit 25/01/2010 12:50 | | Hi guys, thank you all for sharing your experience over this site is really usefull and interesting.
I have a simple question: once you have joined a guild it's possibile to leave it?
I joined the dark brotherood for mistake (I mean, I didn't meant to kill Rufio... I hoped it was possible to advise him about the death warranth over his head) and now I don't know how to leave it. should I kill somebody of the guild? Stole some object? (I know that that works for the mage guild actually).
Same thing for the Fighter Guild ; I even try to kill Azzan in Anvil but the only thing that I obtained was to been jailed for aggression, and when i come back Azzan talk to me as nothing happen....
It's nothing important I mean but the thing is that it sound strange to me that my character is membre of four guild at the same time.....
Thanks
Ps
I don't know if it' important but i'm playing oblivion on the PS3.... | Ame78 19/01/2010 18:18 |  | hey i first played oblivion about a year ago and i loved it. its so much fun and i beat it. then my sister got and i created a file and beat it once more then i got it and i tryed to get on my other files because they were still on my hardrive on the 360 and its says "this save relies on content that is no longer here. would you like to load." and so i installed the expanshin pack and tryed it again and it said the same thing but it was allready installed so i had to make a new file im so POed if you have in advice on why it did that please send me something at (sneekmaster626@hotmail.com) thanks | oblivion626 07/01/2010 20:42 | | I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our game guide for this resource. This is my second time through as my original hard drive decided it would rather be a bookend and I lost my character. Unlike Morrowind, I was still very much playing and exploring when my xbox went to that big electronic junk pile in the sky, so it is helpful to have some reference while bringing my character back to life. Now that I've finished the main quest and the mage's guild quest, I need to re-load the Shivering Isles and become the madgod again. I'm seriously hoping that there will be an Elder Scrolls V because I'm not done with this world yet. | Margaretgamer 01/01/2010 04:08 |  | shorty: There is a walkthrough description on the right hand side of this page but anytime you go through an Oblivion gate, you need to get into what is usually the biggest tower. It is also the one that has a fiery cross in the top. Sometimes you have to go up through side towers first, other times you have to find passages beneath them to access the front doors or find levers to pull to open gates to get to them. It's a great game for those who like to solve puzzles. Just remember your detailed map. If you can't find a door by looking for it directly, it will usually appear on your map if you've gone anywhere near it. Good luck and enjoy.

The Thief is a new class that is only available in the South Korean version. They
are agile, dagger-wielding dark elves that specialize in high-speed attacks and
aerial combat. www.mmogold.net The class is currently under development and
was revealed at the 2009 Dungeon & Fighter Festival.[11]
Thieves are able to advance to one of four forms (currently 2). Rogues specialize
in close-range combat and are skilled at dodging. Necromancers make use of the dark
powers inherited from their dark elven blood, and are able to do battle with the
aid of an undead servant. www.mmogold.net Kunoichi (not yet released) move
quickly and utilize long-range and wide-area magic spells. Shadow Dancers (not yet
released) rely on stealth and assassination techniques. Upon reaching level 48, the
classes can further advance to Silver Moon, and Death Bringer classes respectively.
www.mmogold.net
Areas
A player starts out in a town every time he logs onto a server. NPCs sell items,
buy things from the player, give quests, fix equipment, etc.
In every town there is a "Seria's". It is marked with a two white stone statues on
both sides of the doorway. In here, a girl named Seria gives some quests and sells
items and avatar accessories that require money counted in Seras. Seras are
converted from real money or obtained free of charge from some special events.
There is also a safe (stores up to eight different items, www.mmogold.net as
long as their total weight is below 8 kg, however the safe can be upgraded holding
more items, and also unlimited weight) and a Mailbox (used to send messages and
items to other characters/players.)
In every town there is at least one area where when a character walks off the
screen, the player will enter a dungeon selection mode. When in a dungeon,
www.mmogold.net each room you enter will decrease your fatigue by 1. Each
character has 156 fatigue to spend each day. If you run out of fatigue in the
middle of a dungeon, you may continue to clear as many rooms as you wish until you
either die or finish the dungeon. Without fatigue, a character can still walk
around town and do PVP.
| mary wang 10/12/2009 13:36 | | Priest
The Priest is a heavy melee class, preferring to combine the power of raw offense
with raw defense at the expense of speed and attack range. They also can choose
from a basic healing spell and a couple of other ability increasing spells.
Promoted priests can take several forms.
Crusaders are the full support class in the game. www.mmogold.net They have a
large variety of buff spells and healing spells to support their teammates.
However, they can also fight effectively by using their own buffs to increase their
combat abilities at the expense of being able to support the team.
www.mmogold.net Crusaders are the only other class aside from the Asura that
specializes in wearing Plate Armor, the heaviest in the game.
Monks specialize in high speed melee combat. They gain high mobility in the form of
the ducking and swaying techniques from boxing. Since Monks gain mobility skills at
level 20, www.mmogold.net it is advised for players levelling a Monk to reach
20 first before promoting so that they do not have a hard time levelling to 20
without it. www.mmogold.net Monks can drive different weapons into the ground
to form a ring that grants appropriate buffs including, but not limited to, attack
speed, hit recovery, and movement speed as long as the Monk is within it. The totem
is the most popular weapon to form the ring with because it is the one that grants
the attack speed buff when driven into the ground. With the ring in place, Monks
gain access to special boxing techniques along with high speed dashing to quickly
overwhelm their opponents. www.mmogold.net The weapon can be removed from the
ground for repositioning, at which the Monk will be unable to use his boxing
techniques until it is in place again. In trade off for the speed, Monks sacrifice
the ability to perform extended combos and rely on landing more individual strikes.
Their movements are often confusing to new players but it should be noted that
their ducking and swaying will always travel in a set pattern and can be countered
by experienced players, especially those who play Exorcists. Monks wear Light Armor
for more hit recovery passive bonuses. They can be visually identified by their
glowing blue hands.
Exorcists are able to output the highest damage in the game at the equal expense of
having the slowest movement speed in the game. They are feared for being able to
end fights with simply two or three combos, as well as being unable to win against
faster opponents because they cannot catch them. In PvP, www.mmogold.net they
often spend the vast majority of the match chasing the fleeing opponent down
because to be caught by an Exorcist means certain death. They specialize in Super
Armor, which prevents enemy attacks from causing interruptions. This allows the
Exorcist to enjoy an immense advantage by comboing through an opponent's attacks
even when simply trading blows. www.mmogold.net Exorcists can choose to
integrate magic into their playstyle for an easier time trapping and pressuring the
opponent from a mid range distance, or to focus on raw physical damage output.
These playstyles are categorized by players as Magic Exorcists and Physical
Exorcists. www.mmogold.net Exorcists specialize in Heavy Armor and can be
visually identified by a fiery familiar floating behind them.
Avengers (currently not available in north america) transform their bodies into
demons, making them physically stronger at the cost of reducing speed.
With the exception of Monks, www.mmogold.net priests are generally advised to
invest in equipment that grants movement speed bonuses to compensate for their slow
movement speed. Once properly geared, catching faster players becomes much easier,
though certain matchups will always be difficult such as Elementalist vs Exorcist. | mary wang 10/12/2009 13:36 | | Mage
The Mage are the smallest in terms of physical stature, but wield considerable
powers by using magic. They have the third fastest movement speed in the game.
Their defensive power is the weakest, but is partly offset by the use of a Mana
Shield, which mitigates incoming damage by draining some mana points instead of
health points. Their offensive power is powerful, but difficult to land. They come
from the magical world of Pandemonium.
Promoted magicians can take several forms.
Elementalist control the four elements Fire , Water , Light , and Darkness .They
are the ranged spellcasters of this game and are able to effectively fill the
screen with projectiles. www.mmogold.net They have a solid defense in the
ability to teleport away from an opponent once every 30 seconds and the ability to
create walls of ice. Their magic spells comes in many forms and each travels in a
different pattern. By casting a specific pattern of spells, they are able to create
a confusing web of dangerous magic to halt any enemy advance. www.mmogold.net
With their ability to hit targets from any distance and their fast movement speed,
Elementalists are a powerful opponent in PvP.
Summoners are mages who specialize in summoning minions to help them in battle.
www.mmogold.net The summoned creatures have a timed duration and the artificial
intelligence is lacking, which makes them very difficult to use in PvP situations.
Most importantly, PvP further restricts the duration of skills and their
effectiveness; in PvP, the summons function for only a fraction of their PvE
duration. In PvE, Summoners are received with mixed feelings. Though the summoned
minions are extremely helpful and last long in PvE, but they tend to obscure other
players' sight since they cover up the screen.
Battle Mages specialize in melee attacks and gains significant mobility to perform
well in melee combat. They are the most popular class in South Korea because of the
offensive power they have and the tools they are given to land it with accuracy.
With the cancelling of a Blademaster and the mobility of a Monk, they are able to
deal heavy damage with the additional use of chasers. Chasers are magical orbs
created by the Battle Mage. www.mmogold.net They follow behind the player
automatically and can be used to extend normal combos through manual input of the
player. By using the chasers effectively, the player can create a devastating
improvised combos that would not normally chain together. Each chaser has its own
elemental property as well and grants an appropriate buff to the player after
successfully hitting the opponent. www.mmogold.net While Battle Mages have
enormous offensive power, they are still Mages so they lack overall survivability.
Battle Mages can be visually identified by their stance. Their hands are at their
sides when standing still; others have them behind their backs.
Witches use a powerful variety of random chance magical spells and gains extreme
mobility with the ability to air dash on their class weapon, the broomstick. The
air dash also enables Witches to perform air combos effectively. Additionally,
Witches gain massive area of effect spells along with high damage single target
abilities. www.mmogold.net Unfortunately, they all rely on chance to be casted
successfully. When successful, Witches are able to greatly restrict their
opponents' movement as well as deal powerful damage to them. Witches can be
visually identified by their broom, www.mmogold.net which follows behind them.
Upon reaching level 48, the classes can further advance to Archmage, Gaia,
Bellatrix, and Sorceress respectively.
| mary wang 10/12/2009 13:36 | | Gunner
The Gunner is a tall, gun-wielding character class. They have the second fastest
movement speed as well as a higher jump, and a unique sliding attack that also
dodges certain attacks. www.mmogold.net With these tools, they are known for
their ability to escape danger easily as well as being extremely popular in PvP.
They come from another country (the "Sky Realm") where magic does not exist and
have therefore developed technology to compensate for it. Gunner is currently the
only class available in both genders(Not yet implemented in North American Version.
Only Male version is available.)
Promoted gunners can take several forms.
Through a quest to master sharpshooting, a gunner can become a Ranger. Rangers are
a stylish sort of gunner, specializing in using revolvers or, unconventionally,
handcannons. www.mmogold.net They excel in melee combat by cancelling their
melee abilities into ranged attacks to setup big combos. www.mmogold.net Their
ability to fight in any range effectively makes them very popular to use in PvP.
They wear Leather Armor for passive attack speed bonuses. Rangers can be visually
identified by the cigarette in their mouths.
Through a quest to specialize in heavy weapons, a gunner can become a Launcher.
With an assortment of guns such as the gatling gun, flame thrower, missile, and
laser rifle, they are able to fight very effectively at long range (even off screen
by using the player names on the side of the screen). www.mmogold.net While
they do not have many tools for melee combat, they are particularly fearsome in
combos because of the firepower contained in a single attack. Launchers specialize
in handcannons for the raw physical attack power. They can be visually identified
by the large guns slung behind their backs.
Through a quest to learn robotics, a gunner can become a Mechanic. Mechanics are
considered to be the PvP summoner. They can build robots that single mindedly march
on to destroy their master's opponents, as well as flood the screen with
projectiles from stationary turrets and air support. They wear Cloth Armor for the
mana regeneration, and rely on halting enemy advance by controlling zones with
their robots. Due to the amazing amounts of projectiles and marching robots on the
screen, other players are often intimidated very easily even though Mechanics lack
overall survivability. www.mmogold.net Mechanics tend to use either an autogun
for the highest magical damage, or a bowgun for a hybrid mix of magical and
physical damage. They can be visually identified by the small mechanical assistant
robot floating behind them.
Through a quest to create a special magazine cartridge, a gunner can become a
Spitfire. www.mmogold.net Spitfires specialize in infusing various elements
into bullets and grenades to deal damage over large areas and inflict status
effects. Their playstyle involves trapping the opponent with mines, grenades, and
other AoE abilities. They aim to create knockdowns so that they can follow it up
with a barrage of magic infused bullets to a downed opponent. This "cheese"
strategy coupled with their amazing damage output has created negative sentiment
towards Spitfires. A Spitfire's weapon of choice is either a bowgun to increase the
burst damage from the barrage or a musket to increase the efficiency of the imbued
bullet shots. www.mmogold.net They can be visually identified by the special
cross-shaped magazine cartridges behind their hips.
Upon reaching level 48, the classes can further advance to Desperado, Blaster,
Metalheart, and Viper respectively. | mary wang 10/12/2009 13:35 | | Fighter
The Fighter is a close-range brawler class. They possess powerful offense, good
defense, and the fastest movement speed in the game at the expense of attack range.
Fighters use gauntlets, knuckles, claws (similar to serrated patas), tonfas, and
boxing gloves. A male version of the Fighter class is currently in development.
Promoted fighters can take several forms.
Through an advancement quest to master the art of Nen, the Fighter can become a Nen
Master. Nen Masters support their teammates and primarily use ranged attacks in the
form of projectiles. They have a mix of good defensive abilities to protect
themselves as well as offensive abilities to put pressure on their opponents.
www.mmogold.net With an assortment of melee and ranged skills, Nen Masters do
not have trouble fighting at any distance though their damage output isn't as
impressive as other classes. Like the Soul Bender, the Nen Master plays a defensive
style to attack opponents from safety while possessing several melee techniques if
needed. Nen Masters can be visually identified by the subtle aura emitting from
their bodies.
Strikers are martial artists who have powered up melee attacks and improved reach.
Strikers are an offensive class designed to inflict large damage in a short amount
of time primarily through melee attacks. www.mmogold.net While effective
at trading hits, they aim to land a single combo instead due to the huge damage
output from their skills. They also have survivability in the form of a Super Armor
buff, which prevents enemy attacks from interrupting their own.
Brawlers inflict status effects and specialize in handicapping the other player.
They can blind the other player, which reduces his visible range, poison, confuse,
etc... Brawlers can also mount fallen opponents to deal guaranteed damage and
always outputs extra damage to opponents who are under a status ailment.
www.mmogold.net With the ability to throw mid-range projectiles and to reel
opponents in from long distance, Brawlers are generally able to fight from a
favorable position throughout the match. Brawlers can be visually identified by the
scars on their limbs.
Grapplers trade survivability and attack range for raw damage in the form of throws
and are the glass cannons of this class. They have the strongest wake up game
(attacking a downed opponent) because of their many different types of throws and
even possesses a throw that draws the enemy in. If the opponent isn't experienced
with the use of Quick Rebound, an opportunistic Grappler will swiftly finish the
match. By chaining throws together, Grapplers are able to deal immense amounts of
damage. Grapplers can be visually identified by the long headband they wear.
Upon reaching level 48, the classes can further advance to Blazing Flower,
Champion, Hellcat, and Tornado respectively. | mary wang 10/12/2009 13:34 | | Kudos to the creator of this site! I have used it frequently to get through the toughest parts of the game. However, it would be nice to see locations of collections of alchemical ingredients. If you would be so kind to list the general areas where they may be found I'm sure we would all appreciate it.
I got kicked out of the mages guild and needed to find 20 Dragon Tongues and 20 Redwort Petals. Where in the guide can we find answers to these questions?
Thanks again. | xmaassr 09/12/2009 16:23 | |
