In the world of Oblivion Remastered, every enemy you face levels alongside you. The stronger you get, the more potent every threat becomes. To keep up and ensure you have the upper hand, no matter how slight, learning to level up efficiently and quickly in Oblivion Remastered becomes paramount. Thankfully, we’ve been playing this game for 20 years, so there are a few tips we can offer new players!
1. Train your skills manually
2. Fight in the Arena in the Imperial City
3. Speak to Trainers in cities
4. Delve into dungeons
Listen, I won’t judge you if you’d like to immerse yourself in the lands of Cyrodiil to the fullest imaginable. I love immersion in video games. But there’s something about manually training skills in a game that, while immersive and rewarding, is sometimes a step too far.

But hey, don’t let me stop you. In Oblivion Remastered, as mentioned previously, you level up your character by using and leveling your skills. As such, the more you use said skills, the quicker you level. You can shoot your bow and arrow at a target, swing your sword at a target dummy, jump from Skingrad to Anvil—whatever it takes to level fast.
The Arena is one of my favorite ways to earn gold fast and level up quickly, as you work through bouts in an enclosed environment. Every fight you win, you earn gold, and depending on the weapons, armor, and spells you use, you’ll level your skills along the way.
There are beds downstairs below the Arena where, once you do level your skills, you can sleep and level up, too. It’s everything you need in an early-game level farming zone!
As you explore the world, you’ll stumble upon certain characters willing to help you improve your skills. When talking to an NPC, check the dialogue HUD menu, down in the bottom left-hand corner, for the training option. If it’s available, that character will train you in a specific skill for a cost. The higher the skill, the more it costs to train.
It’s worth the price once you have earned a tidy sum of gold, however. The massive boost you’ll receive to your skill is often enough to jump you up a level or, at the very least, put you close to the tipping point.
This is a fantasy RPG! Go ahead and explore every dungeon and point of interest in the game. You’ll find locks to pick, gaps to leap across, and enemies to fight. Remember: Everything you do in Oblivion Remastered translates to experience points for your skills, so spending some time adventuring undergound is a great way to level up faster.
