Oblivion:Trainers

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

This page provides a list of all the skill trainers in the game of Oblivion. Each of these NPCs can be paid to train a character in the specified skill. This is one of several ways that skills can be increased.

[edit] Notes

• You are limited to purchasing at most five skill increases per level of your character. This limit applies regardless of if you get 1 skill point from 5 different trainers or 5 skill points from 1 trainer. Once you reach your limit, you cannot purchase training until after you next level up.
  • The character statistics/skill menu shows how many times training has been purchased at the character's level (e.g., it will show 0/5 if no training has been purchased).
  • The five per level limitation is counted using your character's actual level (i.e., you can purchase five training lessons between times that you sleep to level up). The effect of the training, however, is applied based upon the level that you would have if you had slept. In other words, if you purchase training after the icon indicating that you are ready to level up appears, the attribute bonuses are applied to the next level (and do not appear the immediate next time you sleep to level up). One implication is that it is actually possible to purchase all ten major skill increases for one level (purchase five after receiving the level up icon, but before sleeping, and the other five after sleeping). However, this is only possible if you forego all training at the first level before the level up icon appears (so you receive zero training at one level, and ten at the next).
• The cost of training is 10 gold per point of your current rank in the skill. Both the cost to train and the limit on whether your skill has surpassed the trainer DO apply any Fortify Skill magical effect currently on your character. Wait for any spells to expire and remove any magical gear that increases your skill before training it.
• You can apply Drain Skill effects to yourself to lower your skill so trainers will train your skills for lower cost. The ranks learned whilst training will still be added to your base skill level. For example, a custom made Drain Skill 100 points for 1 second would render master trainers unnecessary and give your character free training.
• There are two basic (0-40, green), two advanced (0-70, blue) and one master (71-100, red) trainer for each skill (without mods).
  • Athletics, Heavy Armor, and Illusion are exceptions: each only has one advanced trainer, instead of the usual two.
  • Several mods add additional trainers, most of whom do not fit into the standard basic/advanced/master categories. For example, some mod trainers will train from 0-75, instead of 0-70. If the maximum level for training is different, that value is specified in the table.
• Once you get to 70 in a skill, you should have a topic called Training when you talk to either of the two advanced level trainers. Asking about that topic will direct you to the master trainer who will probably have a short quest for you to complete before they will train you.
• Many trainers will only offer training during certain parts of their daily cycle. It may be necessary to follow them around for a while. Check the individual NPC page for each trainer for any known information on the times when they are available to offer services such as training.
• Most trainers can die permanently. Be careful when you are around them and make certain that there are no enemies around your trainers before you leave them.
