print me100 Sneak
I read a few of the other tips. The way I did it was using the rubber band trick. (Making both analogs face inwards with a rubber band wrapped on them) I then went into a chapel, cannot remember which one. When night came around I was in someone's room and they asked me to leave. I began to sneak by spinning in circles. A few seconds later another person arrived. Eventually they pushed me into the hallway where it was dark, but they were still there asking me to leave. I Mastered sneak this way and figured that is a safer way then being in a dangerous location. I have yet to duplicate this but if anyone can verify it for me that would be great.
print meAlteration skill
You can just continually use open door magic on any lockable item(door, chest, crate, jewelry box, and others) and eventually you will get your skill to 100.
print meBeing taght skills
Several people have asked me why they can only learn skills from people at certain times. I am here to clear this up. You can learn skills 5 times each level. Each time you level up, the amount you can learn resets. I suggest learning difficult skills that are hard to level up.
print meBoots of The Crusader
When you enter the grove of Kynareth, a huge bear will appear and attack you. DO NOT ATTACK! If you know how, go invisible. Otherwise, put your shield up. A message will appear onscreen saying a cave opened. Go into the cave and you can get the boots. (The spriggans inside are nice.)
print meBUSTIN OUT
Before you do this you might want to sleep to restore health and other stats. If you get stuck in jail all you do is punch/attack your cell mate
keep fighting and soon a gaurd opens the cell door. It is easier to go to options gameplay and turn the difficulty down to make sure you win against the cell mate & gaurd. After this loot the gaurd to get his weapons and armour and walk free. NOTE soon after getting free and being
a good citizen you get your stuff back.
You might want to turn the difficulty back up.
print meDark Brotherhood
To join the Dark Brotherhood, a group of assassins, murder a couple people for no reason until the game says "Yor murder has been observed by forces unknown." Then, go to sleep. A guy in a black robe will visit you. He'll ask you a couple questions. Say nice things and he will tell you to kill someone. Kill them and go to sleep again. He will visit you again and let you into the Dark Brotherhood.
print meDead Troll
Head out to the Panther River southeast of Bravil, underneath the first bridge you will find a dead troll with a suicide note upon looting the body.
~The troll is lying face down in the water.
print meDisplay cases
At Rosethorn Manor, you can get display cases. To put stuff into them, open the menu, go to the item, and press and hold L2. It will appear in front of you. Holding L2, manuever it into the case. This way you can store things in a cool but safe way.
print meduplacation with 1 item
Get 2 or more scrolls and 1 item you really want to dulacate. Then get 2 of the same item, (anything). Drop one of the 2 and let it hit the ground. Go into your inventory then click on the scrolls. Then drop the item you want to dulacate.
Have Fun!
print meEarly Ebony and Umbra Sword
Be sure to have lots of healing potions/spells.
After exiting the sewers from prison at the beginning of the game, head around the main road that circles the Imperial City.
Near Old Bridge, there is a ruins that begin with a 'K'. Inside is a girl named Umbra. She is extremely strong and will kill you easily at low levels.
Attack her, and let her start chasing you. She will follow you until you or she dies. Lead her to the Imperial City and guards will attack her.
In the Talos Plaza District, jump into the statue garden in the center, and she can't hit you. Her attacks will remain focused on you, while the guards kill her.
When she is dead, loot her corpse. She has full Ebony Armor, and Umbra, a longsword with the Soul Trap spell in it.
print meeasy 100 sneak
some people in oblivion dont report pickpocketing to heres your best chance to get 100 sneak go to imperial city and go to the house next to the one for sale(or your house if you have bought it)and the house should belong to someone named christophe(excuse my spelling) and then pickpocket him he will not report pickpocketing and he has a pretty decent weapon...(he sleeps during the daytime because he does thieve guild meetings and midnight)
print meEasy Killing
When you want to kill some really hard guy because of his wep, just go to OPTIONS and go to GAMEPLAY. Then change GAME DIFFICULTY to very low (put it all the way back if I were you). And there you go, you can kill any one!
print meEasy Lock Picking
When attempting to open a lock, press Square and X at the same time. This makes it auto-attempt and stops you from breaking the lock picks.
print meEasy Money
After you join the blades (just do the main story line) get a least 1 weapon ( i took their katana) then go to any store that sells books, buy at least 2 of the same book (they have a little blue dot under them) then go to the the impraeil market(fast travel) then go to the stonewall shields. do the duplicate trick on the katana and get at least 9000 g. then buy the tower of nine. then duplicate it and the merchants will buy it form u at 1000g a piece gl
print meEasy money
Okay, if you are in the thieves guild and want to sell a lot of stuff to gain a lot of money to start your missions. Go to Trenus Duronis house that is located in Imperial
City's Temple district. He is a drug addict so is barely in his house at night, and if he is, he doesn't care. His house is full of stuff to steal that you can sell to the thieves guild.
print meEasy Money
When anybody dies; enemy or ally, always take any money or potions. Even if its not a lot, it adds up quickly.
print meEasy way to pick locks.
Me and my sister use this to pick locks constantly! when you get up to the pick lock screen. you go to one of the bars and press up and pause it quick. If you look at the bar it may be half way up if not unpause and dont do anything until it goes back down. Keep tring to pause it when it is half way up. when you do press X 2 times Really fast on Resume and you should get the bar unlocked keep doing this to all the bars are unlocked (if there is any).
P.S. This is not a glitch. It could fail if you don't do it fast enough or if you don't have the bar at least half way up)(not to close or to far away.) please verify me if this works! Plz!

print meEnemies and Loot
Enemies and loot eventually re-spawn over a period of 48 hours or more, so right after you loot out a joint be sure to stop by 2 to 3 days later for some more loot.
print meFast Money
In order for this trick to work you must have completed the 2 previous quests Mazoga the Orc and Knights of the White Stallion. After doing so the Count of Leyawiin will give you 100 septims for every Black Bow you recover from Black Bow Bandits. Black Bow Bandits can by found at Telepe, Rockmill Cave, and Undertow Cavern. Rockmill Cave has the most with 20 Black Bow Bandits, that's an easy 2,000 septims!
print meFin Gleam
Fin Gleam is an enchanted glass helmet with detects life, night eye, and water breathing enchantments. You can find it on a small island slightly west of Anvil near the shore; it is underwater near a dead skeleton.
print meFine Steel Longsword
You can find a Fine Steel Longsword on the broken 2nd level of Fort Coldcorn; next to it is a chest with some loot and a note. The note will say,”The sword leads the way. Half a mile. It’s just past the big rock on the Right.” Hopefully you didn't grab or bump the sword on your way up because it was pointing in the direction on the hidden treasure. Follow the directions from the note and find your treasure!
print megetting out of jail
when in jail you get a chance to pickpocket the guard as he gos by most of the time u get away with it and if you dont just kill him and take his keys (for the evidence chest )
print meGiant Mud Crab
To find the Giant Mud Crab simply head out to Greenmead Cave and explore the whole cave until you get to the Inky Grottos section of the cave. There you will find the Giant Mud Crab, good luck!
~Keep in mind the Giant Mud Crab is very weak despite its large size.
print meGiant Ninroots
1.) The 1st can be found in the vicinity of "k" in "Skingrad", check your map to find it.
2.) The 2nd can be found in the vicinity of "h" in "Kvatch", check your map to find it.
3.) The 3rd and 4th can be found near the pond around Shardrock.
print meGiant Skull
A giant skull can be found at the base of a statue at Fort Redman in the Hall of Judges section.
print meGiant Slaughterfish
You can find the Giant Slaughterfish by going to the Niben Bay near the vicinity of "a" in "Bay". Their underwater will be a passage that leads to the Giant Slaughterfish.
~Be prepared by having a water-breathing spell and some good armor because this guy puts up a good fight.
print meHorses
If you are riding on a horse, DO NOT LET IT DIE/FAINT! Because if it does, it is instant death.
print meHow to carry a lot of stuff
Some of my friends have been complaining about weight. To carry more stuff, enchant your armor with faether magic.
print meIncrease Alteration
There is a manor in Anvil in which there is a hidden room in the basement that only a member of the family who sold you the manor can open. You may attempt to cast any spells that unlocks doors on the "portal" on the wall (but it will never unlock). However, even failing will increase your alteration skill and eventually you can reach 100.
print meincrease speech craft
Nobody cares about speech craft but if you do then this will help
Find a random imperial guard and start to persuade them and keep tapping X and spinning the left analog either clockwise or anti-clockwise no difference.
it will increase your speech craft much faster.
print meIncrease your armor skills
Here are some tips on how to increase your armor faster
In general, to gain Armorer skill be sure to carry multiple repair hammers every time you go adventuring and repair everything you possibly can.
Repair your own armor and weapons after each fight (even if the health is at 99%).
Repair your fallen enemies' items even if you're not going to carry them with you afterwards.
When fighting a weak enemy, be sure to let them hit you a few times instead of immediately killing them.
Bows are damaged with every shot (even if you don't hit any target): fire your bow into a door or practice target, and repair it after every shot. (If you are firing at inanimate objects, you will not gain any marksman experience).
print meINDEPENDENT THIEVERY
If you join the thieves guild, you need to sell a certain amount of stuff to get missions. Here are the amount of money you need to sell to get missions.
Pickpocket= 50= Untaxing the Poor
Footpad= 100= The Elven Maiden
Bandit= 200= Ahdarji's Heirloom
Prowler= 300= Misdirection
Cat Burglar= 400= Lost Histories
500= Taking Care of Lex
Shadowfoot= 600= Turning a Blind Eye
700= Arrow of Extrication
Master Thief= 800= Boots of Springheel Jak
1,000= The Ultimate Heist
print meMace of Zenithar
I forgot this in the other mace tip, but as soon as you leave the undercroft, some pretty strong warriors will ambush the chapel. Try to kill them without ANY casualties. This will prove useful also.
print meMaking your own spells
When you get recommendations from all the city Mage Guilds, you can go the the Arcane University in the Imperial City. One cool thing you can do is create custom spells. If you know any unlocking spells, you can make stronger ones you don't know. Same thing goes for any other spell. Basically, you can ultimatize any spell you know.
print meMoney!!!!!!!!
When you join the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, or any other Guild, you can take most of the stuff legally. Then you can turn around and sell them right back to them or other shops. The alchemy items( alembics, mortar & pestle, calcinator, and retort) sell for quite a bit, and they respawn after a while, so you can have an infinite amount of them at your disposal.
print meNearly Full Set of Chainmail Armor
To get this set you must go to Bruma and start the mission Two Sides of the Coin by speaking to Arnora after rumors circulate about a husband stealing his wife's money. Follow all the guidelines supplied throughout the quest until you get to the part where you're supposed to kill Arnora. Once you confront her she will give you an option to show Jorundr her amulet in exchange for her life and half of his treasure, agree to do it her way. Show the amulet to Jorundr and he will tell you the location of his treasure, follow the arrow to the treasure where you will find a corrupt guard named Tyrellius Logellus. He will have a short conversation with you and then attack; once you kill him you can loot his body for a nearly full set of Chainmail Armor just missing the helmet, it also comes with a Silver Longsword. Then go to the chest and collect your loot to end the mission.
~This is a great opportunity to get this rare set of armor early in the game, Chainmail Armor usually doesn't start appearing until about level 8.
print meQuick armour
After you have completed the part through the sewers and you get to chose were to go (Free Roam) locate the inn across the bridge and there is a soldier inside if you kill him you will get some very decent armour.

print meQuick leveling up
When you are asked what class you want to be, make a custom class. Then make your major skills ones that are easy to level up. This way, you can get your health, magic, fatigue, and the amount you carry up quickly.
print meRaising duel skills
I have noticed that while rasing Conjured creatures you can also raise your blade skill. This is something I just noticed and it will need more research to make sure.
- I summoned a scamp and then fought him with a an Elven Longsword. They scamp will do some damage on you by casting spells and stunning you. You could most likely block and raise your blocking skill also.
- I also got gains to my light armor skill to from the scamp hitting me.
Again this needs more research but I wanted to throwh this tip out there.
Again...Summon (any creature may work I used a Scamp) then hit once with sword...block for gains on Block skill and light armor or slash away and watch the gains. *crosses fingers*
Let me know if this works for anyone else.
print meRestoring the Knights
Most of the people you talk to near the Crusader items will go to the Priory. Meet them there and let them join. This will prove useful later on.
print meSee through walls
Make sure you have a magic staff, and reduce it's status to zero. Attack a wall, and you should be able to see whats on the other side.
print meSee through water
If you position yourself right where the air meter pops up, you can see underwater.
print meStealing from blind NPCS
I tested this on armor only, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work for any item if it's large enough for your atavism to collide with it.
First off, go to any armor shop that has a piece of armor on display that you want. Jump up onto the shop keep's counter and just run into and knock the armor item off the counter. This is not illegal and noone will even care. Next, keep kicking it by running into it multiple times until you have the item in a corner away from the view of the shop keeper.
The shop owner will actually follow you around the shop while you run about. Get him/her to follow you to the opposite end of the store, then quickly run back to where you placed the armor item. Use the sneak ability and pick it up before they see you. Done.
print meSTRENGTH(carry lots)
go into the realm ot oblivian. before you take the sigil stone save the game then pick up the stone and check its enchanting abillity what your looking for is fortify strength by 12 points if its not that ability then just load where you saved and take the stone again and check its ability again keep doing this until you get the desired stone.now you can use the duplicate cheat to make as many of the stones as you want then enchant your armer with them even your shield.if you enchant a full set of armer your strength will go to around 780 and you will be able to carry alot of stuff(seriously alot)
NOTE:enchant armer u like wearing because when u have alot of stuff and u take ur armer off your strength will drop to what it once was and u will get over encumbered(just make sure u keep some spare of these stones incase u get new armer and u can enchant them too)
If u want to do this fast dublicate invisibility potions or scrolls and keep using them in oblivian so u dont have to waste ur time fighting to get to the sigil stone.;-)
print meThe Gauntlets of The Crusader
Just like with the Mace, go to the chapel of Layawiin or Chorrol. Go through the middle door downstairs and find a dark-skinned guy(can't remember his name). Talk about all the options. Go back upstairs and talk to the priests. They will tell you of that guy's curse. Go talk to him again. Go talk to the priests again. Now go to altar in the middle and pray. Say yes to the question. Go talk to the cursed guy again and he will run around a little. Talk to him again after he stops. Go talk to the priests and get the gauntlets off the ground. Now you have the gauntlets.(The curse is pretty much unnoticable.)
print meThe Mace of Zenithar
To get the Mace of Zenithar, go to either the chapel in Layawiin or Chorrol, I can't remember which one. Go into the undercroft. Go straight ahead and you will see a tomb. Activate it. You will be teleported to a chamber with the mace in the distance. There is a huge gap. You have to have on the Boots of the Crusader to go across(Follow my other tip to get those). That's how you get the mace.
print meThe many ways of breaking out of jail
1) Perhaps the simplest of methods, you can pickpocket the guard of his keys that most jails have patrolling (by crouching and hitting "X" when you point at him). You can use the keys to unlock the cell, and make a run for it! (If you are caught pickpocketing, he will open the cell to kill you and you can still escape around him).
2) If you had any before the arrest, you will still have 1 lockpick. You can use this pick on the lock of the gate, however this is perhaps the hardest method since if it breaks you are hopeless. (The "SQUARE + X" at the same time method may work well here.)
3) Good behavior. If you sit on the small stool or chair provided for long enough, the guard just may just let you out.
4) If you chose the astrological sign of "The Tower", you can use the skill "Tower Key" to unlock the cell door. This may be preferred since it only unlocks the cell and the guard will not notice until you actually open it. Note that this will only work if the cell lock is "Average" or less. Most are.
5) If there is another person in the cell with you, if you punch him and start a fight the gaurd will come in to kill you both. Run around the guard and make your getaway. (Whether or not there is another person is set, meaning that if there isn't anyone one time you go to jail in a town, there never will be and if you go to jail and there IS one, he will be there evey time.)
6) Of course, the normal method of sleeping on the bed provided works too, but is not really a jail break.
You can combine any these methods for an even cleaner getaway. For example: if you steal the keys and escape that way, you can save your 1-time cast of "Tower Key" to unlock the Evidence chest and reclaim what you had before the lockup.
print methe white stallion lodge
If you haven't bought your own place then you could get one for free. Its kind of small and you have to share it with someone but still I keep some of my stuff there that I don't want to sell. Go to Leyawin castle and and talk to the count and you get a quest where you have to help this orc. After the quest along w/other rewards both of you also get a key to the White Stallion Lodge. It has 2 beds and you can practice sword techniques along with using your bow and arrows. Its a good temporary house.
print meTip when Stealing Items from Shops
When a merchant isn't looking, crouch down in front of the item you wish to steal. The merchant doesn't see you take it, therefore, no reprecutions
print meTips for Free Items
Free armour:
for free armour, help Martin out of the chapel. Once your out, fast travel to the weynon priory and kill the assassins. Once you did, go to the monastery and kill the assassins that are killing jauffre and then he will tell you to go to a temple. So fast travel there and do whatever it tells you to do. After you in the tempe, jauffre or someone will ask you to join the Blades, accept them and go in side the temple. Find the armoury place and take whatever!
Blade of Woe:
Kill a man without any reason then go to jail and then come back, go to sleep in a inn or a house then you will wake up and a man will come, he will tell you to kill Rufio so he'll give you the blade of Woe!
Akaravi katana:
Okay like I said for free armour, join the blades and juaffre will give you the akaravi katana
Some free items:
Go to jail and get to sneak mode go around the area and repeatedly the sneak level will go high and high, once your a master of sneak go to sleep and wake up back to the city (or village) go back to sneak mode and target someones back, and when the eye is not bright then pickpocket your target.
print meTrainer of Combat
if your the listener for the dark brotherhood you can beat up arquen all day and night long improving your skills and then when you get bored just tell her to yeild and she will (everyone honor the godly listener) but yeah and right after you get near death and such just rest for an hour and begin again.If you wanted to you could get all your skills up that way
I got this help from (mackin) so credits should go to him.
print meTraining Tip
Acrobatics:
To raise your acrobatics find a high spot n jump off.u'll get damage but also extra exp.
Marksman:
Summon a skelleton and shoot at it.Your arrow will bounce right off the skelleton cauze it has no flesh.It al so saves u alot of money.
Light/Heavy armor:

Sneak:
After u bacame a Grand champion of the Arena,An Adoring fan will appear.Ask him to go to ur house then pickpoket him.He doesn't care cauze he IS an adoring fan.Your sneak will rise up real quick to.
print meUltimate Horse
When you get high enough in rank in the Dark Brotherhood, a guy will give you a horse named Shadowmere. This is an undead horse, as in he cannot die, only faint. He can also twice as fast as other horses. DO NOT RIDE ANOTHER HORSE AFTER YOU GET HIM! If you do, he will leave.
print meVarla Stones
Varla stones can recharge every enchanted weapon in your arsenal at once, they are very rare and worth a 1,000 septims a piece. Something you may want to duplicate because not many are in Oblivion.

print meDuplicating Items
Right - this one works. Simple as that.
*Get two (or more) magic scrolls of the same type.
*Drop all but one of the items you want to duplicate (if you do this, you'll need to press O so you can see it hit the floor)
*Press X (apply/equip) on the magic scroll
*Press [] (drop) on the item you want to duplicate
*Press O to get back to the world and pick up your items.
[Tip]
If you have more than 2 of the same magic scrolls, that is how many duplicates you will create. You still only need to press X on the scroll twice though.
You can duplicate magic scrolls as well, so you could be duplicating things by 10 or 20 at a time, rather than just 2.
print meEasier Cloning
You don't need to go to the menu half way through your punch.
All you need to do is click the scroll that you have multiple of once.
If you have 25 Firebolt scrolls, click it once, and drop the item you want cloned.
The item you drop has to be a single item, you can't drop multiples of them or the glitch won't work.
So when you clone, it drop the clones of you item according to your number of scrolls.
Then pick up one scroll and repeat.
You can clone scrolls too.
I have cloned Fin Gleams and sold then for 800g and Sheilds of the Nine for 1000g.
You cannot clone Ninroot or Armor of Valor.
print meEasy cloning
Normal cloning
1.Get two or more scrolls
2.Equip the scrolls a couple of times
3.drop ONE of the item your cloning

5.hey presto your done
Cloning and selling
1.Get two or more scrolls
2.Equip the scrolls a couple of times
3.drop ONE of the item your cloning
4.pick it up
5.go to a shop with 1000 or 1200 gold
6.sell the item
7.soon you'll be rich
print meEasy pickpocketing
if you know an unkillable person knock him/her out and stand over them in sneak and tap x loads of times .
it takes 5 seconds or so to get up so they will shout but not take it back
print meFree Lorn Arrows
Go to the arena in the Imperial city and watch the blue team archer shoot arrows. Half the time you can go in there, the arrows the archers shoots will be there and you can simply take them without being labelled a thief. Naturally, you may want to save before attempting this.
print meHow to Duplicate
switch weapon to fists.
punch.
before the punch is done open inventory.
go to your books.
select a book that you have multiple of.
(cannot be stolen)
press x on that book as many times as you have it. (it works for me when i click it 5 or 6 times)
then page over to whatever item you wish to duplicate.
drop that item.
then exit inventory.
there should be as many items duplicated as you have multiples of the scroll.
Now certain items will not duplicate, like nirnroots or scrolls.
Also if you have multiples of an item you are duplicating drop all but one of them on the ground before the duplication process. (like arrows for instance)
It just makes things easier.

print meInfinite money
Go to the temple district and find dorians house
get a parylze spell or scroll
bribe dorian
parylze him
tap x straight away
keep tapping on his gold and you'll be a millionare
print meInfinite Money Glitch
This glitch will let you loot Dorian's Body for Infinite Amount of Money.
Okay to start it off, You need to have a Paralyze Spell, you can buy a Debilitate off of Ita Rienus in Bravil for about 142 gold. She is in the basement of the mages guild 'round 6 am to 6 pm.
Soon as you have acquired the spell, and hopefully you have the skill to cast it. Fast Travel to the Imperial City, Talos Plaza. Find Dorian's house, and Enter. Dorian is mostly always home, so you don't have to worry 'bout have to find him in the streets.
Walk up to Dorian, and cast Debilitate on him. Soon as your done casting loot his body, when you loot him you'll find the amount of money on him, will never go down! But its a messily sum of 10k, so its gonna take awhile. To get a nice round sum of 1 mil. So what you should do is loot him a few times, and wait for the spell to were off, he'll stand up and start to attack you.
Just block and yield to him, he'll eventually accept your yeild, when he does talk to him and bribe him till the meter is full. Then use your Debilitate spell on him again, now the amount is up to 20k. Loot to your hearts desire, or wait for him to get up again, and bribe him to max again which will increase the amount on him by another 10k.
Rinse and repeat to your hearts desire.
Small warning thou, while doing this. Don't loot his body while guards are there, your bounty will go up by the same amount of money you stole!
Thats how you use the money glitch, on the Ps3 Version of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
On the Xbox 360 version, it had you kill Dorian, and you'd be stuck with looting only 20k, least on the Ps3 Version all you have to do is Bribe, Paralyze, then loot.
print meItem Duplication
To duplicate your items in the PS3 version of Oblivion do the following:
1) Get two magic scrolls of the same type.
- The scrolls must NOT be stolen
2) Click on the scroll twice.
3) Then drop the item from your inventory that you want duped.
4) Exit inventory and collect your items.
Notes:
- Certain weapons and armor won't work
- The health of the item must be 100 (Get it repaired by an NPC just to be safe)
- The charge on a magical item must be full
print meSneak Master
Sneak Master Glitch
Just like in the PC and 360 version, you can easily get Master Sneak level for some all out plundering and assassinating fun.
To do this, simply find a door that doesn't take you to a loading screen when opening it (Fort Urasek has a perfect place for this). Simply go in to sneak, and walk against the door and your level will increase so long as you are not heard. This means that if you are below Journeyman if you sneak too fast you will be heard. All you'll have to do is sneak off until you hear the fight music turn off, then sneak back over and continue.
I used a paperclip to hold my joystick forward so I didn't have to hold it myself, and checked back once an hour or half hour to hit X when I got to each next Sneak level, and by morning I was a Master.
This opens up plundering fools like no other, as well as most enemies you can keep hitting for 6X damage. If they have high security, or another enemy sees you whacking away at 'em you stand a chance of getting caught, but if you keep sneaking, or better yet put on an invisible spell potion, you can sneak away and they'll lose track of you. I've found that high damage bow and arrow combinations are the best way to never get caught.
