All Trainers and Trainer locations in Oblivion Remastered

Looking for Trainers in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? There are many ways to increase your skills in Oblivion, but the fastest method is by paying a Trainer. There are more than 100 Trainers in Oblivion, with three to seven Trainers for each of the 21 skills. Pay them some gold, and they'll instantly boost the skill by one level.

Beware that the Trainer mustn't just teach the skill you're looking for, but also teach it at the right level, ranging from basic to master. While using a Trainer is easy enough, locating the right person for the job can be incredibly time-consuming. To help you out, here's every Trainer location in Oblivion Remastered, separated by skill type and including their mastery level.

How to use Trainers in Oblivion

Training your skills is quite straightforward, as you can usually walk up to a Trainer, click the 'train' button in the lower left, and purchase the skill upgrade, but there are a few caveats to watch out for. First of all, you can only train five times per level. For example, if you are currently level 1, you can train Restoration two times, Sneak three times, and nothing else until you reach level 2.

Secondly, training isn't free: you must pay 10x your current skill level to train one level. Let's say your current restoration level is 32; training this skill will therefore cost 320 gold. With that in mind, training neglected skills from Oblivion's midgame to endgame is relatively cheap.

Note that training costs are calculated after any enhancement effects, so you may want to unequip items and make sure any skill-boosting spells have worn off before you start training. This also means you can exploit the training mechanic by using magic (especially custom spells) to drain your own skills - got a temporary restoration skill of 0? Now you can train for free!

All Trainers in Oblivion

Most Trainers are found in chapels, inns, shops, and guild halls in and around Cyrodill's major towns. Keep in mind that the majority of Oblivion NPCs aren't stationary; we've included the Trainers' most common locations, but if they aren't there, you may have to wait a few hours. This map shows every Trainer location in Oblivion:

If you're looking for Trainers teaching a specific skill, the location maps below will show you the options. Take note of the Trainer's level and be sure to pick one that fits your current ability:

• Basic Trainer (small dot): Trains skills up to level 40.
• Advanced Trainer (large dot): Trains skills up to level 70.
• Master Trainer (star): Trains skills above level 70.

Beware that you need to complete a small quest to unlock a Master-level Trainer. To obtain the quest, reach level 70 in that skill and speak with an Advanced Trainer.
