Destruction is one of the most popular schools of magic in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, since it's the spellcasting branch that delivers the most hurt using powerful elemental spells that can wreak havoc on the battlefield. Destruction magic is essential to some starting Classes like the Witchhunter, the Spellblade, and the Mage.
Where To Buy Mage Equipment In Oblivion Remastered
Here's where to buy Mage Gear in Oblivion Remastered, including vendors for robes, staves, and other useful items for spellcasters.
And if players want to unlock the most powerful spells in the Destruction School, they need to level it up to Master Rank. But to reach this level is not a small task, so this guide will offer players some insight on how to speed up this process a lot.
How To Level Up Destruction Fast In Oblivion Remastered
One of the easiest ways to level up Destruction in Oblivion Remastered, is to grab lots of Magicka Recovery potions, which can be crafted by combining Flax Seeds (found in central Cyrodiil, especially near Skingrad) and Blackberries (found in Inns, grocery stores), and an Apprentice-level Spell like Flare, then finding enemies like Conjurers, who can summon skeletons endlessly.
Oblivion Remastered: How To Get Apotheosis Staff
The Apotheosis staff is a powerful mage weapon in Oblivion Remastered, and here's how players can get it early on.
Skeletons can be used as target practice and are pretty easy to defeat, and the Flare spell consumes a lot of Magicka and grants lots of experience each time it hits a 'valid target.' There's yet another trick to this: To wear Heavy Armor, since it reduces Spell-Efficiency, making the Flare spell cost even more. And since the game treats magicka consumed per spell as experience value, this will also increase the amount of experience earned.
Adding the effects of the Major Skill, if players picked Destruction as one of their starter skills, be it through a custom class or one of the many spellcasting classes available, this will be doubled. So, players can effectively level up from 10-25 to 75 in Destruction without too many issues.
Now for the last 25 levels (75 to 100) players will want to get loads of Welkynd Stones which can be obtained quite easily using the duplication glitch. Then, they need to search for a Journeyman or Expert-level Destruction Fire spell that consumes 120+ Magicka. Travel to an Oblivion Gate and watch the nearby area for Fire Attronachs. Players need to use the fire spells repeatedly in the Atronachs, since they are immune to Fire, and farm as much experience as they want. They will be at Master Level in no time.
Best Places To Farm Destruction Skill Experience
The following list has some good spots for players to practice their Destruction spells endlessly, while they earn loads of experience without too much risk.
- Fort Caractacus, located on the northern shore of Lake Rumare. It has several Conjurer enemies inside, but watch out for the Invisible Rats and Wolves that are part of the Zero Visibility Quest.
- Oblivion Gates, any one will be good, as long as players keep in mind that scamps and fire atronachs are the ideal targets for endless farming, since they resist fire. There's one North of Skingrad that players can spot easily when completing the Mage's Guild Recommendation Quest.
-
Belda, an Ayleid ruin located on the road between the Imperial City and Cheydinhall. It has several Conjurer enemies, which
