Oblivion Remastered: Easter Eggs & Secrets

Oblivion Remastered is filled with easter eggs, from pop culture extravaganzas to loving homages to the original 2006 game.

One of the easiest ways to make money in Oblivion Remastered is by selling everything the player finds to merchants. Since Oblivion Remastered has an encumbrance mechanic, a player will need to be careful about what they pick up if they hope to pull a profit from the merchants they sell to.

8 Animal Pelts

A Simple Pelt Sells For A Lot

Buying Bear Pelts - Oblivion Remastered

One of the simplest things players can earn that can then be sold to make an easy bit of money is animal pelts. Players will likely encounter wolves, deer, bears, etc., while they explore the world of Cyrodiil in Oblivion Remastered. Each of these animals is guaranteed to drop their pelt once defeated, making it a promising way for a player to make money.

The weight of these pelts is next to nothing compared to the price of selling them. Therefore, a player should be certain to leave space for the animals they attack during their adventures, as these pelts can be sold to any general store, which the majority of towns in Oblivion Remastered have.

7 Welkynd Stones

Ayleid Ruins Are Filled With Them

How To Get & Use Welkynd Stones In Oblivion Remastered

While exploring the world of Oblivion Remastered, players are certain to encounter an abundance of Ayleid Ruins that litter the wilderness of Cyrodiil. Players who have plenty of free time and aren't focusing on the main story of this RPG should be sure to enter every ruin they find for an easy way to make money.

While exploring these ruins, players will find blue rocks that look similar to soul gems. These are called Welkynd Stones. Although they may be useful to a mage due to them replenishing all the player's magicka, they are even better at being sold. Each gem only weighs one, meaning a player can easily fill their inventory with every gem they see without worrying about them taking too much space.

6 Alchemy Equipment

Alchemy Equipment is another guaranteed way for players to make easy money. Depending on the quality of the equipment, some of these utensils can sell for a lot more, while still weighing similarly.

Despite the power that the Daedric Princes hold in Oblivion Remastered, some of the artifacts that they give to players can be pretty pathetic.

Players who are wondering where in Oblivion Remastered they can find a lot of alchemy equipment to sell should look no further than the Mage's Guild. Once the player has applied to join the Mage's Guild, it is no longer classed as stealing to take the majority of the valuables found within each of the Mage's Guilds across Cyrodiil. Therefore, players can take all the alchemy equipment in these locations and sell it for an easy profit.

5 Spell Scrolls

Weigh A Little While Selling For A Lot

Another thing that can be commonly found in the Mage's Guild, as well as in the various chests players are likely to access during their adventures, are spell scrolls. While these scrolls are perfect for keeping in case of certain combat moments, the light weight of these scrolls also makes them a perfect item for the player to collect so that they can sell them once they arrive in town once more.

The selling cost of these scrolls can vary drastically for Oblivion Remastered, depending on the type of spell scroll the player is trying to sell. Therefore, a player should make sure they pick up every scroll, even if they don't think they'd use it.

4 Alchemical Ingredients

Players Can Carry Plenty To Sell

Another item players should be sure to sell is alchemical ingredients. There is an assortment of alchemical ingredients a player is likely to find during their adventures in this RPG that each has its own unique purpose, so that a player can make an abundance of potions.

Various ingredients in Oblivion have different rarities, which make some of them a lot more valuable than others. Besides rarity, flowers grow almost everywhere, meaning players can also find cheap ingredients, which can also be sold in abundance for an easy amount of money.

3 Weapons And Armor

It's Even Better If Enchanted

Unsurprisingly, one of the best items to sell is weapons and armor. Every humanoid foe a player faces will likely drop a weapon and the armor they are wearing. As players level, the armor and weapons these enemies are using will become stronger, which then also sell for a decent amount of coins.

While regular weapons may sell for a decent amount, especially if they are Daedric or Ebony, players can guarantee even more of a profit for themselves if the items they are selling are enchanted. It is, however, important to make sure the merchant these items are being sold to can afford to buy them.

2 Jewelry

Valuable Gems Are Found Within

Although it can be quite rare to find, jewelry is another great item to sell in Oblivion Remastered. These light but valuable rings come in all sorts of materials that determine the value for which they will sell.

Unlike other games in the franchise, such as Morrowind and Skyrim, the type of material the jewelry is made out of does not also determine the strength of the enchantment, and, therefore, players can easily sell the most valuable rings and necklaces they find without feeling like they need to keep them for enchantments. However, like armor and weapons, these enchanted rings will sell for more.

1 Potions And Poisons

Players Can Make Their Own Potions To Sell

Out of all the items that can be sold in Oblivion Remastered, by far the best and easiest for players to sell if they are hoping to make a lot of money are the variety of potions and poisons. While players can find plenty of potions to sell, some of the easiest money to be made in the game is by the player selling their creations.

By combining cheap ingredients, the player can make plenty of flasks to sell to merchants. A player may wish to take this a step further by maxing out their alchemy skill so that they can make a single-ingredient potion or poison, which allows them to make their ingredients go this step further for even more money.
