All Quests for the Mages Guild in Oblivion Remastered

Oblivion Remastered gives players numerous options when it comes to how they should start their adventure. One such option is for those fascinated with the numerous schools of magic. The Mages Guild questline does not require players to have chosen a magic-focused profession.

Players who choose to be a dedicated warrior or thief can overcome all the obstacles with a magic weapon and some potions. However, those that have chosen to be one of these other options might be more interested in joining the Fighters Guild or the Thieves Guild.

Getting All Mages Guild Recommendations in Oblivion Remastered

For the first 7 tasks of the Mages Guild questline, players will need to visit each of the various Mages Guild buildings. They will find these buildings throughout the game’s numerous cities and need to get a recommendation from each of them in order to join the Mages Guild. After players have accomplished this prerequisite, they will have officially joined the Mages Guild.

All Arcane University Quests in Oblivion Remastered

Once players have gotten their recommendations from each of the Mages Guild buildings, players will achieve the rank of Apprentice — meaning they can start making their own spells. They will also start receiving tasks in a more linear order. Each time they visit the Arcane University, they will need to speak with Raminus Polus to obtain more quests. Below is a list of the quests in the order they will be received:

After completing quests, you will need to speak with Raminus Polus about advancing in the guild before you can undergo your next task. Each time earning an achievement/trophy in the process.

A Mages Staff

Speak with Raminus Polus and select “Tasks” to start this quest.

Kill hostile NPCs.
