How to Increase Speechcraft Skill in Oblivion Remastered

In Oblivion Remastered, virtually every action you perform has its corresponding skill that can be honed. This ranges from wielding a sword elegantly to stealthily bypassing guards undetected. Enhancing these skills not only makes your character more proficient but also serves as a means of leveling up. Therefore, it’s advantageous to focus on improving multiple skills whenever possible.

While some skills have clear paths for improvement, others are less straightforward. Speechcraft is one such skill that may leave you wondering about its development. Speechcraft becomes particularly useful when attempting to extract more information from Non-Player Characters (NPCs), as it can sway their mood towards you.

How to Increase Speechcraft Skill in Oblivion Remastered

Enhancing your Speechcraft proficiency can be best achieved by employing persuasion techniques frequently. It’s unnecessary to convince every character in Cyrodiil to boost your Speechcraft level. In fact, you can significantly improve it by continuously engaging with a single character. As you engage in the persuasion mini-game, keep an eye on the NPC’s facial expressions. Performing certain actions will raise their favorability towards you, while others might lower it.

When the Non-Player Character’s disposition falls between 40 to 50 points, you can swiftly accumulate Speechcraft experience by opting for responses that have just one bar. Regardless of whether the NPC dislikes your chosen response, you will typically lose a minimal amount of points. These minor losses can be offset by choosing responses that the NPC favors, which will also have only a single bar or two. Even if the disposition decreases slightly, you will still earn XP towards the next level in Speechcraft. This procedure can be repeated frequently, allowing you to boost your Speechcraft skill swiftly using this approach.

Beyond what’s already mentioned, you might come across ‘expertise manuals’ that instantly boost your Speechcraft proficiency permanently. However, these manuals can be used only once, so to swiftly elevate your Speechcraft level, I recommend following the suggested approach repeatedly.

Speechcraft Skill Trainers & Locations

Similar to other abilities, certain Non-Player Characters (NPCs) can help boost your Speechcraft proficiency. However, the cost of learning from these characters can be high, so if you’re low on gold, it might be wiser to rely on persuasion instead. Here are eight NPCs who can teach you Speechcraft, and this is where you can find them.

NPC Name Location Training Level
Alga Honmund’s House, Bruma Basic
Eris Senim Great Chapel of Mara, Bravil Basic
Urvasa Othrelas Great Chapel of Mara, Bravil Basic
Gruiand Garrana Great Chapel of Arkay, Cheydinhal Advanced
Inius Colus Creat Chapel of Arkay, Cheydinhal Advanced
Jak Silver Dumbarrow Cove Advanced
Varon Vamori Gravil Advanced
Tandilwe Temple of the One, Imperial City Temple District Master

Remember that the trainer’s expertise should match your proficiency level. Therefore, if your Speechcraft skill is still at the Basic level, which is below 40, you won’t be able to learn from Tandilwe as she is a Master.
