How To Repair Equipment Oblivion Remastered

by

In an unexpected release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is now available, and players both old and new are excited to delve into the realm of Cyrodiil. As they journey through this expansive world, there will inevitably come a time when their armor and equipment require immediate repairs.

For newcomers and veterans alike, let me share an extensive tutorial on reviving your armor and equipment to pristine condition within the realm of Oblivion Remastered. Enjoy the journey!

How To Repair Armor In Oblivion Remastered

Players need to be aware that there are two methods for mending their armor within the game. One option involves approaching one of the vendor NPCs (Blacksmiths) found in towns and cities scattered throughout Cyrodiil and requesting repairs from them. The alternative approach is by utilizing a Repair Hammer, an item that has its own durability, which depletes each time it’s struck by magic, ranged, or physical attacks.

Repairing tools like Hammers for fixing equipment can be obtained from Blacksmiths, merchants, or discovered across the game world, often hidden within locked treasure chests. Thus, if gamers are looking for an incentive to improve their lock-picking skills, the chance to uncover more of these Hammers could serve as a great motivator.

It would be risky for players to repair their own armor and weapons when their Armorer Skill is low, as there’s a possibility that the equipment could break instead. Once broken, the gear becomes useless and players must find another way to obtain new or functional equipment to avoid being left unprotected and without weapons.

Even though advancing the Armorer level and acquiring its benefits can only be done by mending armor, the more frequently it’s used, the lower the chances of such advancement become.

Benefits from certain aspects of the Armorer Skill Tree enable players to maximize their Repair Hammer effectiveness. It might be wise to seek out an Armorer Instructor in your local cities or towns to enhance your character’s skill training. Keep in mind that each character can only train 5 times per Level, so make sure to use these opportunities thoughtfully.

The longevity of armor and weapons can negatively impact both their effectiveness and the damage they inflict. Consequently, it’s advisable for players to maintain their gear in excellent condition at all times or, at a minimum, keep it around 80% operational efficiency, to prevent any penalties from occurring.

How To Repair Enchanted Items In Oblivion Remastered

To mend magical artifacts in the remastered version of Oblivion, players must first acquire the Apprentice perk (at level 25) within the Armorer skill tree. This perk enables them to fix items with unique attributes during repairs. However, it’s essential to note that when repairing enchanted items in the game, the system will consider your Armorer level as one lower than your current character level. This could potentially increase the likelihood of your equipment suffering damage when you employ Repair Hammers.

To keep your items safe, consider having Blacksmiths fix them when possible. However, if players find themselves in situations where they must perform repairs on their own, particularly while delving into dungeons, it’s wise to first boost your Armorer skill level to minimize the risk of accidentally damaging your equipment.

It’s more cost-effective to initially focus on Skill Trainers and save up on Repair Hammers, which are less expensive than the Blacksmith service. This way, you can level up your Armorer by repairing common loot like items dropped by Bandits, thereby preserving your valuable gear from damage.
