Restoration Trainers

[Nezkeys]

where the bloody hell are they? I read the wiki and visited like 4 chapels and in 3 of them couldnt find the npcs. In the one i did find the npc there was no training option :(

I'm level 50 I havent used any trainers for this skill yet

So you read uesp. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Restoration_Training
You can find description about dead trainers.

Are you sure they are offering their services? They are not always available to train you at all hours.

I stood there "waiting" for 24 hours (2 hours each time) in one of the chapels and that npc never even offered it. Then I couldnt find one of the others. I think sometimes they walk in otehr areas outside the chapel. Eventually I just trained some other stats couldnt be bothered lol il just spam heals on an npc in future haha

Well that is odd, are you using any mods that would prevent them from offering services?

Maybe it's because Marz is an advanced trainer and maybe you need to be a certain skill level. Try finding one of the lower skilled trainers Cirroc in Bruma or Marie Palielle in Skingrad.

If you can't find them use console to figure out where they are.

It's been a long time since I played Oblivion, but have you tried going to Anvil and speaking to the Prophet to join the Nine Divines faction? I don't think it mattered before, but perhaps being in the faction will help. At least you will be able to explore the sleeping areas as a member to help find the trainers.

I am not sure if you are aware of this, but if you want to level up restoration quickly, make a custom spell at the Arcane University with something like Restore Stamina 1 pt for 1 second on self then hold block and spam cast the spell.

The multiplier for restoration XP is a really low 0.6 per cast, while most other magic is 3.0+. I used the Construction Set to modify it myself to 1.8, which is triple the normal rate, because 0.6 was ridiculously low and you are to dependant on trainers or long spam cast sessions to increase it.

The same goes for Mercantile.

Yeah I put Restoration as a major sadly. I didnt think it would take so long to level up 1 level at higher levels. Once ive maxed all my stats I was trying to avoid standing in town bartering or spam casting something to level up....because in the end restoration is gonna be one of the majors not maxed lets face it...and to keep levelling up im gonna have to level it up. Im on ps3 anyway so cant do those commands.

in hindsight now i would have swapped with something else. The build i used has been pretty effective for efficient levelling but i am kinda aware that at some point when all my attributes are maxed Im gonna be left with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ skill in my majors to carry on levelling up. I'm only level 15 but ive already put 250 hours into the game so restarting will just demoralize me lol. Theres a few things i would have changed. I remember asking about this specifically before I started and most people were just saying go with what skills you like best and not really saying anything about restoration being hard to level later sadly

My build is a breton mage with conjuration/destruction/restoration/illusion/mysticism/sneak/light armor as major skills. The annoying thing is though to get endurance efficiently levelled I have been wearing heavy armor. All the best gear is heavy armor too so far even for a mage. Heavy armor is now 100 and so as not to "waste" level ups ive now switched to light armor so all that heavy armor is just being wasted now. I didnt really wanna play as a battlemage I wanted to to just conjure stuff and fire spells from a distance. Unfortunately oblivion doesnt let you play that way if you wanna effeicent level cause of the retarded 5 train limit
