How to boost Acrobatics

Very very quick guide on how to reach 100 acrobatics in about 20 mins.

It doesn't even take long for levels and you can access this right at the start of the game!

Quick Guide

If you are looking to power level your Acrobatics skill very early in the game I may have found a fantastic spot.

If you head to the right as soon as you leave the sewers at the start you will see the "Sideways Cave" head inside.

Walk inside until you get to the the door where the rocks shift out of your way first. Inside is a large flooded room.

To the left of this room there is a short wall with a tree log that stretches up to the upper level of the room. You cannot reach the upper level by climbing this however we want to be there.

Climb to the top of the branch and hit jump. You'll notice you wont go up but you will jump instantly in place. Sit here at the top of the branch and you can spam jump until your acrobatics goes up.

It doesn't even take long for levels and you can access this right at the start of the game!

So word of warning with doing it in this area. The rock that moves to reveal the door can pop back up when you leave the cave thus trapping you there. happened to me this morning and i had to use a console command to get out. thing is, using commands disables achievements which i didn't find out about until 5 hours of play time later.

to make this effortless, do two things:

1) gather/buy/steal as many alchemy mats as you can to make Restore Fatigue potions. you can find it on pretty much any kind of food like bread, cheese, vegetables, etc. Restore Fatigue gives you a constant fatigue regeneration effect, and your fatigue only needs to be above 0 to jump, meaning you have effectively infinite stamina for the duration of the buff. you can raid the Chorrol Mage's Guild for alchemy equipment to give your potions better buff durations. I ate about 50x 32s-duration pots over the course of the grind (Athletics is not one of my primary skills).

2) if you have a controller, go into the Steam Input settings and enable turbo mode for the jump button. you can do this in the in-game overlay as long as the game recognizes your controller. I set the repeat interval to 50.

once you do these two things, go to the spot in the guide, hold your jump button and chug a potion every time the effect wears off.

@liqvidity I have hundreds of hours on the original Oblivion so this isn't really an experience for me as much as it is just another go around on my favourite theme park ride.

You can spend the usual 20+ hours spamming jump everywhere as normal or you can do it for 20 minutes, take the levels, then spam it everywhere anyway lol. This is how bethesda games are played. You do you.

@Yograin you get a flat 12 points that you can split in 3 attributes at a time on level up with no more then 5 points added to an attribute per level up. All that having a skill marked as major or minor does now is determine how much XP you get for increasing that skill and what it starts at.

@Yograin they have changed how levelling works

[Yograin]

Unless they changed how levelling works I dont see why you would want to do this. You only want to skill up enough times to max levelup attribute increase especially with easily levelled skills.

way to ruin the normal experience for yourself...

Don't know why the video won't work. Pretty annoying though. Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkmBqJR1_-I
