To level up in Oblivion Remastered, you need to improve your character's Major and Minor skills through gameplay actions. Here's a detailed breakdown of how to level up effectively:

How Leveling Works

• Skill Improvement: You gain experience by using your skills. For example, swinging a sword increases Blade skill, running improves Athletics, lockpicking raises Security, and so on. Both Major and Minor skills contribute to leveling, but Major skills grant more experience points

• Level Up Threshold: Once your combined skill increases reach a certain threshold (e.g., 10 skill increases), you qualify for a level up. You will see an on-screen notification telling you to rest and meditate on what you've learned

• Rest to Level Up: To actually level up, you must sleep in a bed you own or rent. Simply waiting or passing time won't trigger the level-up screen

Level Up Process

• Virtue Points: Upon leveling, you receive 12 Virtue Points to allocate among your Attributes. You can distribute these points to up to three Attributes per level, with a maximum of +5 points in any one Attribute

• Attributes: The Attributes include Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Personality, and Luck. Luck requires 4 Virtue Points per point added, making it more costly to increase

• Flexible Allocation: Unlike the original Oblivion, Oblivion Remastered allows you to assign Virtue Points regardless of which skills you improved, making it easier to customize your character without penalties

Tips for Efficient Leveling

• Focus on Major Skills: Since Major Skills level faster and contribute more XP, prioritize using and improving these skills to level up faster

• Use Skill Training Spots: For example, to level Block, Light Armor, and Heavy Armor simultaneously, you can use locations like the Haunted Mine where you block attacks from multiple enemies while healing yourself to improve Restoration

• Repair to Level Armorer: Repairing your armor with repair hammers also increases your Armorer skill, so keep some repair hammers handy or use duplication glitches if available

• Monitor Skill Ranks: Skills have ranks from Novice to Master, unlocking abilities as you progress. Keep an eye on your skill ranks to unlock new perks

Summary

1. Use your Major and Minor skills actively to gain skill increases.
2. After enough skill increases, sleep in a bed to trigger the level-up screen.
3. Allocate 12 Virtue Points to up to three Attributes (max +5 each).
4. Repeat by continuing to improve skills and resting to level up.

This system blends classic Oblivion mechanics with more flexibility and faster leveling, allowing you to tailor your character’s growth more freely
