Summary
Players love finding and using exploits in video games. The originalOblivionhad its fair share of exploits, andElder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredis no different. One such exploitis the duplication glitch.
Some players may say this ruins the experience, and can break how the game is meant to feel. However, players can use this glitch to greatly enhance their experience. This can be seen as the same as howsome mobile game players make microtransactionsto speed things up, or enhance existing elements.
7Arrows
Saves Time Looking Around the Battlefield After Fights
Players that use bows, evenBound Bowswill know the joyous feeling of finding a new kind of arrow. However, when getting a new kind of arrow, they tend to come in a small amount. This means players are likely to run out mid-fight and need to swap over to their previous arrow type.
Duplicating arrows means they can instantly start using their new arrows, and not worry about searching all over the ground for any missed shots. When players only have a single digit number of a new arrow, it’s never a nice feeling to see that number down by 2.
6Repair Hammers
Keep Gear in Good Condition at All Times
Repair Hammers are used to repair both weapons and pieces of gear once their durability hits zero. This will be the number located in the heart column. Once this value hits zero, the weapon or piece of gear will become broken with a symbol to signify this.
The effectiveness of the Repair Hammer isbased on the armorer skill, meaning players with a low amount of points in this skill will need to use more of these hammers. Duplicating this item means players can keep repairing their gear to raise this skill and level up faster from the extra points.
5Ingredients
No Need to Worry about Using Something One Might Need Later
Hoarding is a common thing that many players do in RPGs. Wanting to keep an item that is in limited quantity helps one feel safe in the event they find themselves needing it to complete a quest or progress in some way.
Duplicating ingredients means players canfreely explore the Alchemy skill and its mechanicsto their fullest — and never worry about regretting their actions. There are plenty of items players will find a very small number of, and using the duplication glitch on them can give players peace of mind.
4Soul Gems
Capture the Souls of Fallen Foes to Power Magical Weapons
Players will findblue stones called Soul Gems, and they will come in varying degrees of potency. These gems can be charged with the souls of slain enemies, and then used to pass that charge along to players' magical weapons.
This makes them similar in use to repair hammers. Duplicating a large stack of Soul Gems means players can go wild with their magic weapons and then recharge them at will, no matter how far down in a dungeon they’ve gone. Another great fact is that they are pretty light.
Players can carry a lot of these valuable gems and then sell them in batches to a merchant with a high amount of gold. This will let them quickly buy anything that catches their eyes without needing to duplicate valuable heavy items.
3Potions/Poisons
Instant Buffs and Debuffs at Will
There are plenty of hazards that will come up inOblivion Remastered. Players may be delving deep into a dungeon, and then they suddenly catch a disease from a rat that drops their carrying capacity. Players then find themselves overencumbered. While a magic user can just cast Cure Diseases, warriors and thieves are left high and dry.
This is where potions come in to save the day.Players can keep a healthy supplyof all the cure-alls and pick-me-ups they need stored away and then restock their inventory when they use up one of them. This will save them gold by buying more and/or save them time making it themselves. While poisons can put foes at a disadvantage before fights even begin.
2Lockpicks
Never be Locked Out of Any Room or Chest Ever Again
Lockpicks will let players break into anything with a tumbler minigame attached to it. However, players that are still a Novice when it comes to the skill will seetumblers always dropping on them. By duplicating this item into the thousands, they can spam the auto-unlock button to jimmy open everything that stands in their way while getting easy xp from the skill leveling up.
The best part is that this item has a weight of 0. Players can also sell these picks whenever they see something they want in a merchant’s inventory. There is no downside to holding a massive haul of them at any given time.
1Scrolls
Become an Unstoppable Force in Oblivion Remastered
Scrolls are the single greatest item to duplicate in Oblivion Remastered. They are lightweight, so having a high carrying capacity means players can carry a massive arsenal from every school of magic. Players can then duplicate these at any crate or barrel while exploring dungeons to never run out. They can also sell them for massive amounts of gold in little time.
Scrolls do not use Magicka or need the players to invest any time in the magical skill they are associated with. This lets any warrior or thief cheat their way to doing everything an archmage can do.
Players may still need an altar or potion now and again, as they may never come across a scroll that does what they need.
