Go to the Arcane University's Praxographical Center (northeast corner) and create a spell that does Bound Dagger for one second on self. You can repeatedly use this spell to raise your Conjuration skill above level 25, a level you'll need to achieve in order to get the free weightless Daedric weapons.

Once your Conjuration is at level 25 or higher, make a new spell that will cast Bound Dagger and Bound "whatever weapon you want." (If you don't see the option to create a spell that does anything other than Bound Dagger, you'll need to make sure that you can actually cast the other bound weapon spell. If you can't, raise your Conjuration skill even higher.) Make sure that you add the Bound Dagger effect first, then add the second bound weapon effect. Set both effects for a duration of one second.

Cast the spell you've just created and wait for the sound of weapons equipping. Immediately go to your menu and you'll see that the second bound weapon appears in your inventory. Simply drop the weapon and you can then pick it up to keep forever. The weapon has no sell value but it's weightless and pretty powerful. This bug can be repeated as many times as you like, giving you access to an infinite number of Daedric weapons.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Fast Travel For The Grossly Obese
After clearing out one of the many dungeons in Oblivion, you may wish to carry out more valuable loot, items, armor and weapons than your current level of Encumbrance will allow. If you're able to, you can cast spells that will temporarily raise the amount you can carry, but if that's not an option for you, a simple potion of feather can be very helpful in a pinch.

Clear out all the enemies, taking note of where all the highly valuable (and sometimes heavy) items you're going to want to carry out with you are. Next, load up as much as you can carry, and drink your feather potion. This will temporarily raise your Encumbrance. Now, quickly run around and grab the other items you want to take. Get outside the dungeon before your potion runs out, and fast-travel wherever you wish.

No matter how far away your destination is, you'll make it, along with all the stuff that you picked up. Travel to a merchant to sell it all, or travel to your home/hideout to stash it for later. When you arrive, you will be over-encumbered, so in order to move, you'll either have to drink another feather potion, or temporarily drop a few things.

I usually fast-travel just inside the gate to the Market District of the Imperial City, where I temporarily drop whatever I can't carry, then run right around the corner to the various shops. I sell everything I don't want to keep, then I return to the gate and pick up the things I dropped. It's a great way to make large sums of cash fairly quickly.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Glitch - Perma Stat Enchantment
Note, this may not work if your game was patched to fix the cloning item glitch. This glitch will also permanently alter your game.

First of all you need an enchanted armor, with a stat that you want to lock onto yourself PERMANENTLY, such as the ability to breathe underwater or spell absorption of some level.

Equip a bow and two or three arrows (the number of items you want to make works with more too). Draw the bow completely back, then bring up the menu. In here you should try to "Unequip" the arrows, it will click and tell you that can't do so while attacking, then you move over to the armor you want to copy and drop it.

Then exit the menu. You should hear the arrow release and a group of armor should clatter to the floor in front of you (some places can't duplicate items, but the "My Bruma House" seems to work wonders for me).

Pick up two of the enchanted armor, and equip one of them. Then draw back the bow with arrows (to do another duplication "un"-arrow and drop item), when you choose to drop this time, select the unequipped copy of the enchanted item and you will see the computer did a mental goof here. It dropped the equipped armor instead of the copy.

Any increases or enchantments on the equipment will be considered active, but you can no longer wear equipment in that area.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Minotaur Horns Suck More Than You Do
Once you've become a grand champion, the lady managing the arena will offer you random (but tough) fights each game week. If you want some easy gains, ask for a fight against three minotaurs.

Once the announcer says, "Lower the gates", remain in the steps to the entrance hall. Shoot a few arrows or spells at the targets, and all you have to do is stay close enough to them to attack. Occasionally one minotaur may get through but you can handle one fairly tolerably by then.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Assassin Gear Without Guild
In the city of Bruma their is a house next to Olav'a Tapand Tack, it is the second house along. the house belongs to J’Ghasta. In the house their is a Barrel or Large beer keg with a Very Hard Lock on it if you can break this lock then you will recieve the spols of war in the form of a set of Black Hand Robes and a Black Hand Hood. Although these Robes provide no armor and have no value they are among the best Enchanted Equipment in the game. This equipment provides Sneak + 11, Illusion + 11, Marksman + 11, Blade + 11, Speechcraft + 11.

The only down fall is you have to aviod being sent to jail because they will apear as stolen and will be claimed by the gaurds.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Full Ebony / Daedric Armor
In order to get a full Daedric suit fairly quick all you have to do is to be on level 25 or up and go to the Roxey Inn. Once you are inside the Inn look for a woman named Rigmor. If she isn't wearing a full Daedric Armor Suit then there are two possible problems. Either you level is not high enough or your luck is not at an adequate level (it should be around 50 or so).

If she isn't wearing the suit she will have a full set of Ebony armor. Still don't let that tempt you. If want a full set of Ebony armor kill Umbra in the Alyeid ruin called Vindasel. But before you kill Umbra talk to the Shrine of Clavicus Vile. He will give the quest to kill her and to bring back the Umbra sword in return for the Masque of Clavicus Vile.

If you return Umbra before talking to the shrine the game will freeze. There is an old Redguard in the Roxey Inn. I can't remember his name but he is the only guy not wearing armor other than the bar tender. That Redguard is a master of heavy armor and will train you if you get him a silver pitcher and four silver cups. You can easily obtain these cups and pitcher by going to Dorian's house in the Imperial City. Dorian can make you rich but not on his free will.

To get rich persuade him until he dislikes you, once you are done he will say things like ,"Get out or I'll call the guards!". Kill him either before or after he attacks you. When is dead search his body for his gold. If you have done everything correctly, you can collect his gold for an infinite number of times and thus become rich which can pay for your heavy armor training for the Redguard in the Roxey Inn.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Random Powerful Item (Fast Method)
For those of you who are interested in making a character (who must be at level 25 or greater) a physical reflection of 101%, you can quickly get some damn powerful items from the titular "Head" blind monk in the Thieves' guild quest "Arrow of Extrication". The NPC holding the quest item is not only a good candidate because he always has one randomly generated powerful ring or accessory on his person (when killed), but because items are randomly generated when you make a map transition, the small room the NPC is in lets you save outside and reload the game (and map) to let you try again in getting that one item you were looking for. Naturally, high luck helps, but luck enhancement spells also affect the outcome.

Your basic goal is to get two accessories that offer "physical damage reflected" at around the 30 - 40% mark and a (quest award) shield that offers the same thing. With all three items thus equipped, you should be damn near invulnerable. For magic, go after the Mundane Ring, and with the ability to enchant "magic protection 25%" or higher on a few pieces of armor, you can make yourself invulnerable to magic attacks. The only thing left to hurt you will be arrows, but that should be an easy task. Note -- for such high percentages, you need to acquire items and weapons and armor at level 25 (or greater for some Dark Brotherhood items).

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hint - Item Cloning and Duplication
This may no longer work if your Xbox 360 was patched on Xbox Live (see below for additional information).

To multiply items you must have two different types of arrows to make the glitch work.

You attack with the arrow, and when your character is preparing the bow but it is not yet drawn back, press RED to bring up the menu.

Go to weapons and equip another type of arrows by pressing GREEN twice. Nothing should happen the first time except that the new arrows should become selected and after pressing GREEN the second time, there should be a message that says "this weapon can no be equipped while attacking".

Then without closing the menu, drop the item you want to duplicate and it should fall to the ground and multiply randomly. Multiply magic or expensive items to gain fast money.

This is not completely true. This exploit multiplies the item cloned by the number of arrows you have. Your second choice of arrow when the game tells you "this weapon can no be equipped while attacking" will determine the number of items spawned. For example, if you have 500 arrows stocked for your second arrow choice, you will get 500 items. A high number multipling may cause the Xbox 360 to freeze. (IGN tried with 100 and the 360 stuttered). Lastly, you can also clone the Sigil Stones you get from the Oblivion Planes, but not certain items (like swords and armor).

You can clone swords and armor or just about any item in the game. All you have to do is sell it to an NPC and buy it back then you can clone the item. Another thing is you don't need two kinds of arrows. If you unequip your weapon and atack (bare handed) then select the arrows that are already equiped (twice) then drop the item, it will still work.

You can also multiply more than one item at once. After you drop the first item go back and select the arrows again (twice) then drop the second item. (great for alchemy increases) Hope this helps. You can also multiply arrows by dropping one stack and equipping another. Example: you have 100 iron arrows you drop 90 of them. Equip the 10 you have in your inventory, then pick up the other 90. When you pick up the 90 they will be the equipped arrows, but you will have a stack of 10 also. Perform the multiplying glitch and drop the 10 arrows (if all of them don't drop, don't worry). Exit out of the menu and you have more iron arrow o n the ground. To keep the game from glitching with more than a 100 arrows, drop stacks of items. The items you pick up will be in the amounts of the stack you dropped them from.

Although hitting the ground with your fist also works for duplicating items, there is another method that you should try. This method is very effective and you don't have to worry about hurting a bystander. Make sure that you have your magic on something that won't hurt anyone or basically not on destruction mode. Any magic will do. Healing, dispel, feather, etc.... Press your R1 for magic and before the action is done, press the B button. Then select the amount of arrows you want (any amount will do, but make sure that you don't chose anything more than 200 arrows because the game sometimes freezes depends on what item you are trying to duplicate) then select the item you want to duplicate.

Duplication process:
1. Magic- press R1
2. Press B button
3. Choose arrows
4. Select the item.
5. Duplication complete

Post-patch Cloning

This is for the people who have already downloaded the update patches:

1. Equip any number of arrows, a number divisible by ten is advised, a high number will create same number of duplicated items.


2. With no weapon equipped, look at the floor and punch it.


3. Quickly, before the punch has been completed, press the B button to access the inventory screen.


4. Select the arrows which are equipped and press A to attempt to unequip them. You will receive a message saying that you cannot unequip this because you are attacking.


5. Select the item you wish to duplicate and press X to drop and duplicate the item.


6. Press B again to get out of the inventory screen. Pick up your loot.
