Unlock Epic Rewards in Oblivion Remastered’s Unfriendly Competition Quest!

by

As an enthusiast, I’ve stumbled upon a bit of intrigue brewing within the Imperial City in this latest adventure – a ‘minor trade war,’ if you will! The chatter and speculation circulating around the market have piqued my curiosity, leading me to suspect that delving into this mystery could offer some early-game weapons of great worth for Oblivion Remastered. Among the potential finds are a sharp Sword and a robust Mace.

In the captivating ‘Unfriendly Competition’ quest within the remastered version of ‘Oblivion’, it’s an essential experience due to its intriguing enigma and generous rewards that significantly boost early-game players in their battles against formidable adversaries, ranging from ruthless bandits to the deadly Dark Brotherhood assassins.

How to Start the Unfriendly Competition Quest in Oblivion Remastered

To acquire Debaser and Calliben’s Grim Retort, gamers initially need to embark on the Unfriendly Competition quest. This quest initiation can be done by conversing with any of the three vendors located within the Market District of the Imperial City.

  • Tertullian Verus (Three Brothers Trade Goods)
  • Claudette Perrick (The Gilded Carafe)
  • Ogier Georick (The Main Ingredient)

When you chat with any of these vendors concerning Thoronir, they’ll be directed to converse with Jensine at her “Good as New” Shop in the Imperial City Market District for more guidance. Discussing Thoronir with Jensine will uncover an ongoing investigation by the merchants, and players can decide to assist the Society of Concerned Merchants by delving deeper into the matter surrounding Thoronir.

Speak with Thoronir and Eavesdrop on His Midnight Conversation

Instead of following Jensine’s instructions and visiting The Copious Coinpurse to converse with Thoronir through his dialog menu, choose the inventory option first. Despite Thoronir not responding, this is crucial for the players, so exit his shop and fast-forward time until approximately 11 PM.

To achieve this goal, stealthily trail Thoronir after dark, maintaining a safe distance for observation. Discard any armor to minimize noise and keep your distance. Around the stroke of midnight, Thoronir will venture into a tiny garden with a stone fountain situated towards the market district’s left rear. Players should aim to approach the fountain undetected to initiate a small scene.

How to Find Agarmir’s House and Get the Macabre Manifest

Overhearing conversations between Thoronir and Agarmir offers insight into a fresh mission for gamers. The objective is to trail Agarmir discreetly, maintaining a distance. Eventually, Agarmir will depart towards his residence in the Talos Plaza District. Upon locating Agarmir’s house, players must bide their time for a few hours, allowing Agarmir to leave and vacate the premises for explorative purposes. The times Agarmir leaves vary by day:

– Monday – 10 AM, 3 PM
– Tuesday – 9 AM, 2 PM
– Wednesday – 11 AM, 4 PM
– Thursday – 8 AM, 1 PM, 6 PM
– Friday – 10 AM, 3 PM, 7 PM
– Saturday – 9 AM, 2 PM, 8 PM
– Sunday – 11 AM, 4 PM, 9 PM

Day Time
Sundas 8 AM – 8 PM
Morndas 4 PM – 8 PM
Tirdas 4 PM – 8 PM
Middas 4 PM – 8 PM
Turdas 4 PM – 8 PM
Fredas 5 PM – 7 PM
Loredas 8 AM – 8 PM

After Agarmir departs from his home, it’s now the moment for players to retrieve their lock-picking tools, as they’ll need to forcefully enter. Upon gaining access, try picking the lock to Agarmir’s basement where players will stumble upon a book titled “Macabre Manifest” resting on a stone tablet. This book details Agarmir’s illegal activities of digging up graves for resale. At this juncture, it’s crucial that players secure and bring this book to Thoronir. Once there, Thoronir will assist players in apprehending Agarmir by making him unwittingly implicated in his own crimes.

How to Get Calliben’s Grim Retort & Debaser in Oblivion Remastered

Thoronir instructs adventurers to explore the Trentius Family Mausoleum located along Green Emperor Way – a cemetery site. Within this mausoleum, adventurers will encounter Agarmir who has devised a dangerous trap. This confrontation includes Agarmir and an armored guard acting as adversaries. To progress, adventurers must engage in battle against these foes. Defeating Agarmir rewards the enchanted sword, Debaser, which saps both Willpower and Endurance from those it strikes.

In addition to exploring other areas, players may discover Calliben Trentius in the left tomb. Hidden behind his stone sarcophagus, they will find a weapon called Calliben’s Grim Retort – an Elven mace boasting the special abilities: Strength Absorption, Blunt Damage Absorption, and Frost Damage.

After Agarmir has perished and his treasures have been seized, retrieve the Muddy Shovel near the damaged tombstone, followed by taking the Trentius Mausoleum Key from Agarmir’s corpse. Then, make your way back to Thoronir, where he will bestow upon you the Weathered Circlet, an accessory that offers Resistance against Fire and Frost damage. Finally, complete this mission by conversing with Jensine, who will reward you with approximately 200 gold coins.
