What's the highest level you can get to in Oblivion? My friend also says you get a dragon egg at level 45 or something on the PS3.

When I say highest level, I mean no mods/cheats/hacks etc , just pure "I played this game too much, didn't I" gaming.

The highest level I have is a level 32 mage on the Xbox. I just made loads of spells for all the magic types and did them loads.

I regret to inform you that there are no dragons in Oblivion.. Well, except for a certain one.. But, in no way can you associate or interact with it.

I'm also on the 360 and I'm a level 46, I'm not sure on the dragon egg but your friend probobly read it from some were, and I think the highest level is 200. Of corse I could be wrong, try reading other post on here. I hope I helped :blush:

I think the highest level you can possibly attain through the standard way is around 45. I only play on Xbox 360 and I have several different characters and my highest is around level 42 with most major skills at 80+ and five maxed out at 100+.

However if you get yourself jailed for a long enough period of time and often enough you will lose skill points and I think you can then level them back up to yet again increase your level.

The highest level possible is 255, but most characters will cap thier skills out around 45 - 55 mark. You can use the jail to then lower your skills and re-raise them to get to higher levels, however there is no point and it just makes the monsters stronger without you actually getting any stronger.

Also:
Once you've hit level 30 then all the loot is unlocked, as that is the top of someo f the levelled quest rewards. Yeah, no speical item at level 40 or whatever.

I've played the game with various characters with different greater/lesser skills. I have always managed to get higher than level 45 easily. In fact, twice I got to level 47, once at 48 and once at 49 (never 50 though, which is slightly annoying lol). Basically, if you get to mid 40s then you've done good.

All my characters stop leveling between levels 46 and 49. My current character might actually hit 50 this time. :foodndrink: I use all extra levels beyond level 30 for luck investments.

When all your major skills are maxed, you are done. Without the jail exploit, your top level is around 50. The actual top level can vary because the choices you make (race, specialization) when you create your character will influence where your major skills start out.

For an exact number for your character, you can do some math, or plug you data into this site: http://www.linklost.com/occ/

There is no dragon egg in the unmodded game of Oblivion.

Like said above the highest level in the game is 255. On average my characters on the console version got to about 48. I got one to 93 using the jail glitch for a long time. Now on the PC I use experience and leveling mods, which alter gameplay quite a bit. I am at level 13 after about 12 hours on my current character.

The highest non-exploited level is around 50.

*He said "What is the highest level" not "What is your level."*

The absolute highest level one can achieve without using any exploits (ie Jail or the Oghma Infinium) is 53.5. If you pick a character that has all their Major Skill start at 25 then the possible skills points available to level up your character is:

7 * (100-25) = 7 * 75 = 525

At 10 skill points per level this equates to 52.5 levels and since you start at level 1 that leaves you at level 53.5.

Obviously picking Major Skills that receive bonus from the Race, Class, and Specialization that you choose will lower this final level.

The highest point you can get to is probably around 50 max. Beyond that it just gets ridiculous, although actual cap is at 255.
With PC mods you can do whatever though. As for the egg, I haven't heard of any, and I've looked it up in the Wiki and there's no
mention of it, maybe your friend was referring to something else.

As mentioned, the natural character level cap is ~50. Skills' and attributes' natural caps are at 100. However with cheats, glitches, or exploits skills' and attributes' hard caps are 255. Skills and attributes can still be fortified past 255 using spells, enchantmetns and/ or potions. The absolute hard cap for overall character level is in fact 65,535 (only with cheats could you get that high).

I use to play Oblivion on Xbox 360 and got to Lvl 42 sumtimes, Now on Pc Version I used Cheats to get to Lvl 255, I Also found out that if u use cheats and instead of 255 u put player.setlevel 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 so on and so fourth u get a Lvl of 65,000 but no exceeding 66,000... I was Like WOW! WTF =] No Lie Try It Pc Users

You don't need all those nines.

player.setlevel 65535

That will put you at max. If you punch in 65536, then your character level will read 0, since it went over the counter. So technically, punching in all those nines will make it go over the counter several times over... and then some. Whatever number it lands on, I'm not sure. I do know it will be between 0 and 65,535.

As previously mentioned, you can get to 53.5 at most via leveling based on your character's starting majors.

With careful selection of those to take advantage of free skill awards, you can reach 55 or 56 (at least) by delaying those rewards until after leveling.

Add the Oghma Infinium (artifact quest reward, one use only), which gives +10 each to one of 3 sets of 3 skills, and you can reach 58-59

On one character I managed to hit 61 doing this, but it was a PITA and I do not recommend trying.



Now, let's try for highest level based on raising majors regardless of how you do so:

Assume all majors start at 25
Skills cap at 255 before 'rolling over'

255 - 25 = 230, or 23 levels per skill
23 * 7 = 161

Since you start at level one, that means you could reach L162 before having any of your majors zeroed (and thus losing any associated perks).


@Schmoe:

I'm actually surprised that 65535 is the ultimate cap, I was expecting it would be 32767. Must be using unsigned 16-bit integers instead of 8-bit ones.

I'm going to go to 120. There isn't any point to leveling high though since you don't get stronger than those enemies that are set to be within certain level ranges in relation to yours. I just do it for the stats.

Though I'm lvl57, there are ringleaders that will be 3 levels higher than me always. And goblins will be 10 levels lower.

Fortifying stats is probably better than leveling up.

It depends on your character's race, skills and attributes. I've had characters top out at around 20 and others at around 50. There's no point in using exploits to go higher as the enemies continue to level with you. Well, some of them..the "boss range" creatures and NPCs. You can get all your best gear in the low twenties, and you'll be making plenty of gold by 50.

And no, there's no dragon egg in Oblivion. There are no dragons. There are two beings who APPEAR to be dragons. One is a Daedric Prince and another is a Divine. Neither of these beings can be used as mounts nor do they lay eggs, period.

:facepalm: ...Thank You Schmoe, You Just Made My Life A Whole Lot Easier... :goodjob: ... O & Hi :wavey:

wow there is a lot of shadowed posts answering already an answered question. goofballs.

Yeah and a pointless post bringing back an already answered question.
