Guild Advancement - Streamlined

One of the quirks of Oblivion is that it's possible to become the Arch-mage of Cyrodiil with novice magic skills, or head of the Fighters Guild with novice combat skills. You will now need to meet minimum standards in certain skills in order to continue advancing in each guild and finish the questlines. Not only does this feel more satisfying, but also adds some much needed pacing to the guilds. Upon joining each guild, you will receive a quest to help guide you ingame with what you need to do to continue advancement. Can be installed mid-save, but best used on a character who has not yet joined either guild.

Mages Guild

You will now need to focus on honing your magic skills to high levels: Alchemy, Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Mysticism, and Restoration. You will need 3 magic skills at Apprentice level to advance to the Arcane University. Each advancement after that will require one new skill to be increased and certified at the next tier.

Fighters Guild

You will need to focus on increasing three of your combat skills to high levels: Blade, Blunt, Block, Hand to Hand, Athletics, Heavy Armor, and Armorer. Below is a table of the Fighters Guild ranks and the skill levels required to advance and continue the questline.

Here are the requirements for each guild:

This mod is a heavily tweaked version of Guild Advancement without the quest requirements and tons of quality of life and clarity added. See below for what has been changed from the original version.

[]No longer requires Mages and Fighters Guild Quests (though you can certainly still use both if you want to). As such only your skill levels are monitored, there are no # of quest completed requirements to advance.

[]You only need 3 Apprentice skills certified to advance in the Mages Guild instead of all 7, and only 3 to advance in the Fighters Guild instead of 4.

[*]All skills are now "certified" automati
