Master Trainer Quests

Master trainer quests are quests that involve the Hero mastering a skill. Mastery of a skill occurs once it reaches the maximum level (100). The option to raise that skill through training sessions with experts unlocks once that skill reaches level 70 and specific favors are performed. These master trainers are spread across Cyrodiil, in the wilderness and in cities.

Acrobatics
The master of acrobatics is a Nord named Torbern. He resides at Aerin's Camp, one of the few non-hostile camps in Cyrodiil. It is located in the northern foothills of the Valus Mountains, to the north of Cheydinhal. Ask for training to receive it.


 * Upon becoming a master, this text appears: You have become a Master of Acrobatics. You gain the Water Jump ability. Jump just as you touch the water, and you can jump again as if it were a solid surface. Miss your timing... and fall into the water. With practice, you can jump several times in a row all the way across a body of water."

Alchemy
The master of alchemy is a Altmer named Sinderion, who works out of the cellar of Skingrad's West Weald Inn. He is not interested in training, unless two bottles of rare wine are retrieved -- a bottle of Tamika Vintage 399 and one of Surilie Brothers Vintage 399. These wines can be found at Castle Cheydinhal, in some Mages Guild headquarters, in the wine cabinet in the Captain's Cabin in the Marie Elena in the Imperial City, (random spawns), or they can be found for sale in potion shops.

From a little after 6 a.m. to about 6 p.m., he is at the bottom of Niben Bay at a spot northeast of the mine. Approach him about "Training" before 1 p.m., and he asks for a display of the water breathing spell, unless the hero is an Argonian.

After the task is completed, he initiates dialogue with a congratulatory message and offers training.

The book must be read in order to receive the correct answer. A copy can be found at First Edition in the Market District of the Imperial City, another is on top of a bookshelf on the second floor of the Cheydinhal Fighters Guild.

Blunt
The master of Blunt is an Imperial woman named Irene Metrick. Kill 50 people to receive training. Explore some Marauder or Bandit caves to quickly boost the total.

She resides at a home-made camp at the Wayshrine of Kynareth, to the west of Weatherleah estate in the Imperial Reserve, and she has been honing her Destruction skills by killing off the wildlife in the area (she is a bit of a nut). Collect and bring 20 bear pelts to her to get training. There are a couple of ways to collect bear pelts: heroes over level 7 can purchase bear pelts from general stores for 30 each. Bears drop them when killed, but they are much more difficult to locate.

To unlock master level training in Heavy Armor, take the 50 from Pranal and purchase four silver glasses and a pitcher. Then, deliver them to Malene. Associates of the Mages Guild can easily acquire these items from any guild hall's pantry or dining room without paying.

Illusion
Martina Floria is the master Illusion trainer. She can be found at the Arcane University's Chironasium. Floria wants 10 Welkynd Stones before she trains. These aquamarine lava lamps can be found almost exclusively in Ayleid Ruins -- but not always in sufficient numbers to fulfill Floria's demands in one trip. The stones are most plentiful in the necromancer lair, Wendelbek, between the northern headwaters of the Panther River, where 58 are spread out over four levels.

Light Armor
Speak with J'Bari, who shares a house in south-central Leyawiin with midlevel Acrobatics trainer Tsrava. J'Bari wants a new Elven Cuirass. For heroes under level 15 (where Elven Armor starts to make an appearance) take one from Azani Blackheart in the Fighters Guild quest of the same name. Otherwise, Elven Cuirasses can be purchased from most armor vendors.

Marksman
Acquire a disposition of 80 or higher with a Marksman trainer. The trainer directs the trainee to Alawen at Troll Candle Camp east of Anvil. It's hard to find Alawen and hard to talk to her in the camp during the day, as she's probably off hunting. Visit her between 10pm and 4am where she should be sleeping. Make sure to visit her with an Elven bow, otherwise she does not offer training. The bow is her price for training.

Mercantile
Palonirya, proprietor of Divine Elegance in the Imperial City, offers training if the hero's wallet contains at least 10,000.

Mysticism
Once the Mysticism skill level reaches 70, trainers direct the hero toward Dagail of the Leyawiin Mages Guild. Close three Oblivion Gates and she provides master training. This quest can easily be completed during Allies for Bruma in the main quest.

Restoration
Trainers refer to Oleta at the Chapel of Akatosh for master level training in Restoration. Unfortunately, the chapel has been partly destroyed by the daedra who have invaded Kvatch. Rescue the inhabitants, including Martin Septim, allows her to teach master level Restoration. The quest in the main storyline, "Find the Heir", must be completed to active Oleta's training.

Security
J'baana, a Khajiit that is "imprisoned" in the Imperial City, is the master level Security trainer. Fetch and deliver a note for S'Krivva. After, he becomes a master level trainer. J'banna may be found dead, in prison, or battling the guards.

Sneak

A patron at The Fo'c's'le recommends her as a trainer. To unlock her as a trainer, pickpocketing a coin from her. After, she only trains at night, walking around the Imperial City Arboretum around midnight.

Speechcraft
Tandilwe is the master Speechcraft trainer. During the day, she can be found in the Temple of the One in the Temple District. She offers training after one beggar in each city is spoken to, with the exclusion of Kvatch.
