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

Main article: Acrobatics Training

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

Main article: Alchemy Training

The master of Alchemy is an 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.

• Upon becoming a master, this text appears: Your stained fingers attest to your diligence in mixing potions and learning their secrets. You are now a Master of Alchemy.

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. The spell (water breathing potions or an enchanted item of apparel will do), must be cast continuously for three hours. After the task is completed, he initiates dialogue with a congratulatory message and offers training.

Upon approaching him for training, he asks the question, "What does the name Hazadir mean to you?." The skill book The Armorer's Challenge must be read in order to receive the correct answer, "He won the Armorer's challenge." Only then will he agree to training. 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.

Collect and bring twenty bear pelts to her to get training. There are a couple of ways to collect bear pelts: If the Hero is level 7 or above, they can be purchased from general stores for 30 each.

Illusion

Main article: Illusion Training

Martina Floria is the master Illusion trainer. She can be found at the Arcane University's Chironasium. Floria wants ten Welkynd Stones before she trains. These can be found almost exclusively in Ayleid Ruins — but not always in sufficient numbers to fulfill Floria's demands in one trip.

Otherwise, Elven Cuirasses can be purchased from most armor vendors.

Marksman

Main article: Marksman Training

Acquire a disposition of 80 or higher with a Marksman trainer. The Hero will then be directed 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.

Restoration

Main article: Restoration Training

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.
