Working out how to join the Mages Guild in Oblivion is a worthwhile pursuit, even for players who don’t consider themselves major magic users. Alongside the usual benefits of joining a guild (like a place to sleep and improved Disposition among its members), the Mages Guild gives you access to a treasure trove of alchemical tools and ingredients that you can use to craft potions or even just sell off for some sweet, sweet gold.
Thankfully for any aspiring Arch-Mage, the Mages Guild is one of the simplest memberships to earn in the game, so don’t expect anything quite as involved as trying to join the Thieves Guild. While its upper ranks are more exclusive, you can become an Associate of the Mages Guild within minutes of emerging from the sewers of Imperial City. Here’s how it’s done.
