Oblivion Remastered – Frostcrag Spire House Guide & All Home Unlocks

by

The timeless gem, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, has received a brand new polish, and countless individuals are finding themselves immersed in the magic of this classic title for the first time. If you’re among those who may have missed or forgotten its past, let me remind you that there were additional content packs in the original version, which included power-ups like the Frostcrag Spire house. Here’s a guide on how to acquire it and suggestions for customizations.

Frostcrag Spire House Guide & All Home Unlocks

The Frostcrag Spire, introduced as an expansion pack in the initial game, serves primarily as a wizard’s tower. This game was among the pioneers in popularizing the idea of Downloadable Content (DLC) as we understand it today.

One of the top houses in this game can be yours absolutely free, once you’ve completed the tutorial. To reach it conveniently, consider using the fast travel option at the stables located on the outskirts of Bruma.

From that point, you can proceed directly towards the east until you spot a distinctive tower atop the mountains. It’s impossible to overlook it because it’s right in line with Bruma’s position to the east.

As soon as you step outside the tower for the first time, you’ll encounter a mission known as “Frostcrag Spire”. In this quest, you are tasked with finding an entrance into the tower. To achieve this, simply approach the front door and employ a lockpick to unlock the standard lock.

Inside, there’s a rather dusty book lying on the floor that holds crucial details about the tower. As soon as you crack open this book, your mission will be automatically updated, instructing you to acquire specific items to bring the tower back to its original splendor.

To accomplish this task, all you need to do is make your way to the ‘Mystic Emporium’ located within the ‘Market District’ of the ‘Imperial City’. Once there, search for an NPC named ‘Aurelinwae’ in the store’s inventory.

Although you’ve legally acquired the tower, it’s currently inoperable as none of its components function yet. Moreover, you don’t possess any necessary facilities since they haven’t been bought. So, make your way to the Mystic Emporium and purchase these essential items:

  • Frostcraft Alchemy Lab – This will add an alchemy table that will give you a passive bonus while working nearby, making it a great spot to train your alchemy skill or just to make potions in general. Prioritize this if you love using that skill.
  • Frostcrag Bedroom Area – This upgrade adds a bed to the tower, as well as a few storage options that will never reset, allowing you to dump all of your stuff here whenever you don’t need them. The upgrade also includes a few miscellaneous decorations.
  • Frostcrag Library Area – This adds a whole lot of books to the tower, as well as other bits of furniture. It is mostly a cosmetic upgrade if you do not care about the ingame books, but it does make the place feel more like the wizard’s tower that it should be.
  • Frostcrag Vault Area – Finally, this upgrade will add a whole bunch of chests and other alternative forms of storage in an entirely separate room that you can access via a portal in the main area. These are all usable and can be good for people who like organizing their storage.
  • Magetallow Candles Box – You have to buy these two in order to activate the altar of spellmaking and enchanting in the main area. More information about this in our guide on how to enchant items in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

Keep in mind that the costs for the items mentioned may fluctuate significantly based on various outside influences. It’s advisable to have several thousand gold on hand, as their prices might range from around 1000 to over 2000.

You have all the essential information about this location, and you’re welcome to roam around the tower as you please to discover more. There are a couple more points I should mention: there’s a spacious garden within the living quarters that is brimming with alchemy ingredients.

Additionally, there’s an entrance to the balcony located in the living area. Here, you’ll discover doors that lead to every individual chapter of the Mages Guild scattered across the map. This makes it a practical headquarters for guild members or those interested in joining.

Because each chapter within the Mages Guild needs to recommend you before your initial membership, these portals could significantly reduce the time needed for that process.

Well, I’ve guided you through creating your own magical abode, and it’s all yours to explore now! By the way, did you realize that there are additional DLC homes up for grabs within this game? You might want to check them out to further expand your gaming experience.
