How to Get More Stamina in Oblivion Remastered

Fatigue (often referred to as Stamina) is one of the most crucial mechanics in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. It affects combat efficiency, movement, and even spellcasting strategies. Managing Fatigue effectively can mean the difference between victory and defeat, especially in challenging battles.

This guide will cover everything you need to know about Fatigue, including how to increase it, its effects on gameplay, and advanced strategies to optimize your character’s performance.

How to Increase Fatigue (Stamina) in Oblivion Remastered

Unlike the original Oblivion, where Fatigue was calculated based on Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Willpower, the remastered version places a stronger emphasis on Willpower as the primary attribute governing Fatigue. Agility also plays a role, influencing both total Stamina and its regeneration rate.

1. Leveling Up Key Attributes

Every time you level up, you can allocate points to your attributes. The number of points you can invest depends on how many skill increases you’ve gained in related skills.

• Willpower (Primary Influence on Fatigue)
  • Skills that contribute to Willpower leveling:
    • Destruction (Combat)
    • Restoration (Magic)
    • Alteration (Magic)
  • Increasing Willpower not only boosts your maximum Fatigue but also improves Magicka regeneration, making it essential for spellcasters.
• Agility (Secondary Influence on Fatigue & Regeneration)
  • Skills that contribute to Agility leveling:
    • Sneak (Stealth)
    • Marksman (Combat)
    • Light Armor (Combat)
  • Higher Agility makes Fatigue regenerate faster, allowing for more sustained combat performance.
• Endurance (Indirectly Helps Fatigue via Health)
  • While Endurance no longer directly affects Fatigue in the remastered version, it still increases maximum Health, making you more durable in battle.
  • Skills that contribute to Endurance leveling:
    • Armorer (Combat)
    • Block (Combat)
    • Heavy Armor (Combat)

2. Choosing the Right Birthsign

Some Birthsigns provide bonuses to Willpower and Agility, giving you an early advantage in Fatigue management:

• The Mage (+50 Magicka, helps spellcasters sustain Fatigue via Restoration spells)
• The Thief (+10 Agility, improves Fatigue regeneration)
• The Lady (+10 Willpower and Endurance, balanced boost)

3. Using Potions & Enchantments

• Restore Fatigue Potions – Crafted via Alchemy or found in loot.
• Fortify Willpower/Agility Potions – Temporarily increases max Fatigue.
• Enchanted Gear – Look for items with:
  • Fortify Willpower
  • Fortify Agility
  • Restore Fatigue (Constant Effect enchantments are especially powerful)

4. Resting & Waiting

Fatigue regenerates naturally over time, but resting in a bed (or using the Wait function) speeds up recovery significantly.

What Does Fatigue Actually Do in Oblivion?

Fatigue isn’t just about sprinting and power attacks—it has a much deeper impact on gameplay:

1. Melee Combat Efficiency

• Lower Fatigue = Lower Damage – If your Fatigue is depleted, your physical attacks deal significantly less damage.
• Power Attacks Cost More – Strong attacks drain Fatigue quickly, so managing it is crucial for warriors.

2. Spellcasting & Ranged Combat

• Magic is Unaffected – Spells deal full damage regardless of Fatigue, making mages less dependent on Stamina.
• Archery is Semi-Affected – While Fatigue doesn’t reduce bow damage, low Stamina slows movement, making it harder to kite enemies.

3. Lockpicking & Persuasion

• Lockpicking Difficulty Increases – Low Fatigue makes lockpicking minigames harder.
• Persuasion Becomes Harder – In dialogue, low Fatigue reduces the effectiveness of persuasion attempts.

4. Enemy Fatigue Manipulation (Advanced Tactics)

You can exploit the Fatigue system against enemies:

• Drain Fatigue Poisons – Apply via weapons to weaken foes, reducing their damage output.
• Enchantments like "Damage Fatigue" – Useful for disabling powerful melee enemies.
• Spells like "Weakness to Fatigue" – Makes foes more vulnerable to Stamina-draining effects.

Best Builds for Maximizing Fatigue Efficiency

1. The Battlemage (Hybrid Warrior-Spellcaster)

• Focus: Willpower + Endurance
• Skills: Destruction, Restoration, Heavy Armor
• Advantage: High Fatigue for melee, with magic as backup when Stamina runs low.

2. The Nightblade (Stealth + Fatigue Drain)

• Focus: Agility + Willpower
• Skills: Sneak, Marksman, Illusion
• Advantage: Uses Fatigue-draining poisons and invisibility to weaken enemies before striking.

3. The Pure Warrior (Maximum Melee Efficiency)

• Focus: Strength + Willpower
• Skills: Blade, Block, Armorer
• Advantage: High base Fatigue ensures consistent damage output in prolonged fights.

Final Tips for Fatigue Management

✔ Always carry Restore Fatigue potions – Essential for long dungeon crawls.
✔ Use beds whenever possible – Fully restores Fatigue instantly.
✔ Prioritize Willpower on level-ups – The best long-term investment for Fatigue.
✔ Enchant gear with Fatigue bonuses – Even small boosts add up over time.

By mastering Fatigue mechanics, you’ll dominate combat, outlast enemies, and optimize your character’s performance in Oblivion Remastered. Whether you're a warrior, mage, or rogue, understanding Stamina is key to becoming an unstoppable adventurer in Cyrodiil!
