How To Get Better Prices In Oblivion Remastered

As with any open-world RPG, there are many items to be bought and sold in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Players will find traders in the Imperial City's market district and other towns, as well as in random locations on the roads of Cyrodiil. However, to obtain more gold from selling and eventually be able to purchase the best gear for lower prices, players will want to haggle in Oblivion Remastered.

How To Haggle In Oblivion Remastered

Unlike other games where individual items are haggled for, or the haggling is at least done on checkout, haggling in Oblivion Remastered is done before buying or selling items. Essentially, players are coming to an agreement with the merchant as to the percentage value of which items will be bought and sold.

To haggle in Oblivion, you must have the merchant's goods selected, not your own. Then press:

X on Xbox.
Square on PlayStation.
R on PC.

This will bring up a slider, which by default will be at the far left. The aim is to push this as far right as possible, as goods will be bought from the trader at lower prices, and players can sell items at higher prices.

You should see prices change after pressing Continue. Cheap items, such as arrows, will only change after drastic haggling due to rounding.

The slider can be set to any value, but this does not mean the trader has accepted yet.

Convincing The Merchant

Notice that the left side is denoted as Easy and the right as Hard. This is because the further right you try, the less likely the trader will be to agree. Success is determined by two factors:

Mercantile Skill: If you have a higher Mercantile skill than the trader, success is more likely. Their skill is shown above the slider.
Disposition: The merchant's opinion of you is also shown. If this number, ranging from 0-100, is higher, they like your character and are more likely to accept a deal.

Based on these factors, players should decide how far to push their luck. If the merchant is an Expert at the Mercantile skill and has a Disposition of less than 50, it's best to aim lower. Players will only know if their haggling deal has been accepted when they try to buy or sell an item.

If the deal is too high, they will refuse to sell or buy the item. It will say 'Offer Refused' at the top, and the NPC will verbally say something along those lines. Players will then have to go in with a lower offer.

Be aware that the trader's Disposition will decrease slightly with each failed offer.

How To Get Better At Haggling In Oblivion Remastered & Get The Best Prices

Haggling is tied to the Mercantile skill, explained in this guide. At higher levels, better items and prices will be available. It can be increased by selling and buying, and with the help of trainers.

Players of the original game should note that you no longer need to sell items individually to level up Mercantile fast. XP gains are now based on the amount of gold involved in a transaction.

The Personality Attribute will also help players get the best prices in Oblivion Remastered, as the traders will like your character more and have a higher Disposition.
