How to Get Acrobatics to 100 at Dive Rock on Oblivion

When playing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, you can level up individual skills to gain new abilities and become a stronger character. One such skill is Acrobatics. This skill increases when you jump, so the natural power leveling technique is to bunny hop around whenever you walk. While this works, you only gain about one third of a skill point per jump. If you take damage when you jump your skill points increase by three, so repeatedly jumping from a height will level you up ten times faster. Dive rock, being one of the highest mountain locations in the game, is a great place to power level your way to 100.

Instructions

- 1
  Locate Dive Rock in the mountains north of Cheydinhal. The mountains are wild country with no roads or paths to lead you, so you'll have to do some exploring to find it. You'll notice a camp icon on your map as you approach the area. This camp is Aerin's Camp, and is very near to the overlook of dive rock.
- 2
  Step out on to Dive Rock after locating it near Aerin's Camp. This will add Dive Rock and a few other locations to your map. This will allow you to fast travel back up any time you need to.
- 3
  Find a mildly steep mountain slope that leads back down to Cheydinhal. Search near Dive Rock, but do not leap off of it. Leaping from Dive Rock leads to a very long fall and certain death.
- 4
  Press the jump button and push your thumbstick forward to begin jumping down the mildly steep mountain slope. Avoid jumping to far or from too high as this can kill you. You want to take a small amount of damage with each leap, ideally leaping multiple times before your health bar runs low.
- 5
  Heal yourself with spells and potions as you health gets dangerously low quickly with this tactic. Use this as an opportunity to build up your Restoration skill, which increases when you use healing spells.
- 6
  Continue to leap down the mountain side taking slight damage with each fall. When you reach the bottom, select "Dive Rock" on your map and quick travel back up the mountain. Once up, leap back down again to continue leveling.
- 7
  Continue this process until you've reached Acrobatics level 100. You'll gain special abilities to attack while jumping, dodge, jump with less fatigue and jumping off of water at levels 25, 50, 75 and 100 respectively.
