Oblivion Remastered: How To Get the Mundane Ring (Best Farming & Build Tips)

The Mundane Ring isn’t just powerful—it’s your one-way ticket to becoming nearly immune to magic in Oblivion Remastered. With an insane combo of 50% Resist Magic and 35% Reflect Spell, this enchanted ring is a top-tier item for any build that dares to venture into magic-heavy encounters.

Whether you’re looking to break the game’s difficulty curve or just survive endgame mages, this guide covers every method to get the Mundane Ring, best farming routes, and how to use it in your build.

What Makes the Mundane Ring So Powerful?

Here’s what you get with this tiny yet mighty accessory:

• Resist Magic 50% – Cuts all incoming magic damage in half.
• Reflect Spell 35% – Has a 1-in-3 chance to reflect any incoming spell back to the caster.
• Lightweight (0.1) – Doesn’t affect encumbrance or mobility.

Insane Synergy: Combine with a Breton’s racial magic resistance (50%) to hit 100% magic immunity—making you untouchable against spellcasters.

How to Get the Mundane Ring

There are three main methods to acquire the Mundane Ring in Oblivion Remastered, whether through guaranteed drops, loot farming, or console commands.

1. Guaranteed Drop – Main Quest (Best Method)

• Quest: Paradise (part of the main questline)
• Enemy: Raven Camoran, son of Mankar Camoran
• Level Requirement: Must be Level 22+
• Drop: Mundane Ring is a guaranteed drop from Raven if you meet the level condition.

Pro Tip: Delay finishing this quest until you hit level 22. If you kill Raven and leave, he may respawn under certain glitchy conditions—allowing you to potentially get multiple copies of the ring.

2. Crayfish Cave Farming (Best Repeatable Method)

• Location: East of the Imperial City, Crayfish Cave is a large dungeon ideal for farming.
• Goal: Farm chests inside the cave for a random chance at the Mundane Ring.

Step-by-Step Farming Guide

1. Save Before Entering
   • Always quicksave outside the cave before entering so loot tables reset upon reload.
2. Bring Lockpicks or Skeleton Key
   • Most chests are locked. Having the Skeleton Key speeds up farming.
3. Avoid Combat
   • Use Invisibility or simply run past enemies to save time.
4. Loot Chest Sequence
   • Enter cave > Head right > Loot wall chest
   • Backtrack and take next right > Loot 4 chests in large room
   • Cross the chasm to grab a chest on the far side
   • Drop down into the chasm > Head left > Enter Crayfish Vents
   • Loot all boss and standard chests in this new zone
5. Reset and Repeat
   • Didn’t get the ring? Reload your save and try again.
   • Or wait 3 in-game days outside to respawn loot.

Drop Chance: Regular chests have ~10% chance of a high-tier ring. Boss chests have higher odds.

3. Random Loot (Late Game RNG Method)

Once you’re high enough level, the Mundane Ring can spawn in:

• Oblivion Gates – Especially boss chests.
• Ayleid Ruins & Forts – High-level dungeons like Moranda (Aratasel section).
• Merchant Inventories – Rarely, especially with high Mercantile skill.
• Ceyatatar (Gorihame trap door area) – West of Ceyatar, great loot cave.

Best Builds That Use the Mundane Ring
