Oghma Infinium

What does it do?

It's just like training with a trainer, but without all the non-sense:

1. Open the Oghma Infinium
2. Select a path
3. Select a skill to train in exchange for gold

Features

Train as much as you want

You're not limited to 5 training sessions per level anymore, there's literally no limit.

Training cost has been smoothed out

You won't find any 3x or 5x multiplier when training your skills past level 50.

Train your skills up to the game engine limit

100 for normal games, greater than 100 if you use the Skyrim-Community-Uncapper.

No forced path for training

You're not forced to join any particular faction to access the right trainer.

Portable training station

It's just a time saver, you don't need to run around Skyrim to find master trainers anymore.

Problem free

Your gold will be taken away only if your skill increased, not before like normal trainers do.

This is to prevent the bug where a trainer takes your gold but your skill doesn't increase. Even if this mod uses a different method entirely, it still protects you from this kind of bug.

This mod also prevents you from training from skill 100 to 101 without the Skyrim-Community-Uncapper.

Limitations

The "old" Oghma Infinium is gone

You won't get 5 free skills in a chosen path, now you pay for each training session.

You need to finish the Oghma Infinium quest

You could add the book with the console, but you won't be able to use it before the quest is completed.

You get a time saver, not a free pass...

If you already used the Oghma Infinium, it will be added back to your inventory automatically (wait 5 seconds after loading a save, time spent in menus doesn't count).

Training cost formula

Training cost = SkillTo * SkillTo * 0.5 + 54

For example, if you train Destruction from 50 to 51 the cost will be:

51 * 51 * 0.5 + 54 = 1355 gold

FAQ

Known Issues

Some people have reported the Oghma Infinium isn't added back automatically to their inventory if they read the book before installing this mod.

After some tests, I found the game doesn't always register correctly that you read the book. I use that test to avoid duplicates, if you finished the quest and didn't read the book that means it's still in your inventory or somewhere in the world (container, on the ground, etc.).

If this happens to you, simply open the console and type this command to add the book manually:

player.additem 1A332 1

Do you use scripts?

There seems to be a lot of FUD about scripts so let me explain a couple things:

• Scripts are part of the game, without them vanilla Skyrim wouldn't work at all
• All vendors and trainers are purely scripted
• Most quests wouldn't work without scripts
• There's countless other scripted things in that game that you would never think about

Scripts aren't inherently bad, inexperienced mod authors are.

Because mod authors used badly explained functions in the past, which is the Creation Kit wiki's fault, scripts have been pointed as the cause for all the problems in the world...

Like most things in life, clueless people will mess things up, but those that do know how to work with them can do wonders.

As a professional developer myself, I make sure to the best of my knowledge that all my scripts:

• won't corrupt your savegame
• can be stopped at anytime
• are upgradable
• are extremely fast to execute
• are packaged with their source so you can check for yourself

With that said, yes there are scripts in this mod.

In fact there are 2:

• The first script will execute once and add the Oghma Infinium to your inventory
• The second script replace Oghma Infinium's original script to offer the training station instead

Stop worrying your world's gonna implode and enjoy the mod.
