The Glitch Everyone Is Talking About
Suddenly, clips of the Oblivion Remastered Mages Guild Secret Reward Glitch are spreading on Reddit and TikTok. Players are sharing proof, and streamers are recreating it live.
Oblivion Remastered Mages Guild Secret Reward Glitch is a bug that lets you duplicate the top-tier spell reward. Also called Mage Circlet duplication and item clone exploit, it lets you keep the reward while leaving the original item in the world. Research shows these sequence breaks can break expected loot rolls.
Here the trick actually works. You cast a bound item spell near the quest giver at the counter, trigger the reward menu, then quickly rest menus. Studies indicate input timing and fast travel loading zones help push the game state out of sync. This creates a floating item you can grab without losing the quest reward.
Takeaway Master the timing, and you crash the economy for one perfect piece of gear.
Q: Is this glitch safe to try online?
A: It can corrupt saves or kick you from servers, so always back up first.
Q: Will Bethesda patch this?
A: Likely yes, since past item dupes got fixed in updates.
