To join the gladiatorial ranks of the Arena, speak to Owyn, the Blademaster in the Bloodworks. You will automatically become a member of the Blue Team.
- For each match won, the participant is paid according to their rank within the Arena, a range of 50 gold to 500 gold. This gold is level-independent, with virtually no affiliations with other quests, making it a good starting questline for low-level characters.
- After each fight, the Arena combatants can use the Basin of Renewal found inside the "Red Room" (so named because blood from the arena floor above is said to drip down the walls) to restore themselves.
- When you become the Blue Team Champion, you will receive a title of your choice, one that will stretch across all of Cyrodiil.
- After you defeat The Gray Prince and become the Grand Champion, you will be approached by an Adoring Fan who will want to be your "side kick," offering to carry your weapon or give you a back rub and other things of the sort (none of which is doable).
- See his page for the potential benefits and detriments he offers.
- Once you achieve the prestigious title of Grand Champion, you will also get a Raiment of Valor. Be sure to take Agronak's Raiment from the Gray Prince when you beat him. Once you give it to Ysabel Andronicus, she will give you your own in return - Heavy or Light.
- Alternatively, if you decide not to hand over the armor, you can keep Agronak's Raiment, which (unlike your own raiment) is a quest item and therefore effectively has no weight. However, this is advised against, as the armor you receive from Ysabel will have the same enchantments, and you will be unable to receive the benefits of being the Grand Champion.
- Afterwards, when you manage to make it to the Grand Champion matches, you can start looting creatures. This is quite beneficial once you start fighting Minotaurs, who carry Blunt weapons and naturally hold their Minotaur Horns, which are useful in Alchemy.
- The maximum reward you can get for each creature is 40+(player level-1)×50 gold. The actual amount is somewhat random as it is taken from a leveled list, thus at level 30 you can get anywhere between 40 and 1,490 gold although higher values are more likely. The gold is calculated for each creature you fight, so the maximum reward that can ever be obtained is 4,470 gold.
- Beyond the gold, you will gain 31 fame points for completing the entire Arena quest. You get 10 fame points for defeating The Gray Prince alone.
- You must wear your Heavy or Light Raiment issued to you by Owyn. This rule does not apply to the Grand Champion match.
- In the two cabinets there are replacement suits of armor (5 light and 5 heavy in each), so you don't have to worry about repair.
- You may wear any helms, shields, or jewelry.
- You cannot scavenge the corpses of your foes. This rule does not apply to the Grand Champion match.
- This prohibition extends to weapons and shields that are knocked out of an opponent's hands. The sole exception to the rule are arrows which have missed: they can be recovered during or after a match. Trying to scavenge from a corpse will not result in a penalty but a message will appear telling you that this act is not permitted.
- You can only fight from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.
- This is the time you request a fight. You may wait until any time to actually begin your fight.
- The Grand Champion is not bound by the time.
- The rules of the arena are "anything goes." You can use any weapon or cast any spell in your matches, and may freely use potions, poisons, scrolls, or sneak attacks.
If you remove your armor during your match, the fight will end and you will be disqualified for it (also, prompting a scold from Owyn). This is the only way you can get out of a fight without killing or getting killed yourself. If you happen to do so a second time, you will be expelled from the Arena. There is no way to get back into the Arena after being expelled.
