Are you tired of the default yellow Vigor or blue Force Shock? The Skill Styling feature, introduced with the ESO Gold Road Chapter finally lets you customize the visual effects of certain abilities!

ESO Skill Styling is a cosmetic system that allows you to change the color and visual effects of specific Skills. It is a great way to customize your characters aesthetic in the game.

Key Details to Know:

  • Cosmetic Only: Skill Styles do not impact a skill's damage, healing, or effect in any way.
  • Account-Wide: Once a Skill Style is unlocked by one character, it is immediately accessible to all characters on that account, acting as a new type of collectible item.
  • Morph Compatibility: Styles can be applied to either the base skill or any of its morphs.

How to Access and Use Skill Styling (Step-by-Step)

How to change your skill style in The Elder Scrolls Online:

  1. Unlock the Style: First, you must unlock a Skill Style (like Regeneration, Azure Blue) by completing the associated quest, achievement, or collecting fragments.
  2. Navigate to Collections: Open your main menu and go to Collections > Appearance > Skill Styles.
  3. View & Activate: Select the Skill Style you have unlocked. It will show you the corresponding skill and color.
  4. Apply the Style: Go to your Skills menu (default 'K' on PC).

How to Unlock ESO Skill Styles and Collect Fragments

Skill Styles are earned through various in-game activities, though some are purchasable in the Crown Store. 

Skill Style Acquisition Methods

You can unlock Skill Styles from various sources:

  • Quests and Achievements: Styles are often tied to completing specific achievements
  • Daily Activities: Clearing Mirrormoor Incursions (World Events), completing Daily Quests, and discovering Skyshards and their related Achievements.
  • Crown Store: Some styles have been released in the Crown Store.
  • Fragment chase: Acquire fragments from different sources and consume them to get the skill style and related achievement.

Understanding the Skill Style Fragment Chase

Some styles require a fragment chase which takes you to various zones, dungeons and trials. 

  1. Collect Fragments: Acquire multiple unique fragments. Once consumed, these fragments unlock a specific achievement and grant the skill style. 
  2. Guaranteed Drop: Fragments have a 100% Drop Chance.
  3. Binding: Fragments are Bind on Pickup, meaning they cannot be sold, traded, or shared with other players.
  4. Content Requirements: For example, a style might require fragments from: Delves, Public Dungeons, Trials, Dungeons, World Bosses or World Events.
  5. Weekly Vendors: Fragments rotate through the stock of Infinite Archive Merchant and Tel Var Weekly Merchant in Imperial City.

As an example the Roar, Verdant Green Skill Style requires five fragments from different places before you can use it:
