ESO Skills Library

Welcome to the ESO skills overview page. In this category of the website you can find a library of all the Elder Scrolls Online skills. The ESO skills library is always kept up to date and reflects the data ingame.

The tooltip values of the skills are taken from an empty level 50 character. That way you can compare the different stats of each skill, because they all have the same base character values. The tooltip numbers ingame will always be higher because you will run a fully optimized build.

ESO Skills Menu

The ESO Skills Menu gives you the ability to customize and view your character’s progression in the various skill lines available to you.

These skill lines are listed under various categories displayed on the left side of the Skills Menu. Select one of these skill lines to reveal the abilities contained within it.

When you have a Skill Point available to spend, access the Skills Menu by pressing the specific key (K by default on PC). The abilities that are currently available for purchase will have a plus sign next to their ability icon. To spend a Skill Point in ESO you can purchase an ability, simply click the plus symbol, then press the E (PC default) key to confirm that you wish to unlock that ability.

ESO SKILL BAR

The Skill Bar in ESO (or Ability Bar) can be found at the bottom center of the screen when you enter combat, or when an enemy is targeted. Combat Abilities can be dragged and dropped into this tray from the Skills Menu and executed by pressing the corresponding keys (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the keyboard).

Leveling Skill lines in ESO

There are many skill lines available in ESO based on your character’s class, racial background, equipping weapons or armor, and organizations encountered while adventuring. Most ESO skill lines gain ranks when you have their skills slotted in a weapon set and you gain experience. The more skills slotted in a weapon set from a single skill line, the faster all those skills gain ranks. Other skill lines improve through specific actions taken by your character:
