The Werewolf skill-line is part of the "World" category in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Werewolf skill-line has active skills and passives. You can only actively use Werewolf skills while you are transformed.

There are three different ways how you can get Lycanthropy in the Elder Scrolls Online. You can simply purchase Lycanthropy via Crown Store, this will instantly turn you into a Werewolf. You can get infected by another player or via a Werewolf NPC, once infected you have the debuff “Lycanthropy” on you. With this debuff you can go to one of the three Werewolf Shrines to complete a quest and turn into a real Werewolf.

For a detailed explanation please visit the Werewolf Guide.

To level up the Werewolf skill-line in the Elder Scrolls Online you have to kill enemies in Werewolf form. That means the Werewolf skill-line itself will only level up while you are in Werewolf form, this can be a bit tough at the start because you don't have any passives that increase your time in Werewolf form. Therefore you won't be able to stay long in Werewolf form at the start, that is why it is important to kill monsters that have low health. Only the amount of enemies killed matters, not the experience gained.

However, in contrary to the Werewolf skill-line itself, the skills are leveled up by gaining experience from killing monsters or quests. Therefore you can slot Werwolf skills even while you are in human form and level them up.

The Werewolf form does have some small drawbacks while you are transformed. However, in human form you won't be affected by the drawbacks.

The damage numbers of the skills that you see below are used for comparison. The numbers are based on a naked level 50 character without any skills, passives, attributes and champion points allocated. Your damage numbers will change depending on what gear, skills, attributes, champion points, enchantments or buffs your character has.
