What is Skill Styling in ESO?

Skill Styling allows players to change the appearance of skills in the Weapon, World and Guild categories. Skill Styles are collectibles that can be obtained by doing achievements and quests in Gold Roads West Weald zone. Once you have obtained a Skill Style, you can then apply it to its corresponding skill to change the appearance.

On this page you can soon find all skill styles that have been added to ESO.

Update 45 Skill Styles can be found here: ESO Update 45 Skill Styles

How Can I Get New Skill Styles?

To be able to access Skill Styling, you must own the ESO Gold Road Chapter. Within Gold Road, there are currently 22 Skill Styles that you can obtain from various sources, such as completing certain quests or finishing achievements. At the launch of Skill Styling, all Styles will be obtainable just by playing the game – there are none sold separately in the Crown Store or Crown Crates.

ESO Skill Styles How To Use

Go into your Collections, navigate to appearance and click on Skill Styles. Right Click on the Skill Style and Show in Skills. Click the button next to the Skill and choose either the default or colour or another one you have unlocked. You can also go directly on to your skills menu and choose the style from there.

ESO Skill Style Fragment Chases explained

New base game updates add Skill Styles that, will have you chase down fragments and consume them to unlock the necessary achievement and the skill style itself. Skill Style Fragments are always looted instead of picked up from the world. ESO Skill Styles have a 100% Drop Chance therefore you do not need to farm for them for hours. Skill Style Fragments in ESO may also sometimes appear on the Infinite Archive Merchants rotating wares.

Skill Style Fragments are Bind on Pickup meaning you can not sell or trade them to other players.

ESO Update 43 Skill Style Fragment Chase follows a drop pattern; 1 x Delve, 1 x Public Dungeon, 1 x World Boss and 2 x Dungeons.
ESO Update 44 Skill Style Fragment Chase follows a drop pattern; 1 x Delve, 1 x Public Dungeon, 1 x World Boss/World Event, 2 x Dungeons and 1 x Trial.

Keep in mind that some of the Fragments are on DLC Zones or dungeons which means you need to buy the DLC’s or ESO Plus subscription to gain access to them.
