Weapon Skills in Elder Scrolls Online are available to every player of any Class. This allows for extreme amounts of flexibility in each player's playstyle. At level 15, each player will gain an alternate weapon slot/skill bar. This allows the player to equip a melee weapon and a ranged weapon, two different melee weapons, the same melee weapon with a different skill setup, or even slotting a Restoration Staff so they can heal themselves when needed.

Please see the Weapons page to see the damage values of weapons, and the Sets page for available weapon sets.



The values listed are taken from a VR16 character without any passives or gear equipped. Each skill shown is leveled up to rank IV.
