Skill Points are an essential part of playing the Elder Scrolls Online! Players use Skill Points to purchase abilities either active or passive, and their various morphs from the plethora of skill lines available in the game. Your skills are ultimately what determines your character’s playstyle and build.

However, after playing enough Elder Scrolls Online many players end up changing their play styles. Part of this is changing skills. Thankfully, resetting Skill Points in Elder Scrolls Online is a pretty simple process.

Method One: Pay Gold At Specific Shrines

The first way to reset Skill Points in Elder Scrolls Online is to go to a temple and make an offering at the correct altar. Each Alliance in The Elder Scrolls Online has a different location for its Shrine Of Rededication.

Aldmeri Dominion – Shrine to Stendarr/S’rendarr located within Elden Root in the Grahtwood zone.  
Daggerfall Covenant – Shrine to Stendarr located within Wayrest in the Stormhaven zone.  
Ebonheart Pact – Shrine to Stuhn located within Mournhold in the Deshaan zone.

To reset Attributes like Mana, Health, and Stamina, interact with the Shrines to Akatosh, Auriel, Alkosh, and Kyne. Resetting your Skills is far more expensive than resetting some or all your Morphs so if you plan ahead and know which specific skills or morph you would like to change then it will help save some precious ESO Gold.

Method Two: Use The Armory System

The station itself is free and available from the Crown Store. Simply place it as a furnishing in one of your homes to get started. The Armory Station allows players to make multiple slots to load character builds from. Note that these builds are saved from the player’s current loadout at the time of saving the build.

When you first place down your Armory Station it will come with two “empty” build slots. You can use these slots to save any build your character currently is using, including all equipped items, champion points and of course skills. To exploit the Armory system to allow us to reset our skills for free, simply keep one of these build slots as empty at all times. Then, any time you want to reset your skill points, just go back to your Armory station and load into your blank build and you’ll find all your Attributes, Champion Points, and Skill points refunded to you.

The benefit for this method is it is completely free, but keep in mind that this method resets everything about your build, including Champion Points, Attributes, Mundus Stone and will even remove your Vampire or Werewolf curse if you have it.

Method Three: Pay Crowns For A Skill Point Scroll

The last method for resetting Skill Points in Elder Scrolls Online is to pay for a Skill Point Respec scroll with Crowns, which can be purchased in-game for real-life money. This method is both the most convenient and the most expensive, though.

When leveling up at character level 43 you are rewarded with one of these scrolls as well as an Attributes Respecification scroll. Occasionally you can also receive the Skill respec scroll as a Daily Login reward, so be sure to check the in-game calendar for potential availability.

For those who really just can't bear traveling to a Shrine or messing with the Armory UI, Crowns can be purchased in-game, or players can use their monthly ESO Plus Crowns to finance this convenience.
