This guide will give the names and locations of where to find the Elite Skills for the Necromancer profession. If you don’t know what Elite Skills are then here is a break down on the subject.

Elite Skills are a special type of skill that are almost always more powerful than a normal one. They can be recognized easiest due to the golden border around their icons. These skills can’t be bought from the skill trainers in the major cities like the normal ones can be. You also will not be able to acquire these skills until you make it to one of three places: Crystal Desert in the Prophecies Campaign, Kaineng City in the Factions Campaign, or Kouma in the Nightfall Campaign. Unfortunately you can only have one of these Elite Skills on your skill bar at a time. If you try to put another one on there it will auto remove the first.

To get these skills there are several steps involved. First you have to buy a Signet of Capture from a skill trainer and put it on your skill bar. Then you have to find the boss that has the skill you want to ‘capture’ and then kill them. Once the boss is laying there dead use the Signet of Capture while near them. A list of their skills will appear and you can choose the Elite Skill from that list. Once you do the Signet of Capture is complete replaced by the skill. So to get another Elite Skill you will have to have another Signet of Capture. You can’t have any more than 3 of the Signets of Capture in your skill bar at a time. Every time you capture a skill you will earn 250 experience for each of your levels. So at level 20 you will get 5,000 experience points for the capturing of an Elite Skill.

Some special notes about Elite Skills:

When you capture an elite skill and already have one on your skill bar, both will temporarily remain on your skill bar until you leave the explorable area or mission is over. However once you leave the explorable area or mission the Elite Skill furthest to the right on your skill bar will remain, the other will slots with Elite Skills in them will empty. This will even occur when you travel from one explorable area to another.

So always keep in mind if you have an Elite Skill on your bar that you want to keep there and go out and capture other skills, put the Signet of Capture to the left of what ever skill you want to keep if you plan to go between explorable areas.

There are ways of technically having your entire skill bar, temporarily, completely full of Elite Skills. You have to use skills like, Inspired Enchantment, Revealed Enchantment, Inspired Hex, Revealed Hex, Arcane Thievery, Arcane Larceny, Arcane Mimicry, Arcane Echo, or Simple Thievery in various combinations.

There are also Titles that you can acquire from harvesting all of the Elite Skills: Tyrian Elite Skill Hunter – capturing 90 Elite Skills in the Prophecies campaign, Canthan Elite Skill Hunter: capturing 120 Elite Skills in the Factions campaign, Elonian Elite Skill Hunter – capturing 141 Elite Skills in the Nightfall campaign, Legendary Skill Hunter – capturing 291 skills from all 3 campaigns.

This concludes the explanation of Elite Skills, now here is a complete and detailed list of all of the skills, what the bosses name that holds the skill and where to find them at.
