Elite skills by capture location (Factions)

These are skills organized by their capture location in Cantha. To see the elite skill locations in other continents, see Skills by capture location

Notes:
 * Only elite skills are shown.
 * For each skill, the boss to capture it from (using a Signet of Capture) is linked with a preceding "&rArr;".
 * Each "&rArr;" represents a different Boss, if there are multiple bosses in the same zone with that skill each boss gets its own "&rArr;".
