Skills by capture location (Prophecies)

These are skills organized by their capture location.


 * Elite skills are shown in bold and begin appearing here.
 * Questable skills are shown in italics. To save skill points, avoid capturing these and wait to get them as quest rewards.  To see which quest offers the skill, refer to the skill's article.
 * 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;".
 * Trivial captures (those that come after passing a trainer in a main city with the skill) are omitted.
