Skill Tome

Skill Tomes are items that correspond to each of the 10 professions, and were introduced in the April 19th Update Game updates/20070419 that can be dropped by monsters while playing in Hard Mode. They allow a character to learn any non-elite skill of his or her profession, that they have unlocked on their account. Elite Skill Tomes allow players to learn any Elite skill they have unlocked. Elite Skill Tomes are dropped by bosses while playing in Hard Mode. This is the only other way to learn an elite skill without using a Signet of Capture.
