Werewolf (Skill Tree) (2024)

For other uses, see Werewolf.

Werewolf is a world skill line available in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Becoming a werewolf[]

There are two ways the Vestige can become a werewolf:

1. Receive a scratch from specific hostile werewolves that spawn in various areas in only one region per alliance territory (Reaper's March for the Aldmeri Dominion, Bangkorai for the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Rift for the Ebonheart Pact). The Vestige can become infected from a werewolf in any of these regions regardless of which alliance they belong to. These infectious werewolves will spawn extremely infrequently and, as such, are rare to encounter. Hostile werewolves in other zones such as Glenumbra or Grahtwood will not provide the Sanies Lupinus disease.
2. Receive a bite from a player that is already a werewolf and has the perk "Blood Moon." This bite can only be given to one person every seven days at a Werewolf Shrine, which is only located in the three regions previously mentioned.

This will give the Vestige the disease Sanies Lupinus and will be directed to a character in Rawl'kha for the Dominion, Evermore for the Covenant, and Riften for the Pact or at the Werewolf Shrine. They will then give the quest "Hircine's Gift." Completing it will provide the Vestige with the werewolf skill line.

Werewolf skills[]

Skills in the werewolf skill line work together, allowing players to take advantage of interactions that amplify the thrill of the hunt, making them more efficient killers and even extending their blood frenzy. All of the skills put the player in the role of the hunter—always in control and right on the heels of their prey.
