Skill Add-On Guide

Introduction

• Skill Add-ons are additional effects you can “add-on” to certain skills.
• The add-on effect is applied if the skill hits a target and will show on your buff bar or the enemy’s debuffs.
• You can choose 2 different effects for each skill.
• You can apply add-ons to up to 6 skills, with each one unlocking at levels 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60.

 

How to select your Skill Add-ons

The Skill Add-On System can be accessed via a Skill Instructor NPC. You can find the closest Skill Instructor by clicking the NPC Magnifying Glass (to the left of your mini-map), then clicking “Skill Instructor” at the top.

 

Once you are at the Skill Instructor, click the “Skill Add-On” option and select the skills you would like to add stats to. You can choose up to two effects to apply each skill. When you have finished selecting the skill and its effects, click “Skill Add-on” to confirm your choices.

You can check skills addon effects in the skill window (K) by hovering over the skill and can view your current addons in the skill window.

Changing your Skill Add-ons

• You can consume a Memory Fragment to change one Skill Add-on and/or its effects.
• If you have the Cliff’s Skill Add-On Guide or Secret Book of Old Moon buff active, you can freely change add-ons as much as you’d like, without spending any Memory Fragments.

Tips for choosing your Add-ons

Using the same effect on different skills

• You cannot stack the same add-on effect multiple times on the same skill, but you can use the same effect on multiple different skills.
• When applying the same effect to different skills, it does not extend the duration of the add-on effect, it will only re-apply the add-on effect.

Skill Add-ons on spammable skills

• You can place skill add-ons on skills that are spammable and they will still apply the add-on every time.
• “Spammable” skill refers to a skill that can be used even when it is on cooldown.
