Skills
What are Skills?
In Elden Ring skills are found on weapons and shields. However, they can also be changed on weapons or shields by utilising Ashes of War. Ashes of War can be found in the world by defeating enemy and collecting them (see Ashes of War section).
How to get skills
Weapons will come with a skill already attached. To change the default skill on a weapon, this can only be done with the Ashes of War.
Can all weapons change skills?
Some gear such as Bows, Light Bows, Sacred Seals, and unique weapons can not have their skills changed by Ashes of War.
