How Scribing Works in ESO
Scribing is a gameplay system in ESO, that allows you to customize specific base skills and create abilities that will fit your favorite play style. These Skills are called Grimoires and represent some of the existing Skill lines in the game. Every Grimoire offers a base effect, that suits the skill line it comes from. You can further customize them by adding up to three Scripts to them. There are three types of Scripts in Scribing:
- Focus Scripts
- Signature Scripts
- Affix Scripts
The Focus Script defines the main function of the Skill, the type of damage it will deal and the resource it will cost to cast. The Signature Script adds unique effects to your Grimoire that can further enhance your Focus Script. Finally the Affix Script can add Buffs or Debuffs to your skill in order to complement your Build or ESO Class! To add Scripts to Grimoires you need to use Luminous Ink, a special material that you can find while exploring and defeating enemies.
What is Vault Skill in ESO
Vault is one of the Scribing Skills in ESO. This Grimoire represents the Bow Skill line and offers a Support AOE Skill for DPS or pure support Builds!

Because of its unique nature, Vault is not very useful to score pushing DPS Builds but can offer a lot to Solo gameplay and PVP! Bow Builds can benefit from this extra escape ability and the variety of buffs it offers.

What are the Best Vault Skills in ESO
There are a few combinations you can create with the Vault Grimoire in ESO! While some of them deal decent damage to enemies, they are not the best skills for DPS Builds, because of the skill’s animation. They can be quite useful to Solo and Bow only Builds however.

- Venomous Vault
- Pestilent Vault
- Bloody Vault

- Poison Damage(Focus)
- Lingering Torment(Signature)
- Vulnerability(Affix)
2. Pestilent Vault Skill
Pestilent Vault is identical to Venomous with their only difference being their type of damage. This version deals Disease Damage and is great to combine with Disease Damage Based Builds and Classes, like the Necromancer! To create it combine the following Scripts:
- Disease Damage(Focus)
- Lingering Torment(Signature)
- Vulnerability(Affix)
3. Bloody Vault Skill
Similar to Venomous and Pestilent, Bloody Vault deals Bleed Damage and is a great ability to use along with a dedicated Bleed DPS Build! To create it combine the following Scripts:
- Bleed Damage(Focus)
- Lingering Torment(Signature)
- Vulnerability(Affix)
4. Sundering Vault Scribing Skill
Identical to the previous three skills but Sundering Vault deals Physical damage, which makes it a good option for almost every Stamina DPS Build. To create it combine the following Scripts:
- Physical Damage(Focus)
- Lingering Torment(Signature)
- Vulnerability(Affix)

5. Fiery Vault Skill
If you wish to create a Mage that is using a Bow to deal damage, then the Fiery Vault is the perfect skill for you. This Scribing ability deals fire damage while you escape from enemies.

- Immobilize(Focus)
- Hunter’s Snare(Signature)
- Expedition(Affix)
7. Healing Vault Skill
Vault also offers an AOE Healing version that is not however very effective. This again because of the skill’s animation that will make positioning in order to heal your group a nightmare.

- Healing(Focus)
- Sage’s Remedy or Crusader’s Defiance(Signature)
- Evasion(Affix)

- Class Mastery
- Crusader’s Defiance
- Druid’s Resurgence
- Thief’s Swiftness
- Wayfarer’s Mastery
Class Mastery adds a unique effect based on your ESO Class while Crusader’s Defiance removes and grants immunity to snares and immobilizations which is rather useful in PVP! Druid’s Resurgence can help you restore Stamina and Thief’s Swiftness reduces a stack of the Roll Dodge cost penalty but also fall damage taken. Finally Wayfarer’s Mastery grants you the Hawk Eye Bow Passive ability. For the Affix Script you can pick any Buff or Debuff of your choice.
