Skill tome
Each profession has an elite and non-elite skill tome that allows the character who reads it to learn a skill for that profession that they have already unlocked elsewhere for the account. Skill tomes can stack with others of the same type and profession. It does not cost a skill point to learn a skill using a skill tome.
Skill tomes can only be used while in a town or outpost, not while in an explorable area.

[edit] Skill tome
A non-elite skill tome (also unofficially called normal or regular tome) can be used to learn any one non-elite skill associated with that tome's correlated profession if that skill is unlocked on your account. These are named after their profession, so a tome for a monk skill is named a "Monk Tome". Note that PvE-only skills cannot be unlocked, so the Kurzick, Luxon and Sunspear profession-specific skills cannot be obtained through the use of tomes

[edit] Elite skill tome
An elite skill tome can be used to learn any one elite skill associated with that tome's listed profession if that skill is unlocked on your account. Whereas standard skill tomes can be dropped as loot from any Hard mode foe of the appropriate profession, up to two elite skill tomes can drop from Locked Chests or as loot from Hard mode bosses of the appropriate profession, or from opening a Zaishen Chest. Learning an elite skill through a skill tome adds a point to the Skill Hunter title for the character that reads it. These are named after their profession, so an elite tome for a dervish skill is named an "Elite Dervish Tome". Like non-elite skill tomes, it does not consume or use an earned skill point.

[edit] Notes
- The selection window will even pop up when you have no more skills to learn with the tome.
- See Skill for other ways of learning skills.
Bug.Tomes normally drop singly. If multiple players are in the party, on extremely rare occasions, two (or more) will drop from a Locked Chest. This almost always results in one of the other players being unable to get a drop from that particular chest.
