Calculator Form
Formula Used
Skyshard skill points = floor(Skyshards collected / 3)
Total available = Leveling points + Skyshard skill points + Quest points + Public dungeon points + Group dungeon points + Alliance points
Total planned = Class actives + Class passives + Weapon actives + Weapon passives + Armor passives + Guild or world points + Crafting points + Morphs + Buffer
Remaining = Total available - Total planned
Estimated reset cost = Total planned x Reset cost per spent point

Plan Better Builds With Clear Skill Totals
An Elder Scrolls Online character can grow in many directions. A new build may need class skills, weapon skills, armor passives, guild lines, world lines, crafting perks, and morph choices. That many options can make planning confusing. This calculator keeps the plan clear. It separates earned points from planned spending. It also shows whether the build has enough room before you commit.
Why Skill Planning Matters
Skill points are valuable because each point supports a choice. You may unlock an active skill. You may buy a passive rank. You may morph an ability after leveling it. Crafting also demands many points when the character handles several professions. A strong plan avoids wasted changes. It also helps you choose which skill lines matter first.
Point Sources
The form uses separate fields for common point sources. Leveling points are entered directly. Skyshards are converted by groups of three. Quest points, dungeon points, and alliance points are added as separate totals. This layout lets you update one source without changing the whole plan. It is useful for alts, veterans, crafters, and role focused characters.
Planned Spending
The spending side groups similar choices together. Class actives and class passives can be tracked apart. Weapon skills and weapon passives also stay separate. Armor, guild, world, crafting, morph, and buffer fields complete the estimate. The buffer is helpful. It keeps spare points available for a new skill, trial setup, or later patch change.
Exporting and Review
After calculating, save the report before changing your build. The CSV file works well for spreadsheets. The PDF file is better for sharing or archiving. Keep one report for each character role. Compare reports when you swap weapons, armor weights, or crafting goals. This habit makes long term planning easier. It also helps you spot point shortages before spending gold on resets. Keep notes for future balance changes.
Reading the Result
The result shows total available points, total planned points, remaining points, needed points, and estimated reset cost. A positive remaining value means the setup fits. A negative value means more points are needed. The needed skyshards value shows how many shards would cover the shortage if shards were the only source used.
FAQs
What does this skill calculator do?
It estimates available skill points, planned spending, remaining points, shortage, skyshard need, and possible reset cost for an Elder Scrolls Online character build.
Does it build the character automatically?
No. It is a planning tool. You enter your intended point sources and spending groups. It then checks whether the plan fits.
How are skyshard points calculated?
The calculator divides collected skyshards by three and rounds down. Any leftover shards are shown as unused skyshards.
Can I use it for crafting characters?
Yes. Enter crafting points in the crafting field. Add a buffer if the character will unlock more professions later.
Why is my remaining value negative?
A negative value means your planned spending is higher than available points. Reduce spending or collect more point sources.
What does the reset cost mean?
It multiplies planned spent points by your entered reset cost. Change the cost field if your in-game value differs.
Can I export the result?
Yes. After calculating, use the CSV or PDF buttons above the form to download a simple report.
Can this handle any class?
Yes. The class menu labels your report. The math remains flexible, so it can support many class and role plans.
