The Arcanist is a unique class in The Elder Scrolls Online, introduced with the Necrom chapter. Harnessing forbidden knowledge from the realm of Apocrypha, Arcanists wield runes, tentacles, and glyphs to master damage, shield allies, and restore health. This guide covers every Arcanist skill line — Herald of the Tome, Soldier of Apocrypha, and Curative Runeforms — with full details on skills, morphs, ultimates, and passives. Whether you want to play a damage dealer, tank, or healer, the Arcanist provides powerful tools for every role.
