Scripts explained for the ESO Scribing System

Each ESO Script holds an unique effect that you can apply to your skill. Scripts can be earned through the Scribing questline, daily quest rewards or purchased from the Scholarium and Infinite Archive Vendors.

There are three types of Scripts: Focus, Signature and Affix which are unlocked by doing the Luminary Wings questlines below:

Once a Script is in your inventory, you can consume it to permanently unlock that Script effect for the ESO Scribing system. Scripts are technically not account wide, but you are able to buy or loot a script on one of your characters and transfer it to your other characters by depositing it in your bank.

You can also use the eso-hub scribing database to search for Focus, Signature and Affix Scripts.

Script Drop Chance

100% Guaranteed Script drop from the first daily coffer of each different type of daily quest and a 25% chance for a repeated daily of that type for your account. Nine guaranteed Script drops per day. No duplicate Scripts will drop until you have received all on that character. You can use the achievements to keep track of the Scripts you own: Focus Script Mastery, Affix Script Mastery, Signature Script Mastery, A Signature with Class.

All players, regardless of Gold Road ownership, have a very small chance to receive Scripts via world drops, which are unbound and tradeable.​

ESO Focus Scripts

Focus Scripts add the main effect to your skill in the ESO Scribing system. This might change the type of damage the skill does, or whether the ability targets enemies or allies. Focus Scripts also determine the cost of the ability and whether it takes Magicka or Stamina to use.

Focus Scripts will start dropping from the dailies below and can be bought from the vendors after you have unlocked the Sigil of the Luminary Gryphon on one character.
