List of common skills

Note: This list does not include temporary common skills (i.e. disguises and forms skills, mission-specific skills, mini-game skills, etc.) or any of the skills which are commonly available only during the special events.

Skills that players can learn that are not tied to any profession are called common skills. With the sole exception of Resurrection Signet, all common skills are PvE only by default.
