'''Skill schools''' are areas in ''Eternal Lands'' where a player receives an advantage when performing a certain skill.

Most skill schools work in a simple way: you mix any item of the appropriate skill, and instead of receiving the item, you receive double the experience. This applies within [[alchemy]], [[potion]], [[crafting]], [[manufacturing]], [[engineering]] and [[tailoring]] schools. The item you mix must have a recommended level greater than 0 for the school to have an effect. Failed and critically failed attempts work as usual. Mixing items of other skills than the school's specialty is not affected. On a [[Special Days#Day of Schools|Day of Schools]], you will receive triple the experience instead of double.

For [[magic]], there are special PK arenas where only offensive magic spells can be used. For [[summoning]], there are arenas where the mana cost is halved. For [[ranging]], there are arenas where a stationary creature may be targeted. There are no schools for attack, defense, or [[harvesting]]. In addition, there are some areas labeled on maps as schools but are not yet functional.

A * indicates the schools closest to storage.  Some schools may not be functional, and some untested ones may be miscategorized.  Please add notes and edit as appropriate.

=== [[:Category:Combat|Attack and defense]] ===
Being the skills with the fastest leveling possible at the moment, with the option to train with other players in PK areas, and with a [[Special Days#Day of Sun Tzu|special day]] that doubles the experience, these skills will most likely not get a functioning school in the usual sense.

=== [[:Category:Harvesting|Harvesting]] ===
There most likely won't be a school for this skill.

=== [[:Category:Magic|Magic]] ===
There are some ''magic arenas'' where offensive PVP spells work, but other means of PVP combat (weapons, summoning, ranging, engineering) do not.  These magic arenas do ''not'' give twice the experience; they are for training with other players in a PVP environment restricted to magic only.  The [[Mana Drain Spell]] does not give experience in these areas.  The only way to receive twice the experience for magic is during a [[Special Days#Day of Magic|special day]].  Some magic schools also have full PK arenas where other means of combat will work.  Known arena locations are:
* [[File:Tarsengaard 25px.png]] [[Tarsengaard]] [[Magic School]] north of town at [183,315] - There is also a full PK arena somewhere inside the school.
