I've made a few mock-ups of what the Slate-Gray Summoned Bear collectible might look like if it was implemented as a Skill Style. As you know, Skill Styles use the icon of the base morph of the skill, which is recolored to match what the Skill Style looks like.

For instance, here's how I think it might look like in the menu, compared to the Regeneration skill with the "Regeneration, Azure Blue" Skill Style equipped:


Then, keeping in mind that Skill Style icons continue to use the recolored icon of the base morph of the skill, here is what Wild Guardian with Slate-Gray Summoned Bear might look like, compared to Combat Prayer with the "Blessing of Protection, Sky Blue" Skill Style:



Here's what it might look like in the menu for applying the Slate-Gray Summoned Bear skin on Feral Guardian and its morphs:


And here's how it might look in the Skill Styles section of the Appearance Menu, with the name changed to "Feral Guardian, Slate Gray" to match the naming convention:



@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin Was Slate-Gray Summoned Bear considered at all when developing the Skill Styling system, and is there a chance that it will be integrated into the Skill Styling system?

im currently assuming that right now this first past is mostly for non-class skill styles, they might go back and update it when they likely do class skill styles in a future update (so its more consistently done)

not sure what other kind of technical stuff they have it set up as right now for the bear style

If they expand this system to class abilities that will probably be when they move it. So they can avoid complaints about other classes not having them, and distance themselves from expectations of well they moved the Slate Gray bear to class styling so that definitely means they will do them for other classes if they decide not to incorporate class skills into the styling system down the line.

As of this PTS, Slate-Gray Summoned Bear is a Skill Style!





I suspect we may see a new icon for this Skill Style in the future, but regardless, this is a huge step forward!

Uh, but what about those of us with Wardens who don't own Gold Road? Suddenly moving it to Skill Styles that we don't have access to isn't going to make it suddenly unavailable, is it? Like, Skill Styles are locked to me. (I've had Morrowind since it was announced back in 2017, but I do not own Gold Road.)

skill styles are base game

a lot of the initial ones are unlocked with gold road related content, but they have since added several more that do not require gold road

u43 added 6 skill styles which can be earned through mostly base game content (3 can be bought with undaunted keys, or archival fortunes, and soon to include tel var, the other 3 are earned from achievements, which do require some dlc content to complete, but i dont know if the fragments from those are tradeable, though i doubt it)
