Ability Books are special consumable items that drop primarily from dungeons and elite challenges, with some exceptions. By consuming them, or ‘learning’ an ability, the user is capable to use that ability permanently in any ability rotation they create, regardless of their equipped loadout.

There are currently 23 abilities that can be learned from ability books, including abilities for all three combat styles, defensive abilities and team support abilities.
