Utility skill is a term used to describe the skills that fit in the three non-specific slots on the skill bar. They consist mostly of profession skills, but some racial skills are utility skills as well. Profession skills are unlocked sequentially using hero points, which are gained from different hero challenges and from gaining levels. They vary in cost from 2 to 5 points. Once a skill has been unlocked, it can be equipped at any time outside of combat.

The three utility skill slots unlock left to right as players level. Slot 1 unlocks at level 11, slot 2 at 15, and slot 3 at 19.[1]
