Environment effect

An environment effect is a type of skill that is triggered rather than activated; it cannot be learned or used by any creature. Triggers include certain types of terrain, proximity to an NPC, certain locations, and holding specific bundles. Some environmental effects vary, depending on the area or mission.

Environmental effects are shown with a green border in the effects monitor (by default, at the top left corner of your screen). They cannot be removed and can only be prevented by avoiding the relevant trigger.

Flux effects affect all PvP areas.
