Improving researched traits?

kyang03ub17_ESO

So my question is, is it possible to improve the traits you have already researched? For example attack speed increased by 2, and you find one that increased it by 6. How can you improve it to use the better one? or you can't? Is it once you researched a trait your stuck with the first one you researched?

From what I can tell traits are improved by upgrading the item's quality. White to green to blue and so on.

Thats how I take it as well.

Correct, the trait effects increase as you improve the item. I did notice that all the trait gems are Level 1, so I suppose they could conceivably add new ranks of more powerful trait gems at some point in the future. I doubt we would see something like that any time soon, if ever though. It really all depends on their extended plans for the crafting system.

I think its set to level 1 so the 1 level character can use it. While I would welcome the expansion of the crafting system it would penalize those who maxed crafting already on those research timers. Literally it would take in some cases days if not weeks to learn traits if they added more. Where as if the newer stuff was out already someone who didn't research those yet could have them sooner. Somethings got to give if they add newer stuff later.

Not necessarily. I wasn't talking about adding new traits, just new ranks of the existing trait gems. In theory if they ever added a new rank, any crafter who already learned that trait would not have to re-learn it, the new ranks of gems would just have higher attributes.

It's likely a moot point anyway since the gems already scale up with item improvement. Adding more powerful gems would cause them to scale up even further and could easily become unbalanced. But who knows, if/when they ever raise the level cap or change how the traits scale it could come into play at some point.

More ppl will reach lvl cap so expansions need to be harder so items need to be stronger. they will definetly adf new traits or let us upgrade the curent ones. i hope both
