Secret crafting locations

crowfl56 · May 2014

I find lots of secret crafting locations, but rarely can I craft the items that are special to the location. I am almost lvl 50 and have most of the traits in my craft. What is needed to be able to craft items special to those secret craft sites ?

You have to have researched traits on the items. Skill passives are not to be confused with weapon/ armor traits, which can be imbued in a weapon if you have researched it. Examples: Reinforced, Infused, Divines, Weighted, etc.

Each set table requires you know x number of traits per item to craft that item. Starting at 2/8 traits per and climbing up to 8/8 per. If you want to craft a sword for instance, you will need to know the required amount of traits on sword for that table. So depending on the research you have done, you may be able to craft some items but not all items. If you haven't been doing much research at all, you're not going to be able to make any set pieces for quite some time.

that is exactly why I am confused I have 90% of my traits researched in my craft, but rarely am I able to use secret loc.

It's not really possible for you to have 90% of the traits researched since the last trait of each takes 28 days to complete and the game has only been out for 2 months.

You may have the traits spread across your craft, but my understanding is you need the traits researched for each item you want. Just like @nudel‌ said

ok thank you and I happen to be into woodcrafting and every item has all but maybe 2 items not researched, so maybe not 90% but close enough.

You need the required traits in EVERY item you want to craft.
So with your crafting proffession you would only be able to craft bows, staves and shields - but no cloth/medium/heavy armor nor weapons apart from the said.
