Suggestion for Research

deathmasterl_ESO

Okay so as far as I am aware there is no way to check the progress of your different research projects in the game except for going back to a Clothing/Blacksmithing/Woodworking Station.

So my thought is why not add something that displays what projects you currently have going, how much time they have left until completion to one of the menus? You could list it under the Character Tab along with all the other stats. I mean its just something small and minor to add, but I think it would be nice for a lot of people that are crafters to have.

Thoughts?

Agreed.
Items with traits should also show if the trait is known, being researched, or unknown - account wide.

Hmm didn't even think of that, but that would also be amazingly helpful for crafters too, I wouldn't be spending an hour trying to sort through my inventory trying to figure out if I do or don't have a Trait.

Also add this in as well, it would be another great addition to crafting.

I'd hate to bump this, but I think it's a very good idea, along with Kalann's as well.

Get the "AI Research Grid" addon. It's awesome, does everything asked for above, and more.

Once again, this is a game feature that should be native, but accomplished nicely by an add-on.

To be fair, that was intentional by design. When word went out that there would be an online version of TES, a significantly large playerbase begged for and clamored for a robust Modding/Addon system akin to the previous TES titles. ZOS gave us what we asked for. If ZOS had incorporated a more robust UI, then the modding/addon enthusiasts would have less to get excited about. At least this way, both parties are happy.

Sounds like a good idea for someone to make an addon.

In addition to the Research Grid addon that I mentioned above, there's another addon called Research Assistant, which basically adds a notifier next to items in your inventory, and the deconstruction tab at crafting stations, which denotes which items have a trait that has not yet been researched. It goes great hand in hand with the previously mentioned addon.

protip->do yourselves a favor and pick up the "researchassistant" and "researchgrid" addons as previously noted.
