Crafting Completion

randolphbenoit

As of last night the last trait to be research completed. After a year my main toon (character) now has all crafting maxed and research done (now time for fishing lol). While most use multiple toons doing one was much harder. I like to know how many others have all crafting skills, research and achievements (on one character) done.Also now you finished crafting what are your new goals?

My first character is my crafter. I finished all the 9th traits about 3 weeks ago and have all other professions maxed out. I made the decision back a year ago I would go this way, yes it would take longer to do, but in the long run it pays off in money and just the convenience of having one character being about to do it all.

I started this thread a few months ago on the topic. You may find it interesting.

I slack on nirn research but I will eventually get there.... my main is lvl'ed in all crafts, and I want to learn all the recipes on her too. I'm a completionist....

Natjur

My main toon has finished everything on one toon, so I released the skill points and waiting for a 9 trait armor set that is worth making.

Thx

My first character is my max crafter. As of 5/29 I will be done with all of my trait researches and can't wait! The problem now, is that the upcoming DLC will probably add 3 more traits....DOH!

I almost have 5 of the Heavy Armor in Nirn, just started Light Armor last night (first 3 pieces). I also know a Nirn Shield, Sword, and Dagger. No Medium as of yet.

I have a long way to go, but only recently started acquiring enough gold to go after this stuff. And, since it does not come up for me farming, buying it is the only way for me.

Yup just finished everything exactly on May 9th. There are a few more people that got there first before me, though as evident in Ourorboros' thread .

Such an accomplishment.

I know, I feel like I should enjoy the accomplishment of research completion during this brief period while it lasts, because once they finally start releasing DLC, it'll be on to the next new trait(s).

I remain marginally hopeful that we will get some useful 9 trait crafting stations with upcoming DLC, but suspect it's more likely they'll start throwing 10 trait sets at us instead!

@Slurg If they plan on a 10th trait I wish they release now as I need something to do!

Personally I feel like we have enough traits in the game. People don't use them as it is. There's no point in adding another trait really unless they make them all more viable. Sturdy, I've made less than 5 sturdy items EVER that weren't a research item. Everyone wants infused, or divines, or nirnhoned or reinforced even more than impenetrable these days. As far as weapon traits, forget about it, it's precise or sharpened and an occasional nirnhoned. That's it.

Yes, those are the most popular ones. However Training is a great trait for the first levels of the game, and or when grinding up a new weapon/armor skill. Esp with the recent buff. I ran Training on all my single pieces of armor while leveling (5/1/1 set up) to get them to level to 50 before my character was at L50.

Exploration is good for the first 10 levels or so. Especially if you travel the map going to different Guild Mates.

One that really surprised me was Well Fitted. I made a set of gear with that on all 7 pieces and all medium armor. That character could sprint forever. Well, almost forever, but certainly from one farming node to another one.

Traits like Sturdy would be more popular if they have more of an impact on the degradation of the armor.

So, there are really useful traits, and some traits that are useful in given situations.

I do agree that some traits do need to be overhauled or buffed.

Slurg

Well fitted is surprisingly useful in certain situations like those annoying timed quests. I like exploration on veterans for the Cadwell's zones too. Training is good for the weapon lines I just never got around to leveling.

I'd much rather see existing traits adjusted over having new ones added, but I just can't imagine that the powers that be would let us be finished with research for good. Hopefully it'll be a little while before we're sent off to chase the next new trait though.

Smithing finished in 12d and clothing in 17d, still 3 items to research.

Then a respec to get back 8 skills points from passive researchs, already did it in woodworking, because it's still hard.

Still need to collect ~2800 craft nodes and refine 1600 items.
I had leveled my craf before the achievement was live so I still didn't finished it.


Greatly think that in next update or maybe the next one in sept/october, we'll got our 10th trait to get an equivalent to Nirm for stam players. I should be fun to find that ressource only in Orc zones. Crafters should be ready for that.

Also improve useless traits :

- Ajusted trait. maybe add speed movement too. That'll make nightblades a bit harder to follow but less resistants. ( + speed movement +1%white / 2%green / 3%blue / 4%purple / 5%gold) 7 items will get a +21/35% with is a good horse.

- Solid one, because it's totally unwanted. Make the thing that a solid gold item is 100% repair free. (40% white, 55%green, 70% blue, 85% purple, 100% gold).

- Charged on weapons trait should also get a boost. Maybe merge it with Energized which also need (a bit) more love, and make Charged something else. who use charged weapons ?
