What is your favorite and least favorite crafting trait and why?

Mansome

For me its always been infused. Its made a huge difference for me because I would always be running out of magicka or stamina. Having the armor infused with those made those long battles not so hard since potions take too long to come back up. For weapons its also infused the procs that happen kind of help with managing the stamina/magicka problem too because it takes fewer hits to kill stuff.

Least favorite is exploration or training. Reason I dont like exploration is that for me the game is about the journey and not the destination. I always take my time to do most if not all the quests before moving on to the next level range. Any extra xp makes me over leveled which makes the game not as fun. Same thing goes for training, the way I level my skills is that I switch out skills or armor just before a quest turn in to get the most bang for my buck on leveling them. So the end result is the skills get maxed out pretty fast on their own.

It all depends. If I am leveling an Armor skill, Training is the best trait to have. Otherwise Armor takes forever to level. Same with weapons really. I run Training on all my armors until I get to the point where I have unlocked the Passives I want.

Exploration is great to put on a set of gear when first entering a zone or just out of the Wailing Prison. Other than that, kind of meh.

For in game, I use Infused or Divines on Armor, and Precise or Sharpened on Weapons if I am not leveling the skill.

No least favorite I enjoy all of them. Favorite depends on the class I'm playing at the time.

Least favourite would be exploration, because I love exploring and tend to overlevel content just by doing every single quest. Training is useful though - I use armour with that trait in every piece so by Vet 1 all armour skills are max level, which allows me then to build my character with more freedom after that. Still, from that point onward, nirnhoned, divines and infused are the way to go. I do not PVP, otherwise I might also use impenetrable.

For weapons, I like sharpened or precise. One I never used is charged... I keep forgetting to enchant my weapons anyway
