Learning to craft

Not_Lucas · March 2016

I'm starting to learn how to craft but I'm not sure about a few things. To craft sets it requires that you have a minimum amount of traits, is that per armour piece?
Is there a video or website where I can gather this information already?

You have been given some good sources of information on Traits.

Here is some advice. You can make some powerful sets only knowing 2 or 3 traits on each item you want to make and some of the best overall stuff in the game knowing 6 traits. You can get this done if you focus first on the items you will use, as opposed to learning the traits on everything. So, I would concentrate on learning the first 2/3 traits on each item you use, then get those to 6 traits, before starting to learn the traits on the other items.

So, 7 Armors, maybe a shield, and one or two weapon types.

Then, once you have 5 or 6 on the main items you use, then learn the traits on the other items so you can make anything for anyone or for different characters who will use different gear.
