Trait & Style Change Option

neo7185

I wanted to bring this issue back up in hopes that it will be considered by the devs. Most of the other posts I could find about this were several months old.

We are at a point in the game where this has become a necessity. With so many fundamental changes to traits and with more crafting styles coming out every patch, a method for us to make these changes has to happen. Yes, I understand that we can always make new gear and I'm sure the heavy farmers wouldn't want this. However, when you have multiple characters the cost associated with crafting new sets can get incredibly expensive if you're trying to stay in legendary gear. I would even be fine with this being a "gem" that you buy from the crown store that allows the change. Not preferable, but a crown store option would be better than nothing.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Any chance this has already been talked about or considered?

I was thinking about this the other day and wondering the same thing. I would love to see the option for a style change for sure.

Thanks for the response Cinnamin, this thread got buried quick. Don't agree with the trait change?

Yes, I agree. If they can change the trait characteristics then we should be able to change the trait on our equipment as well. You can overwrite existing enchantments on equipment. Why not traits?

I wholeheartedly agree. Whilst I'm not a vain person irl, one of the things I love when gaming is to tweak and dress up my characters. I really hate that this game has so little customization when it comes to armor.

No problem! But trait changes I do agree with too, I've made mistakes crafting my armor with the wrong trait and have had to remake it. But lately I've been thinking more on the style change side with the new motifs and everything. They would both be great to have, nonetheless!

Yes, we were all talking about this just last night.

I really like the idea of a gem (like the Mimic stone) purchasable in Crown Store that allows you to change the Style and Trait of your gear. That would be a great solution!!

They already added the style change, go to the crown store.

As for the trait change, hell no that would defeat the purpose of crafting new gear, that would kill the market.

No, there is no such change in the Crown Store.

You can buy Mimic Stones to craft a new piece of gear when you do not have any style stones, but there is currently no way to take an old piece of gear and change the style of it.

Wouldn't kill the market as not everyone spends money in the Crown Store. When traits are changed in an update, gear can become useless to a character. That's an issue when the gear is Gold and getting the rare Gold upgrades is very costly in either time or in game money

What is in the crown store that allows for style change?

I would agree with you on the traits, if said traits never changed, but why should we have to pay 200k gold per armor set for something that is out of our control?

And to be clear, i'm only referring to being able to change the traits on crafted gear. While fundamental trait changes also affect non-crafted items, the ability to change the traits on monster helms for example would be another big hit to undaunted runs.

Still looking for a response from anyone at ZOS on whether or not this is being considered.
