Unable to research trait even tho I do have all mats needed.
I have a weapon with a trait which I want to research and in the UI it says "researchable".
I do have trait gems needed for this research (in my case turquoise).
When I try to research it tells me that I don't have gems needed for research.
Any idea why it happens?
Ps. I'm playing new char after a few years of inactivity so maybe it doesn't recognize gems which were collected on my first/old char?

✭✭✭✭✭You don't use any "gems" when you are researching...
Do you have open research slots? (base is only 1 item at a time, can put points into passives to up it to a maximum of 3)
You already said you have an item with the trait. Is the item locked?

DBZVelena✭✭✭✭✭trait gems you use for crafting AFTER you researched the trait off a looted item with that trait.
So the steps are:
have a free research slot.
have a looted/bought item with the trait you want to research. (has to be same weapon or armor piece as what you later want to craft.)
research the trait.
wait for it to finish researching, (between 5 hours and 2 months, depending on number of traits.)
Go to craft item ui, select there your researched trait on the item you researched. you'll see the trait gems in the ui there.
Select right level of item you want to craft. (anything higher than level 14 needs skill points in the crafting skill line.)
Select trait you want on your item.
Craft.
And you get a white item with selected level and trait. To get it to become green, blue, purple and yellow. You'll have to upgrade it, in the upgrade part of the crafting ui. number of items needed there is again depending on how many skill points you've spent.
Hope this helped?What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?

✭✭✭✭✭Best thing to do, @LukeFRAGWARS, is post a screenshot of your issue so forum-goers can help.
As @tmbrinks pointed out, the number of trait stones you have in your inventory does not affect your research ability.1 -
Solved the problem. IT was the stupidest thing ever which is.... i didn't select the item from the list
Since I've had one item to research I assumed that w/e is displayed for me is already "chosen".
Ohh well at least I figured it out on my own haha
Sorry for wasting your time guys
Cheers!2 -
SoLooney✭✭✭✭✭You dont need anything to research the item, you either have full research slots or you have it researched0
