I have 9 traits researched with woodworking, and therefore appreciate the time and money involved in researching. With the introduction of higher material requirements for vr16 crafted items reducing the practicality of crafting and selling items on the open market, this has meant income potential being limited to crafting to order.
Considering the above, how does everyone feel about 9 trait Bind on Pickup crafted sets being made available. Assuming the sets are actually useful, they would not only give crafters a bit of recompense for the increase in material requirement (and loss of trading income), but also given the nerf to nirnhoned traits, give an incentive to research nirnhoned. I know most do it for the ability to craft 9 trait items, but there is definitely less incentive to research 9 traits now than there was before.
The sets could offer bonuses to the following:
Crafting - reduce the material requirements by 10%.
Refining - chance in double the materials refined.
Harvesting - chance to double the raw materials harvested.
Improvement - chance to reduce the number of Tannins, Resins or Tempers used.
Thoughts?
