Imagine they release a 10th Crafting Trait alongside a new Crafted Set to go with it, but since it has to be researched first no one would be able to use that Set for months.

I just started my last bit of research! In less than 30 days I'll be a 9 trait crafter on everything. Wow that has taken a long time.

Enjoy your whole new level of uselessness. You’ll quickly find out that the time waiting wasn’t really worth it as there is not much of worth you can do as a „master crafted“ unfortunately.

exactly 30 daysat least as long as you still have the 4 points in the research time reduction + multiple researches passive. at the last rank these passives say that researching a trait takes 30 days at maximum.
