Research Roulette

Blkadr · February 2018

So I go to research a weapon/armor piece and yay, apparently I have 5 swords with traits I can learn. So I pick one and it says "choose an item to research" and... there's no options. So I go the second sword with another trait and... there's no options. Over and over through multiple things that apparently I CAN learn but am not allowed to.

Now I've heard that these are items locked in my bank, but I don't remember it being this way before. Before, when something was locked in the bank, it didn't show as an available trait to learn at all, it just didn't appear. It didn't say you have 5 swords you can research and then have 0 available to you. Can we please just not show these traits available to research when they're locked? It's very misleading and frustrating.

Wait, these are items that are locked in the bank? I wish I’d known that before. I thought it was a bug.

That's what I was told by someone, I really hope it's a bug that would have a chance of being fixed someday. I dunno why I'd have training stuff locked in my bank to be honest.

I lock equipment for traits I need to research on alts all the time. Mostly because I don't want one of my characters (who does NOT need to learn it) to deconstruct the item.

That's what I'm saying, let's go back to not showing these items as researchable when they're locked (unless of course it's a bug, in which case just fix it already).
