Quick Trait question

TRAITS!
Here is my question:
Lets say I research a trait for a dagger...
It looks like an iron dagger in the image.
When my black smith gets up to Steel... Am i going to be re-researching the same trait for steel daggers that i did for iron? or is that just a generic place holder image?

    Changing styles doesn't req changing traits

    Styles certainly aren't affected.
    But the game refers to traits being applied to "types" of items.
    My question is; are Steel and Iron daggers the same "type"?

    Yes. All daggers, regardless of material, benefit from the same research.

    But a sword will not benefit from dagger research.

    Also! When leveling up your blacksmithing ... do you have a friend playing who also will be going blacksmithing?

    No. All traits are permanent, and cover all racial motifs and all levels for that class of item. Once you have researched a trait for daggers, you will have it forever, no matter what other stuff you get in addition to it (like crafting from higher level materials).

    Each trait is specific to that class of item, as they appear in the crafting windows. So two handed swords are considered separate from one handed swords, even though they are both swords.

    mod close thread before it gets necro'd again.
    I should have made it an answerable question, my bad.
