Update 28: monster sets included & can you create any trait or only if you collected that trait?

Question: If you reconstruct a piece of gear in your collections is it bound to you or can it be traded?

It's bound to your account.

Another question: Can we reconstruct gear at any level or just the max level of the crafter?

Question : do the recon actually use up trait/style mats, or is it not needed at all ?

Thanks for all those infos and in advance for the eventual response

The items are always the same level as your character. A level 3 character for example can only make level 3 items.

Monster sets, arena weapons and mythic items are an exception, they cannot be lower than level 50.

It doesn't use trait or style mats, only transmute crystals and upgrade mats.
You can only make traits that your current character has researched and the amount of upgrade mats used depends on your upgrade passive in the respective crafting skill line. It's the same amount you would need for upgrading the items the usual way.

Next on U29, transmute crystal on crown store.

Do you deconstruct an item you’ve reconstructed in the normal manner at a typical workstation or do you deconstruct it in some other way like at the transmute station?

I have a collection of light medium heavy and hairy nords can i put them in the collections?

I think this is a massive oversight from ZOS because this system will ruin the shoulder farm from undaunted and the antiquity lead thing. Once you have one shoulder/helmet from every weight you are done. Once you have 1 lead, you are done.
Don't get me wrong this is actually good as it reduces our need to farm but it is as if these systems especially antiquity that is relatively new have been ignored.

Now the real issue is does this system pertain to crafted sets? because if it does crafters are going to be flooded with work and then completely abandoned.

Crafted sets can not be reconstructed.
In practice reconstruction makes all gear craftable, you just use transmute crystals rather than raw materials and style stone.

Thanks all for the replies & information shared- I'm sure some of my other questions I will probably have, have been answered
too

... grinding dungeons for specific duplicates of sets/items I already have that I need, which is what I've mostly been doing for a while now...

Same lol.

They also keep tweaking and changing the sets and I've deconned many that were not all that good only to need to re-grind them later when they get buffed and I want to use them.

Yeah I hate it when that happens & also agonizing over what should I keep or not when trying to free up some space in my bank, home storage & character inventories.

Knowing I can construct an item or multiple duplicates of an item I've collected rather than endlessly regrinding something makes me very happy!

So...say you have items in your book. You have multiple characters that want to equip the item (say, multiple DPS magic users, so example: False God neck).

Once you have the item in your collection, can you reconstruct multiples so each character that wants one - gets one?

BECAUSE OH MY GOD THAT WOULD HELP ALTAHOLICS!

Yes, that is how it works. Including Mythic items, apparently.
