re: Elder Scrolls Online is the shite

Researching is how you get those special trait armors.

Most you have to have 3-4 traits researched.

So after farming a ton of stuff, research one(or 2) item in wood/blacksmith/clothing, and deconstruct the rest.

And make sure to pay attention to the blacksmithing dealios. adding skill points makes it easier to upgrade armor, research more items at one time, etc

I could never get all 9. 2 of the 3 high level players i deleted had 8 of the traits for all armor, but wasnt paying an asinine price for the last trait weapon. I should of, but money was tighter then.
