[fixed] ResearchSmithingTrait
 

CraftStore has been using it forever, but after Morrowind people have been randomly having issues with it no longer working. I'm finally experiencing this issue myself.

I have the crafting station open.
I need prosperous for light legs and the game confirms this:


In my bank in slot #206, I have




As you can see, it is not locked and (as already mentioned) the vanilla interface can find it.

I was using CS to try to do it and it wasn't working, so I went direct:

I do not have ESO+ so we know for sure it is indeed BAG_BANK for me.

...and then nothing happens.

Were you interacting with the crafting station when you ran the command?

I had it open, but I wasn't doing anything. The way CS has always worked is that when you have a crafting station open, you can click on the + in the CS UI to initiate researching a trait with a single click. It worked for me normally for a different item out of the bank the day before this issue started (well after Morrowind came out). Yet for some items, it fails to execute, like this one.

I still haven't used my third research slot or that item. I'm not sure if you'd want to clone my character for a testing environment.

I just started researching a sword from my bank and it worked flawlessly. Yet those breeches don't work.

Is it only the pants that don't work? Do they work out of your inventory instead?

Other banked clothing items have also not worked for me and banked items have been an issue for others. I haven't tried from my inventory since no one has reported any issues with researching from there.

So today I decided I'd just research it through the vanilla interface because I'm missing out on these sick trait gainz. Well...THAT'S BROKEN TOO! :D

I didn't realize you guys use that function in the vanilla UI rather than something with different permissions. So yeah, I can not research these breeches in my bank by direct function call or vanilla UI.

Today I tried researching them from my inventory: doesn't work either. Rather than it being a bank/specific item issue, I can no longer use my third clothier slot, it seems.

I had a similar problem:
- You have two items with the same trait
- One is locked with build-in lock and one is not
- Both are not available for research.
In my case nirnhorned light shoes.

Unlocking the one item, both get listed for research. And can be researched.

I'll check for that possibility tonight. Chip had said the lock issue was fixed internally, but I'm pretty sure I was still having this one more recently: http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6912

This repro should be fixed in the next patch along with a number of improvements to locking and the crafting UIs.

Nope. I do not have any other prosperous breeches. I can not research any of the other clothier items I've tried either, which makes me believe it is that my third slot is not working properly.

Now that I can prove it: my third slot is busted. Those same breeches that haven't worked, worked the moment I researched them as my second slot, but now I can't put anything in my third (still).

All slots still work on Blacksmithing.

If today's patch was supposed to do anything for me, it did not. Still have a broken 3rd clothing slot.

Can you post a video of the bug? We haven't been able to reproduce it.

Here's an mp4 of it. At the end when the box closes, it's because I used E. Clicking it doesn't change anything. All addons were disabled as well. https://ufile.io/i117c

Thanks for the video. I don't see any error message in the top right which is strange because any server error should be messaged there. So I can only guess the client is preventing or not sending the research request. I added a bunch of error output to the ResearchSmithingTrait API. Once that goes live you can try again and see if there is a specific error.

When I had two researching, I couldn't research a third. Then one finished, I researched a second and then I researched a third. So as far as I can tell, I can research properly again.
