Auto Research Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.0.6

by: silvereyes [More]

PSA: silvereyes is no longer playing ESO, so this addon is looking for a new maintainer. Please reach out to Dolby via PM if you want to take ownership of this addon.

Automatically starts researching traits when at a craft station.

When paired with the Research Craft addon, you can to craft a bunch of research gear to store in your bags/bank, and then have your character automatically research the next item from the stockpile according to your configured priorities.

Dependencies

You must install the following libraries separately from this addon in order for it to work. I highly recommend using the Minion addon manager to simplify this process.

LibAddonMenu
LibSavedVars
LibCustomMenu
LibSets (optional) Only required if configuring entire item sets to be allowed for research.

Use Cases

New players that want to store a bunch of research gear at once in the bank up front so they don't have to go find/buy/request new gear every few hours.
Storing a ton of research gear in your writ alts' bags so you don't have to manage their research manually.
Established crafters that haven't finished research, but tend to forget about it due to the long research times can store 10 or so research items in the bank so they don't have to worry about managing research for several months.

Configuration

The only gear used currently are the following:

No items locked with in-game lock
No items locked with FCO Item Saver (v1.0+ required)
Items marked for research with FCO Item Saver (v1.0+ required)
Quality less than or equal to the maximum configured quality. Default is blue quality (arcane).
Style is one of the configured allowed styles. By default, these include the racial styles plus Ancient Elf, Barbaric and Primal. You can either choose these in settings, or use the Auto Research right click menu to enable the checkbox for the style to allow it.
Non-set equipment, or sets that have been specifically selected. LibSets is required for selecting sets. Once enabled in settings, you can either choose a set manually in settings, or use the Auto Research right click menu to enable the checkbox for the set to allow it.
Only equip slots (e.g. Helm, Cuirass, etc.) that have been assigned a priority under the desired trait line (e.g. Blacksmithing) will be researched, in the priority configured. Equip slots set to (none) will not be researched.

Equipment pieces are selected for research based on fastest research times. For example, if you have all clothing pieces 8 trait researched *except* for medium armor helmets that have 7 traits, then medium armor helmets will be given preference over any other clothing pieces.

Trait research order is customizable under Settings > Addons > Auto Research, with 1 being the highest priority, and 9 being the lowest.

All else being equal, gear in the current player inventory is given preference over gear in the bank, lower quality items are preferred over higher quality ones, and lower level items are preferred over higher level items. You can also choose to select gear from just the current player inventory or just the player bank.

Does this interfere with the lazy writ crafter addon which automatically starts to craft, and exits the crafting station UI when done?

It starts immediately as soon as you interact with a crafting station. It is compatible with Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter version 34.19 or newer. Lazy Writ Crafter starts it's crafting after the research is queued.

Thanks for your awesome addon and help

/Ami

AutoResearch, for historic reasons, defaults to per-character settings. Here is how the "Account wide" setting works:

Toggle the Account Wide setting on for the first character
Set up your settings how you like them
Log in to each of your other characters and choose the "Account Wide" setting
When that setting is enabled on each successive character, the settings from the first that were set *after* toggling the "Account Wide" option will become active.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.

I could use some more details from you before I can accurately diagnose the problem. Please send me a PM with the following details:

The contents of your AutoResearch.lua saved vars file
Character name you are testing with
List of items you expect to be auto-researched on that character with those settings
The location (bag or bank) of each of the items

Thanks!

Check the addon settings to make sure the different filters available aren't excluding all of the items in your inventory and/or bank from being researched automatically. There are many different things (item quality, FCO item saver, item style, item set) that can cause an item to not be researched.

Set items are disabled for auto research by default due to the potentially catastrophic consequences of researching a set item that someone needed to grind a long time for.

There are two ways you can enable set research in Auto Research:

Install LibSets and then specifically choose which sets are okay to research in the Auto Research settings panel or via right click context menu.
Install FCO Item Saver and mark specific items for research. This can get tedious though.

I hope this helps!

Happened today again for clothier & smith stuff. I use only ingame lock. Addon configured to use bank & char inventory. All traits allowed as default, default order. All craft lines enabled. All styles set to allowed for reseach. Do i have to allow explicitly auto research for set items or something like this ? thank you in advance Micke Last edited by Micke2nd : 10/30/19 at 08:23 AM.

Hah, yeah I just seen the "None" option today, sorry I missed that. I finally got around to installing FCO and set Auto Research to just use bank items. That combo works well enough. Thanks for the great addon!

You've got Nirnhoned as "9" for both armor and weapons, but as I recall Nirnhoned is a very popular trait that sells well, and so is Training which is in the middle priority. So while I would assume "1" is the top priority, the way this is set up makes me think "9" is the top priority.

1 = top priority.
The priorities are customizable for a reason. If you want nirnhoned to be higher priority, go ahead.

Edit: To explain a bit further, since Nirncrux is the most expensive armor / weapon trait material, there are much fewer people who want to research it at all. It has always been prioritized lower to allow for people who wanted to churn out 8/8 writ crafters without incurring the cost of the trait stones.

Researching all nirn doesn't make sense as an investment for reselling. Selling any weapons/armor for research - even nirnhoned ones - doesn't really make hardly any money. They are commodities that a large portion of the player base can make ad infinitum, and are usually listed at-cost as a service to newer players that don't already have a 9/9/9 crafting character.

The _only_ reasons to research nirnhoned these days are: a) to use it yourself for crafted items, transmuted items; b) to maximize your master writ drop chances; or c) to be able to craft research items for others as a service, but not for profit.
