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.

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.

This is a bug in LibSets itself, not Auto Research. I'll coordinate with Baertram to get it fixed.

I haven't changed the main research code for this addon in a while, and ZOS hasn't updated the server code or API recently either, so I'm not sure why it would suddenly just stop working for you. Some common things to check:
  • Metallurgy skill points. If those got reset at some point, you may have fewer research slots than expected.
  • Check that the items you want to research aren't locked.
  • Check Styles to Research and Item Sets to Research settings. Compare to the items you want to research.
  • Check the "Bags to search for equipment to research" setting and compare to the bag that the equipment is actually in.
  • Make sure the items aren't locked, either with the game lock, or FCO item saver

Auto Research not working

I've been using this Addon for quite a while now, and I love it. But I have now a problem with the blacksmith skill line: it doesn't detect anymore that I have open research slots or items that could be researched. Here are my settings (I somehow can't upload a picture):

Bags to search for equipment to research: Inventory and Bank

Trait lines: Blacksmithing
Enabled: ON
Max Quality: Epic

Trait lines: Clothing
Enabled: ON
Max Quality: Superior

Trait lines: Woodworking
Enabled: ON
Max Quality: Superior

Maybe some additional info: This problem started to occur as I disabled for a short while the woodworking trait line. And since I turned it back on, the blacksmith line isn't working anymore.

Thanks for the help!

Hello

is there anyway that i can configure this add on to also uses items with "marked for deconstruction" tag from FCO item saver too ?

so basically it uses both marked for research and marked for deconstruction items, would be really helpful because i have setting to mark items for decon automatically and would be nice to use them for research too if its possible


thanks for this amazing add on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit , i think i managed to do it myself, i just added a new function function class.Validator:IsFcoisDeconstructionMarked() which will return true if slot is marked for decon then later in validate section also call it to check if item is called, works well for now, i will upload validator.lua file, would be awesome if you can add a setting that allows this to your add on

What sorts of errors? Have you updated since Aug 15? The newer versions address any conflicts with Lazy Writ Crafter.

Lower level normal gear should always take precedence over higher level blue gear, by default.

Since the items you want to research are in the bank, is the bank one of the configured "Bags to search for equipment to research"?

It would be good to have the ability to turn on some debug text perhaps to see why it is not kicking off a research attempt when it should.
When all of your addons are enabled, does the Auto Research settings panel appear in the addon settings menu?

What about if you only enable Auto Research and Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter (and their dependencies).
It is in the settings menu if that is what you mean. I can set all that stuff.

I would note that I would prefer a "max quality" overall setting rather than tying it to each item, but I can live with it as it is now. I did have Normal setup but just switched the main 3 to Blue. Though I would prefer it default to some level 1 crafted gear I have in the bank for research purposes already.

Let me know what else to look for and I will try to keep my eyes open since all these alts will now be doing a lot of research.
