trait analysis failes
Bug #: 2589

Status: Not a Bug
I am new with ESO and Research Assistant, so maybe I am wrong, but I think I have found an ugly bug.

I have one char for all professions and several bank chars for storing items for later analysis in their bags. So my bank chars take all for analysis marked items into their bags, while storing as duplicate marked items from the bag into the bank for deconstruction with my profession char. While doing this, i remarked items which are marked for analysis in the bank and after I take them out of the bank, they are marked as duplicates in my bag. Therefore I cannot trust the marking at the moment.

Hey there,

welcome to ESO

ResearchAssisatnt builds a kind of preference value on each item with a trait and compares the following things:
-quality
-item level
-Set item or not
-where is it (bank, bag)
-slotindex in the bag

All together produce an integer number where the lowest number is the one to use for reasearch (red icon) and all others with a highe rnumber and same trait will be duplicates (yellow).

As the bag where the item lays plays a BIG role here moving it between bags can change this preference value in total and make items marked for research -> duplicate now e.g.

The order of "priority" in the bags is (where lower = will be priorized for research)
[BAG_BANK] = 1,
[BAG_SUBSCRIBER_BANK] = 1,
[BAG_BACKPACK] = 2,
[BAG_GUILDBANK] = 3,

So moving items from the bank (which is the best place to put your items for reearch obviously as all chars can access it!) to your bag will raise the score and therefor the item might become a duplicate now.

There is no real possibility in changing this but maybe I can add some sort of "priority change setting" for the bags to use in teh future.
