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.

So, it chooses to train the lightning staff instead of the frost staff.
I noticed in the settings that the priorities are 1,2,3 down on the left side, and then 4,5,6 on the right, going down. Maybe it is incorrectly labeled? What if the priorities should be 1,2 left to right, then down one and 3,4 then 5,6? So left to right and then down one line, instead of down left and then down right?
IDK, i'm out of ideas.

Another thing it did is choose a mace over a sword or dagger, as i had selected. And the mace wasn't the training option, which was first on that list. And it failed to use the 2nd selection, research slot. I had to do that myself, for blacksmithing. For clothing though it did both, but it skipped boots and went to helmet though i had told it to put boots first.

I think i've got it. I read that it does prioritize low times over anything else, so something that isn't trained, if not deselected will receive higher priority than something that has 1 or 2 traits trained.

Perfectly reasonable, considering the greater chance of drops for having everything trained up. And you can deselect it otherwise.

it failed to research again; it did one but not 2 blacksmithing items; i tried putting the priority at the top for the other one, because it was epic, and tried changing the max quality to legendary, but nothing; wound up doing it manually; i have all the style options on

Re: Re: Re: AutoResearch not working

Strange - today it worked again. Same char, nothing else changed. Had some cloth and leather items to research and it used them without problems. Don't know. Only difference: yesterday I had the items in my own inventory, today the were in my bank.

Now I have a pair of normal iron boots in my inventory (white, no set, nothing special) and I can manually start research, but it won't start automaticly. Perhaps something in the greymoor-update has changed ?

Which item specifically do you think it should be researching? Does it meet the criteria outlined in the description page? Check that quality and item style are allowed. If it has a set, make sure the set is allowed (LibSets required). Make sure it's not locked somehow, or protected by FCOItemSaver.

Are you aware on this problem?

There's no priority mechanism between characters right now. The best way to handle this situation currently would be to do a little bit of inventory management, by shifting around research items between the bank and backpacks until everything you want the alts to research is in only their backpacks. Then you can set the option to only use the backpack, not the bank, on each alt.

I know it's a chore if you just want to use dropped gear for research, so I'll definitely consider adding some sort of priority mechanism in the future. But this makes the addon more complicated because it requires scanning and remembering each character's research status in saved variables, and that requires logging in to each alt to get current status. It's definitely possible, but just not something I have time to code right now.

The only way this would happen would be if FCO Item Saver also had the item marked for research *and* FCOIS had a bug with its function for checking if an item is locked. I'll check into the latter, although I suspect that you accidentally marked it for research instead of locking it. It's easy enough to do.
