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.

Won't Automatically Start Researching

This could be VERY hard to figure out, but I have found that it does not start researching on my characters now, even though appropriate gear is in the bank. I did disable all my other addons (extensive) and it did research, so I am not sure where the conflict is. Now the item is being researched, so I can't narrow it down.

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.

Thanks for the detailed report! This should now be fixed in version 3.0.4.

This seems to cause an endless loop of "Research Error" to be output at the top right - and also seems to be bugging out LazyWritCrafter as well.

Hi great addon.

Im using it with lazy writ, and might add some info.

When doing daily writ and have research gear in bank, and going to a bench, an error top right says "can't craft", lazy writ addon creates its daily, and your error message flashes.

I tried doing a /reloadui and going to same bench just after, then AR does its research.

For me it seems like lazy writ and AR fights to do its job at the same time.

If I use AR before getting the daily writ quests, there is no problem.

I hope this helps.

EDIT: found the conflict in my case, it was writworthy. after taking addon writworthy, libmotif and libprice off, it works again.

Thank you. That is helpful to know. Lazy Writ Crafter support is pretty deeply integrated into Auto Research.
It's possible that something has changed with Lazy Writ Crafter's implementation details that breaks the integration. I'll investigate further when I have time.

Do you recall if there were any sort of Auto Research messages logged to the chat right before the research errors started? If you don't recall, could you please check if/when this happens to you again?

Thanks!
Alright so it seems that one research gets true then the message "you are still to busy" busy pops up and cancels the research? Chat displays a AR Research but when i check at the bench there is none. And after that the error messages appear

Update: As of now somehow nothing gets auto researched anymore without me changing anything

I've seen this sort of thing happen before, but it seems totally random. I don't think you've done anything wrong. My guess is that there is some return from the game API that Auto Research isn't handling gracefully, but it's hard to know without steps to consistently reproduce the problem.

It's helpful to know that a reloadui/relog clears up the problem without any changes to your inventory. That helps narrow it down. Thank you for that information.

Out of curiosity, what language is your game set to? Most game errors in English related to item research use the term "Research" not "Analyze". Knowing the language might help me track down the source of the error.

Deleting the saved vars file fixed it. I don't know what causes it, but somehow, a bunch of text string values get added to the saved vars instead of the expected numeric values. I suspect that there is some other addon doing it, but I don't know which. I've never been able to reproduce the problem.

Hello,

There is something wrong with your saved vars file. Could you please private message me with the contents of your SavedVariables/AutoResearch.lua file, so I can see what went wrong?

Thanks,
silvereyes
