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.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. That addon has a very old (i.e. from 08/06/2016) bundled version of LibAddonMenu-2.0, and it has several other bugs mentioned by Baertram in the comments. Since it was a rebranding of someone else's work, I'm guessing the author isn't investing too much time into maintaining it.

The only way to currently reserve specific items for specific characters to research is to put them in that character's backpack. If you want to always give preference to your master crafter, you can use character-specific settings for that character and set the scope to backpack + bank. Then, set the other characters to use backpack only.

I don't currently have any plans to expand this functionality, but I may at some point in the future.

That is a good idea! I'll add it to the list.

I suspect that there is something else preventing the specific pieces of metal armor you wish to be researched from auto-researching. Please review all the settings in the addon settings to ensure that the armor type, trait and quality you wish is configured for auto-research.

Please also see the addon description Configuration section for special notes about locked items, set items, styles and FCO Item Saver handling.

Like the bloodthirsty ring/necklace that is aquired from weekly raid rewards, or the swift ring/necklace all all other non-set items that are just used for research.

The addon doesnt seem to use these for jewelery research even tho they are in my bank or inventory.

The addon already supports jewelry in all traits. I just tested with a Swift necklace, and it worked as expected.

The addon defaults to a max research quality of blue Superior, however. If you wish it to research purple Epic jewelry, you will need to change that setting.

Thank you for putting this together, it is a huge time saver!

I've tested this a few times, and I can't seem to reproduce the issue.

Are you sure that you have at least three skill points allocated to the appropriate research passive? I know there's been some strangeness with skill points this latest patch, so maybe they got reset somehow?
