Researching traits in Woodworking in The Elder Scrolls Online is important, than only once you have researched a trait you can craft bows, staves or shields with that specific trait. In addition, if you plan to craft specific sets, they usually require a certain amount of researched traits for it to be craftable.Example:
- Hunding's Rage Set - Requires 6 researched traits before you can even attempt to craft it.

- The ingame Crown Store also offers Instant Woodworking Research scrolls that can reduce the time needed for trait research.
Woodworking has a total of 6 items:
- 1 Bow
- 4 Staves
- 1 Shield
That means you will have to research 6 x 9 = 54 traits in total!
Carpentry Passive
The passive Carpentry reduces the overall time needed to research traits and it also allows you to increase the amount of traits that you can research at a time. You should place skill points into this passive as soon as it levels up if you want to focus on researching traits.Carpentry Passive

- Level 3 - 20% Research Time Reduction, 3 items research
- Level 4 - 25% Research Time Reduction, 3 items research, limits max research time to 30 days.
Research Order
You should decide on a specific research order. The first few traits will be researched in no time, therefore it is recommended to research the more important traits at the beginning and the more useless traits at the end.For you to research a trait you need bow, staff or shield pieces with the trait that you want to research, you can either get these from monsters, quests or you can buy them in the guild store.
Conclusion Woodworking Trait Research
While the Woodworking trait research is not particularly difficult, it requires alot of time and careful planning. Players often forget about it and the days or weeks pass without researching anything, that means it will take way longer to research all the traits.
