[B][COLOR="Yellow"]1st June 2016: [I]I have retired from AIRG. The add-on will now be officially maintained by Ayantir. Thanks for stepping forward.[/I] :)[/COLOR][/B]


[B]AI Research Grid allows you to quickly and easily see which traits you have researched for Blacksmithing, Clothing & Woodworking, wherever you are in the world.[/B]

[B][I][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Features:
[LIST]
[*]Support for viewing multiple characters on the same account!
[*]Shows which motifs/styles you have learned on each character.
[*]Shows a timer for research on ALL characters (not just the one you're logged in as).
[*]Can display all known traits as a composite (ALL Mode)
[*]Can display how to update a character (Relative Mode)
[*]Shows Chapters known for chapter based traits.
[/LIST][/COLOR][/I][/B]

To open/close the addon, either type the command "/airg" or preferably open the Keybindings set-up and set a key to toggle the addon on/off.

When the addon main window appears, you will see icons at the top-left of the window, representing Blacksmithing, Clothing & Woodworking.

You will also see a dropdown box at the top-right that allows you to select the character to view. The data on other characters will be up-to-date as of the last time you logged out on that character. This means you need to login each character before their data will display.

Click on the icon for the craft profession you wish to see information on.

A table will be displayed, showing which traits you have researched for each item type.

[LIST]
[*]Green check - you have researched this trait.
[*]Red cross - you have not researched this trait.
[*]Blue hourglass - you are currently researching this trait.
[/LIST]

There are also a series of icons across the bottom of the addon, showing which styles/motifs each character knows.

-- You can hover over the icon of an item type if you're not sure what it is (daggers & swords look kinda similar).

You can find the answer to: "Which item/traits am I still missing across all characters?"
Do this by scrolling to the Virtual Character "#ALL". The missing traits will show an [SIZE="3"][COLOR="RED"]X[/COLOR][/SIZE]. You may need to trade for these.

At some time, you will need to update your master crafters with traits that are known from your crafting mules.
Log in to the mule and select your master crafter destination.
Click on "Set relative to:" and the grid will now show items/traits that your logged in character can craft that the selected character can research. If the tick is dull red, the selected character is currently researching another item of that type and can't immediately research another, even if a research slot is available.


A quick note that the addon [URL="http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info111-ResearchAssistant.html"]Research Assistant[/URL] by [URL="http://www.esoui.com/downloads/author-460.html"]ingeniousclown[/URL] provides some great functionality that works alongside this addon, showing you which items in your inventory can be used for research.

There had been so many times that I was in the middle of something and someone in my guild would ask in guild chat, "Can anyone make me an infused robe?" and the only way I could check was either to visit a Clothing workbench or to keep a spreadsheet/page of notes to remember.

So, several hours later, this addon was born --StormKnight
