Traits
As you progress through the game, you will earn Traits. Traits are gained by completing Deeds, Quests and (occasionally) simply by leveling. Each Trait falls into one of four categories: Virtue, Class, Racial and Legendary.

The benefits of using traits range from small bonuses to your Skills and attributes to unlocking specialized abilities available only to your class. Many of the bonuses derived from Traits stack allowing you even greater benefits to your abilities. Traits can give you a huge advantage and your valuation of these traits will change as you progress through your career. Things like resistances and seemingly "weak" gains can mean the difference between success and failure in many encounters. As such, you will wish to collect as many of them as you are able to.

Equipping Traits
Although your character can earn dozens of different traits (see Trait Types below), you may only equip a limited number of traits at one time. Upon starting the game, you will not have any trait "slots" available to you. As your character gains levels, those slots will automatically open up one at a time, per the levels in the table below.

Once you have earned some traits you need to visit a bard to equip them. Bards can only be found in major cities (see bards for a list of names and locations). Speaking to the bard allows you to drag and drop your available traits into the available slots. Once you are satisfied with your configuration, you must confirm this configuration with the bard and pay a fee to finalize your changes. The fees vary depending on the level and desirability of the traits that you have changed or added.

There is no limit to the number of times you may change your equipped traits. Levels at which new Trait Slots become available:

Traits Trait_12


Trait Status
Looking at your Traits panel (default key is 'j'), you can navigate through all Trait Types (Class Types are even broken down further in 3 sets, look at bottom for these additional tabs). Here are examples of the panels for a newly created character; all slots are locked in the Equipped Traits panel and all traits are not earned.

Equipped Traits
Traits Traits-Equipped

Virtues
Traits Traits-Virtues

Race
Traits Traits-Race

Class
Traits Traits-Class

Legendary
Traits Traits-Legendary

Notice that any icon can be hovered to see its description. As you start new deeds towards a trait (Earning), or once the deed is completed (Earned) or equipped, you'll see the panels changing :

Traits Trait-Not_earned-icon
Not earned (default)

Traits Trait-Earning-icon
Earning

Traits Trait-Earned-icon
Earned, not equipped

Traits Trait-Equipped-icon
Equipped


Trait Types
Every character has four types of traits that can be earned: Virtues, Racial Traits, Class Traits, and Class-based Legendary Traits.

Virtues
Virtues give enhancements to all races and classes that improve the character's combat abilities (e.g., increase to power regeneration, or increase chance to evade damage). Most Virtues are acquired and improved on by completing Deeds, and all cost 1Traits Silver_coin-icon 25Traits Copper_coin-icon to slot at a Bard, no matter what their rank.

Upon completing the introductory instance, your character will automatically acquire Deeds as her or she accomplishes different goals in the game. Most deeds are tiered; the reward for the first tier of a deed is generally a title; after that, each deed tier will award an increase to a particular Virtue. Virtues, once acquired, can be improved by completing additional deeds.
  • For a full list of effects given by every tier of every virtue, as well as the deeds that advance each virtue, visit the Virtues page.
  • For a full list of virtues by region, visit the Virtues page.
  • To learn which virtues will affect a particular stat or characteristic, check the Virtue effects table.

List of Virtues:

CharityCompassionConfidenceDetermination
DisciplineEmpathyFidelityFortitude
HonestyHonourIdealismInnocence
JusticeLoyaltyMercyPatience
ToleranceValourWisdomZeal

Racial Traits
Racial Traits are unique to each race. Most require you to defeat a specified number of certain mob type. The first slot opens up at level 13, which is also when you can begin working toward trait. Most racial traits will provide your character with a special skill or fast travel ability (e.g., Return to Rivendell). Racial Traits cost 22Traits Silver_coin-icon 50Traits Copper_coin-icon to slot at a Bard.

See:

Class Traits
Class Traits are unique to each class. You can begin working toward Class Traits as soon as you leave the Introduction Area and begin using your skills. Most Class Traits require that you use a certain skill a specified number of times, then the trait becomes available for slotting; the first slot opens up at level 15. A few traits require a Quest to obtain. Class Traits cost 11Traits Silver_coin-icon 25Traits Copper_coin-icon to slot at a Bard.

See:

Legendary Traits
Legendary Traits are based on the character's class and cost 101Traits Silver_coin-icon 25Traits Copper_coin-icon to slot at a Bard. See the Class Trait pages for the a listing of Legendary Traits as well.
