What Are Traits?

Traits are aspects you can add to gear that will enhance them and make them better overall. Depending on the piece of gear, you can have different amounts of Traits. Some pieces come with no Traits while others come with two or more. Once you have a Trait, you can check what is needed to apply it to a piece of gear via the Enchanted Loom. In order to gain the materials required for applying Traits you will need to rescue Magical Beasts.

How To Unlock Traits

After unlocking the Room of Requirement, you will need to continue on with the main questline. Once you finish the quest "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and The Loom," you will be able to craft the Enchanted Loom in the Room of Requirement. This will cost you 8 Moonstones. Once you craft it, you will be able to unlock Traits and apply them to the gear you want to apply them to.
