This addon adds an additional information to the armor/weapon item's tooltip. The information includes armor/weapon style and knowledge about a trait. Starting with version 1.8 the addon works for all tooltips (including trading house, loot window, banks, vendors, popup tooltips). Thanks to merlight the informations can be seen in different colours (optional). Since version 2.1 you can see if given trait can be researched by your other characters on same account (you must login with those character first se the addon can acquire all necessary data).

A note on color coding
If you enable colorized trait knowledge, orange indicates the item is safe to destroy, while red indicates it's the only item with that trait you have. Thus items with traits you're currently researching will always show "Researching...", while items with unknown traits will show either "Researchable" or "Researchable", depending on the number of similar items you possess. When looking at a researchable item, the addon scans your current equipment, backpack and bank for items of the same type and trait. If it finds 2 or more, the "Researchable" text will be orange, otherwise it will be red.

Known issues:
1. When you're looking at an item in a store, it might show "Researchable" in red even though you have an item with that trait already.
2. There are some items with unknown style (like "Unused 17"). There is no style name for them.

Donations
If you like my work you can make me happy by sending some in-game gold/items to @theharven on EU server (but please, no lockpicks ;) ), eventually you can help me pay my monthly subscription by donating some money.

[Edit 09.31.2015]
Since monthly subscription is no longer required to play the game I decided to transfer all future dontations to charity. There is a polish site where you can chose a person you would like to support (mostly children) https://www.siepomaga.pl/. I will be anonymously transfering your donations there, to a person of my choosing and then I will post a link in The Great Donor Hall so you will know who gets your money :) I would love to help this people so I hope this doesn't discourages you from donating.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Harven's Trait and Style by Harven. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 26 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info436-HarvensTraitandStyle.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Media

Requirements

Game versions
  • 10.3.5
  • 10.2.0
API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 10.3.5, 10.2.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.

This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
