The icons in the Class Trait section are similar to the Virtue section. An example of a single classes set of Traits is shown below (click on each image for a larger version). Once you click on the ‘Class’ tab in the dialog, there is a further tab at the bottom of the dialog which selects which of the Trait sets you are viewing. Each Class Trait belongs to one of three different sets, the process is covered in more detail in the next section, but it results in there being three screens to look at when viewing your Class Traits.Īt the opening screen of the Trait dialog, you can see your class Traits and on the right side all the bonuses you have earned (more on bonuses later), this is shown in the following screenshot. You’ll see the same dialog, and you simply select the Class Traits you have available from the left, as shown in the screenshot below.Ĭlass Traits are viewed using the regular Trait dialog, but there is an added element of complexity since the release of the Mines of Moria – Class Trait sets. Equipping Class TraitsĬlass Traits are equipped in the same way all Traits are, by visiting a Bard. It also means you could still be working on them well beyond level 50. It is generally true that combat skills must be used on enemies which return experience points in order to qualify as having successfully used them to progress the Deed, and likewise, if you use a skill and miss, it may not count (usually skill dependant).Īs you can imagine, all this adds up to mean that progressing Class Trait based Deeds can be very time consuming and something you need to work at, rather than just happening by default. For some skills you use all the time this won’t be an issue, but for other skills you’ll have to remind yourself to do something about using them, and as you can see above, you can add the Deed progress to your quest tracker sidebar as a reminder. The number of times you must use the skill to complete the Deed also varies and can be in the low 10’s to 2000 or more. Non-combat skills tend to have a smaller use per day limit (5, 10 or 15 for example), while combat related skills that refresh quickly tend to be much higher (in the hundreds). The number of times a skill can be used each day in order to progress a Class Trait Deed varies, and is usually based on the skill cool-down and whether it needs to be used in combat or not. The following image shows the Deed window open at the list of Class Traits, the progress of one of those Traits and details about how many uses are still required to complete the Deed. However, it doesn’t always work out that neatly because some underused skills are much improved by their Deeds so while you would not normally use them, you are eager to do so to gain the improved version. The intent I believe is to emulate improving your character in-line with those skills you use most often. For example, you may use Quick Thrust 50 times in a fight but use Shield Bash once per day, and as a result, you’re going to earn Deeds at different rates. Also, not all the Deeds are equally difficult and many are affected by play style.

Not all skills trigger Deeds at the same time, and since skills are earned at varying levels, you’ll earn the Class Traits at different rates as well. That Deed will require you to use the same skill a certain number of times, at the end of that process you will earn the particular Class Trait as a reward. From level 15 upwards, using various class skills will trigger a new Deed. Gaining Class TraitsĮarning Class Traits is the same for every class, and every Trait. Instead it will focus on the general system, the Class Trait sets introduced in the Moria expansion and the bonuses they bring, and provide resources where you can find out more about what Traits your favourite character gets. Since there are so many of them, this article is not going to cover them all in any specific detail. They change skills, improve effects, remove or replace abilities and generally have a profound impact on what your character can achieve. More than any other Trait, Class Traits will affect how your character performs in nearly all combat situations. As the name suggests, they are all unique on a per class basis, and there are many of them to choose from. Of all the Traits in the Lord of the Rings Online system, Class Traits are the most numerous. You can check out the previous articles here – 1, 2, 3, 4 or on the articles page.
