How to get traits
Traits inHogwarts Legacyare extra buffs you can apply to your gear. Each piece of gear, based on what rarity it is, will have trait slots of different levels that you can weave your traits into. Traits can be either offensive or defensive, but in various ways.
to start adding traits to your gear, you first need to unlock the Enchanted Loom. This is done by progressing the main story up until you complete the “The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and The Loom” quest, at which point the Enchanted Loom will be added to your Room of Requirement.
To get traits, though, you need to craft them using materials you collect byrescuing the various beastsin the open world, but only once you’ve found the recipe for it. Recipes can be obtained by completing Combat Challenges and raiding Bandit Camps, or found inside certain chests. Crafting each tier always requires the same materials: one Puffskein Fur for level 1, one Diricawl Feather for level 2, and one Kneazle Fur for level 3.
Traits come in different levels ranging from 1 to 3, with level 3 being the most potent version of that trait. Just remember that your gear rarity will limit the level of trait you can apply to it, with Superb only allowing level 1, Extraordinary level 2, and Legendary getting level 3.
