Traits are special abilities granted at certain levels of a Specialization. Most Specialization levels grant increases in Stats, but every 4 levels gives a different ability with some relation to the Specialization.

The Traits do not give any Stat increases, even the ones which grant an ability which usually would come from Stat increases (like extra Carry).

At level 32 (the max) each Specialization has a Capstone Trait which, in theory, gives an better ability. Examples of the Capstone Trait include free Chariot Travel and valuable resources being generated offline.

Maximum number of loops have been performed

  • Wood Timer Decrease: Decreases timer on gathering wood

From my observations, Onceler's Envy appears to add appoximately 12.5% (or one-eighth) to each wood pull. This is usually rounded down; thus, at one tier of Envy, pulling from a single 4-wood tree will still result in only 4 wood. - Xaxyx
To execute Mighty Chop, you need to uncheck "Fast gather wood from trees" in the One-Click and Related settings and the option will appear in the tree options menu. - Darkfyre

  • Hathor's Miracle: Break all minestones on a long timer

Requirement

Traits Review

Geb's Touch

Increases ore collection

Note: Estimated to be about 15% per level

Careful Extraction

Higher chance of larger gems

Improved Marble Gathering

When pulling marble, gain +1 marble (multiple miners do not stack)

Applies whenever the last pull is made by someone with this trait. This effectively doubles the output of a quarry if they always pull last.

Hathor's Miracle

Break all minestones on a long timer

Has a 30 minute to 2 hour cooldown timer, displayed in the mine window.

The amount of ore (or silver) yielded is based on the type of ore. No gems are yielded.

Note: Can be used on a mine that isn't being worked (no stones), though it seems like it may give better results by working the mine and making some matches before using it.

Data

  • Aluminum: One pull was 17000.
  • Antimony: One pull was 36000.
  • Cobalt: Average 7700 over 2 uses. Min 6800. Max 8600.
  • Copper: Averaged 2900 over 15 uses. Min: 900. Max: 5800.
  • Gold: One pull was 58000.
  • Iron: Averaged 4700 over 15 uses. Min: 2000. Max: 7500.
  • Lead: One pull was 34000.
  • Magnesium: One pull was 59000.
  • Platinum: One pull was 41000.
  • Silver: Average 320 over 7 uses. Min: 80. Max: 640.
    • Always a multiple of 80. This is interesting because silver, being pure metal, is always very low yield. Often 3 stone matches are worth 1-8 or so ore. So it seems like Hathors may be 80 times the yield of a typical 3 stone pull.
  • Tin: One pull was 2900.
  • Zinc: One pull was 28000.
  • Sand: One pull was 20000. For the lolz.
