**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
_When clicking on the individual traitstones required for unlocking TRAITS, I expected to see:_

1. The name of the traitstone: i.e. Arcane Light Traitstone
2. Where it is available: i.e. AVAILABLE in KINGDOMS: Pan’s Vale and Suncrest

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
_This happens with every troop upgrade menu since the last upgrade_

**Steps to make it happen again**  
_Find an available troop to upgrade and click on the Traits upgrade button. Then click on the individual traitstones._

Further notes: There’s currently a very difficult workaround. It requires:

1. _memorizing the look/colour of the traitstone_
2. going to the player RESOURCE WALLET on the overview map
3. scrolling to the TRAITSTONES category
4. going through the list to visual match the traitstone a player is missing
5. clicking on that traitstone to find out which Kingdom to farm it in

@Anam_Cara thank you for reporting this! You have worded this issue better and the current workaround I am taking is exactly what you mentioned. This might not affect endgame players but is a headache for those who are still farming traitstones in the early game.

You’re most welcome! 😊  
Thank you for finding the bug and mentioning it. You’re right, it’s definitely a big issue for new to mid game players!

The _other_ workaround is to go to your Collection screen, Banners, and filter it by the one (or two) colors you are looking for. Identify the banner, then go to that kingdom manually.

Still, this is an obvious regression (not a “bug”, technically) from the previous version.
