In order to make use of the {{IL|Parabolan Research}}, make sure that you always redeem {{IL|Discordant Soul}} in groups of five. When you have 25 research, take a break and visit your lab to [[Discover the background of this bone]]. Our goal is to [[Invent a false nature for this bone]], which will usually take 3 research actions, but can possibly take 2 if you're lucky with card draws and can play an option with gives at least 38 research twice in a row. This adds 4-5 additional actions to the grind every five Discordant Souls we redeem, <s>but this can be well worth it when putting {{IL|Holy Relic of the Thigh of Saint Fiacre}} on the [[Assembling a Skeleton (Guide)/Recipes#Sainted Spider|right skeleton]]</s>. | In order to make use of the {{IL|Parabolan Research}}, make sure that you always redeem {{IL|Discordant Soul}} in groups of five.

The reason we redeem the {{IL|Discordant Soul}} in such large batches is in order to keep retraining costs at a minimum. It takes 28 actions to maximize it from zero; it is recommended that you combine this grind with other profitable grinds that happen to train {{IL|Glasswork}}, such as Pinewood Shark hunting, Peculiar Item heists (though beware the {{IL|An Intricate Lock}} card), or Clay Larcenies with Parabolan Casing. Furthermore, having low {{IL|Glasswork}} temporarily locks you out of other profitable grinds: for example, certain popular setups for Khaganian Intrigue become very risky until you've retrained your stats. |
This grind also generates large numbers of {{IL|Memory of an Anchorhold}}, which can be redeemed in [[The Anchorhold]]. All of the options for redemption require a {{IL|Memory of Discordance}}, however, and these are difficult to obtain efficiently. Those with {{IL|The Long-Dead Priests of the Red Bird}} may gain them during visits to Helicon House via [[Lead them like sacrifices to the Priests of the Red Bird]], the rest need to hunt the {{IL|Carnivorous Aurochs}} in Parabola. Getting them via [[Hurling (Guide)|Hurlyburly]] is not recommended. Unfortunately, the options for redeeming are not especially profitable, so this is not currently recommended for money-making, though they may be a decent source for the items they provide. | This grind also generates large numbers of {{IL|Memory of an Anchorhold}}, which can be redeemed in [[The Anchorhold]].
