{{IL|Investigating...}} is a progress quality that can be gained and spent in a variety of endeavours, most of which are interchangeable.

The best early-game sources of Investigating are part of the [[Making Your Name (Guide)|Making Your Name]] storylines: 

* [[Intrigue: The Curate and His Sister]], {{IL|Persuasive}} ~40
* [[The Tricks of the Courier's Trade]],  {{IL|Shadowy}} ~90
* [[Featuring in the Tales of the University]], {{IL|Watchful}} ~100 (see the Guides for [[Featuring in the Tales of the University (Guide)|Featuring]] and [[Term Passing... (Guide)|Term Passing...]] for a more comprehensive walkthrough of these storylines)

In the late game, you can continue to use the early-game sources as long as you haven't concluded the storylines that lock (i.e. the Curate, and the University). Additional sources open up at [[Helicon House (Guide)|Helicon House]] in [[Ealing Gardens]] and when [[Captured by the Clay Highwayman!]] after building to [[Balmoral]], both part of the [[Railway (Guide)|Railway]] storyline.

Most uses for Investigating are related to the same storylines in which you gain it. Once you've finished these stories (i.e., you've opened all the areas in Helicon House, [[Following up Rumours of Cornelius (Guide)|followed up rumours of Cornelius]], and played through the Clay Highwayman story), there aren't many uses for Investigating. If you've kept the Curate and University stories open, you can conclude those at this point and use Tricks of the Courier's Trade to both gain and spend Investigating (mainly useful for grinding {{IL|Cryptic Clue|Appearance=Cryptic Clues}}).

== Gaining Investigating... ==

===[[Intrigue: The Curate and His Sister]]===
Can only be started with {{IL|A Name Signed with a Flourish}} exactly 3 in {{IL|Veilgarden}} once you have {{IL|Persuasive}} 33.

Once started, this storyline can be completed at any time, but '''cannot be restarted''' once the Flourish storyline is advanced past 3. Meaning that, as long as you want to use these options to grind Investigating, do not play the [[Complete your acquaintance with the Melancholy Curate. Or his Enigmatic Sister.|Complete your acquaintance]] storylet! (Doing so is not necessary to advance Flourish.) Once you have {{IL|Watchful}} around 100, the University grind above is a better source of Investigating, and this storyline can be safely completed.

Unlocked with {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 9–24 in {{IL|The University}} (see [[Featuring in the Tales of the University (Guide)|Guide]] and [[Term Passing... (Guide)#The second Carousel .28Featuring in the Tales of the University 9-24.29|Carousel]]).

In addition to being a good Investigating grind at mid-level {{IL|Watchful}}, the [[Talk to the Porters]] option gives a {{IL|Sudden Insight}} for a cost of only {{IL|Cryptic Clue|25 x}} (about half as many as you ''receive'' from each of the other options below!) Since 5 Sudden Insights can be spent on [[Every stone]] for 1–50 CP of {{IL|Watchful}}, keeping this grind open by not completing the University storyline can continue to be useful into late-game.
