Jericho Library (Guide)
| This guide is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.
What needs work: Needs information on Fate-locked Research projects |
Once you've built a 
Library in 
Jericho Locks, you unlock a new carousel, which can be expanded by buying a FATE-locked story.
Research projects
There are 4 Research projects currently available, one of which isn't FATE-locked.
- History of the Hinterlands:
- Reward:
False Hagiotoponym - 62.5 
- Reward:
Each study consists of 3 stages, each requiring 200 research, with the following ways to research:
- All stages: Common for the 3 stages are several basic options, each giving 25 progress. In addition, you will have access to one of the following, depending on your stage:
- Stage 1 will either have an option with languages or with cartography up to around 4 times, which in turn unlock an option with liminality.
- Stage 2 allows advanced options in addition to the basic options
- Stage 3 allows the most advanced options

Strategy
With an optimal EPA of around 3, this will never be an effective source of money, but it may be a useful source of the one item it provides.
Optimal play involves focusing on the more advanced options that you can do reliably, and using easy options when you need 25 research or less. If you only need 7 or less research for the next stage, use one of the options that provide additional items.
Stage 1 and 2 both take at least 6 actions, while stage 3 can be done in 5 actions. In addition, 1 action is required to start, one to gain your first lead, and 3 to finish stages for a minimum of 22 actions.
