What needs work: New Research Leads

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 3 repeatable Research projects currently freely available, and additionally there are 3 one-time Research projects, which are all FATE-locked.

• History of the Hinterlands:
  • Reward: False Hagiotoponym - 62.5
• History of Mutability:
  • Reward: Oneiromantic Revelation - 62.5
• Mystery of the Elder Continent:
  • Reward: Primaeval Hint - 62.5

• The remaining 3 projects are one-time projects unlocked with The Poisoner's Library
  • Main Reward: The Swan Bride's Mask

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. Leads can be used 3 times.
• Stage 2 allows advanced options in addition to the basic options Leads can be used 4 times.
• Stage 3 allows the most advanced options Leads can be used 4 times.

Beginning

To begin with, you have the choice of two options

• Perform field research
• Speculate wildly about historical comparatives

Unless your Mithridacy is very high and your other attributes are low, it is recommended to go with field research, as it unlocks the best options later.

Regardless of a choice, you will get a Lead quality. These leads unlock advanced options on their various studies that improve research speed. Upon researching a lead, you may receive a new one, as well as consuming some of your current lead, so be sure to watch for the quality changes to know where next to look.

Table of easy options

These are actions available for every stage of your research. They are easy challenges and typically give 25 research.

Table of Stage 1 options

You start with either Cartography or Languages, either of which unlocks Liminality. You can use your available leads 3 times each.

Table of Stage 2 options

Cartography / Languages unlock Liminality, which unlocks Historiography You can use your available leads 4 times each.

Table of Stage 3 options

Either option unlocks all others, except Cartography / Languages You can use your available leads 4 times each.

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.
