Researcher
Researcher counts the items you study at the Study Table. It is an Anatomy inspiration, visible from the start, with a free first level at 1.
Each item can be studied only once, and every study costs Science. Decomposing paper or science kits into Science does not count, and neither do the alchemy powders you know from the start.
What counts
| Do | What | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Study | Study an item at the Study Table — each item once; 374 can be studied in all, 114 are within reach in the demo, and its Science covers about 22 |
Levels
| # | Name | Total needed | Faith | Talent exp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Researcher I | 1 | free | 1 |
| 2 | Researcher II | 5 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | Researcher III | 25 | 5 | 1 |
| 4 | Researcher IV | 50 | 25 | 1 |
| 5 | Researcher V | 150 | 50 | 1 |
| 6 | Researcher VI | 300 | 100 | 2 |
Totals are counted from the start, not per level. Buying a level costs Faith from your backpack and gives talent experience; see Talents and Inspirations.
Notes
- The demo’s Science runs out around the second level. The demo holds 31 Science in all, and even picking the cheapest studies that covers about 22 of them, short of the third level (25).
- Choose what to study with care. Studying pays tech points (10 to 150) and is the only way to learn an ingredient’s alchemy runes, so an ingredient you want to mix is worth more than a random item.
