 +====== More Information about Research Kits ======
  
 +Item Research is a perk that is found under Lore → World Lore in the skills menu. You need a 30% skill in World Lore to buy it. As the perk description details, you need the following items to conduct research:
 +
 +Acacia Gum (You need about 30% horticulture and the Harvesting I perk to get this from Acacia Trees)
 +
 +A Research Book (crafted by artisans – it can fail even at 100+ skill)
 +
 +Beeswax (found in bee hives – about 30% horticulture should get you all the plant materials you need for research if you take the Harvesting I perk to get secondary resources)
 +
 +Drafting Ink (made by artisans, but you need horticulture to gather blue flowers, which you then turn into paste with a plant mortar and then into drafting ink with a paint kettle)
 +
 +Vellum (artisans, from logs with a pulp vat)
 +
 +In addition to the above, heretics may need small soul pieces (read: Moriums), which are made from their own Animus or found as loot, to perform magical research. Researching ordinary, non-magical items should not take Moriums.
 +
 +You can open a research book as if it were a container. When you click the book once, you open a context menu that gives you the option to Start Researching and Stop Researching. You must place the required components (usually: acacia gum, beeswax, drafting ink, vellum, etc. ) inside the book before you may begin. The result is a recipe copy, the quality of which depends on your INT and World Lore skill.
 +
 +Research progresses in real time while you are online, and you may have only one active project at a time. The speed at which you conduct research depends on your skill, which is linked to the item you are researching. Notice that you need to know a power word before you can research or craft anything based on it – including the word itself! The same is not true for other kinds of research.
