Research

Файл:Research-panel.png**In-game description:**
*Enter the Research Facilities to improve your grinding potential. There you will be able to advance your research progress, unlock and buy special upgrades which will boost all your abilities hugely. Your research points in each branch are limited by the amount of Reincarnations you have.*

The **Research** progress system was implemented in the Secrets expansion series bringing "secret" powers to enhance each mythical faction. Overtaking the Mercenaries, it is accessible from R16 for Vanilla, R23 for Neutral, and R29 Prestige Factions, and R46 for the Dragons.

==The Facilities & Related Factions==

Research consists of several specialized facilities, each containing upgrades, which, once unlocked, will require strategic selecting. Each Facility is related to several Factions: Vanilla factions are related to one facility, Neutral to two, and Prestige to three. Each is unlocked by its related Vanilla Faction (see unlock requirements)

## Research Points & Slots

Research Points (**RPs**): Facilities are level-up with RPs, which in turn increases the production of the related faction. Each R, you will receive a defined, and increasing, amount of RPs to level-up the increasing costs of the facilities.

* RPs available per R Шаблон:OtherFormula
* Facility RP Production: *Шаблон:OtherFormula*
* Facility RP Cost: *Шаблон:NakedFormula*
* PA Facility RP Cost: Шаблон:NakedFormula

Research Slots (**RSs**): At specific RPs, the facilities will gain new upgrades, and the amount of upgrades you can use is defined by the amount of RSs you have. At certain reincarnation levels, additional RS upgrades can be unlocked. See following table for details.

Upon abdication, your gained RPs will persist, and your RSs will get reset, enabling the player to make different research builds each run.

## Research Unlock Requirements

All the upgrades below, except the Unique building upgrades, only need to be bought once and do not count the bought-upgrade stats.

## Research Upgrades by Facility

* Research Sortable Table : Similar as the above tables, all together and sortable by "Facility", "RP#", "Faction", "What it does" and "What it is based on".

## Notes & Tips

* 1-135RP unlock order and tips by why\_amihere
* W320 build
* Flame of Bondelnar: There are 2 builds by artcrow for this
* 590RPs: 200 dwarf or drow Royal Exchanges. A full mana+assistant build seems to be fastest. Druidline outweights Elfline. source
* S300 can be done faster just by repeatedly casting Brainwave and abdicating, without waiting for the end of the spell.
* A1325, 5,500 excavations Can be done at the end of R53 with e46+ gems. source
