— In-game description
Research Notes are a currency and crafting material earned by salvaging crafted items with a Research Kit, or by toggling the option to automatically research crafted items in the crafting interface. They are automatically stored in the wallet upon acquisition.
Acquisition[edit]
Salvaged from[edit]
Use a Research Kit to salvage crafted items for research notes:
- Utility items (only above Novice level recipes)
- Crafted food (only above Novice level recipes) 1 2 3
- Crafted armor
- Crafted weapons
- Crafted back items 4
- Crafted tonics
- Crafted potions (only above Novice level recipes)
- 1 Novice level recipes (Rating of 50 or below) do not give research notes. The one exception to this is Loaf of Walnut Sticky Bread which is treated as novice level, but has a required chef rating of 60.[verification requested]
- 2 Several other recipes (that are component recipes) cannot be salvaged, such as Omnomberry Compote, Raspberry Peach Compote, Bowl of Blackberry Pie Filling, Bowl of Cherry Pie Filling and potentially more, testing occurring on Research Note/Salvage research.[verification requested]
- 3 Several other recipes that are NOT component recipes cannot be salvaged, such as the Adept recipe Loaf of Tarragon Bread that has a required chef rating of 60.
- 4 Salvaging ascended back items (Light of Dwayna, Shadow of Grenth, Chaos of Lyssa or Bough of Melandru) results in 75 research notes each.
Use a Research Kit on a stat changed non-salvageable named Ascended Weapon and Armor:
- If an Ascended Weapon/Armor (from named boxes, e.g. Sabetha's armor, Mist-Touched defender armor) is un-salvageable since its not crafted, you can stat change them in the Mystic Forge to normal ascended gear, then salvage them using a Research Kit for research notes.
Extract any runes, sigils, and infusions that you need first. As they will be lost.
