  • Research notes have become an even more important in Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure, than they were for some people in End of Dragons.
    While in End of Dragons these were mainly sought after by players for Jade Bot Cores and Generation 3 Legendary Weapons, right now you'll need them to optimize farming Rifts. These are one of the main components to craft Common, Uncommon, and Rare Kryptis Motivations.
    When it comes to obtaining Research Notes you'll often have to choose between acquiring them fast, at an higher cost, or cheap, but at a slower pace.
    In this guide I'll explain the various methods of obtaining Research Notes and how a possible balance could be struck between price and convenience.
    There's a little bonus segment at the end for owners of the Endless Upgrade Extractor, because they can have an advantage when it comes to overall cost.

    You can also get Research notes from potions, which I've found is useful if you're not needing to hoard the dust for a Legendary. Some of those slayer potions take things like sage or lettuce.
    Glad to see the "Elon" red lentils getting some research love. That you can buy a bunch of lemons, water, and oil and farm the lentil nodes in Sandswept makes them rather cheap to get research notes from em.

    Hi you should use chapters by putting the timestamps for each in the description, im sure youve seen them before. not only does it help viewers get to where they want to be faster, but it also improves your search engine optimisation. thank you in advance :)

      There's often a specific way to obtain them, but not always that well explained.
      I got extremely lucky and obtained an Endless Extractor from a BLC, so I've been using that with Mithril earrings to get them at around 40c each. I think without the extractor that would be about double though.

    i crafted a ton of them when you could do it with food and i still have 20k left, they made this so much harder now

      I did the same, before the Salvage Stack option became available.
      It was quite painful, but so easy to build a good surplus back then.

    Research Notes are a stupid currency, and I sincerely hope they give us a more accessible method to acquire these in a future update.

      They’re super annoying that you need for legendary and other high desire items. But they’re important for the economy as they allow you to create value now from ANY excess mats you have (not just T5 and 6), which helps chew up the excess mats in people’s banks

    I've never had a problem with research notes.
    I currently see the problem in the amount of my Spirit Shards and Obsidian Shards, because from what I see Lyhr sells unlimited Mystic Clovers. :O

    • @phandrel
      @phandrel  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I might know the issue in that case. Did you perhaps buy one of the Green ones? There are multiple versions of items like those, the green ones for example can only salvaged for normal materials, not research notes.
      You can double check this yourself when hovering over the item. At the bottom of the tool tip it'll either say "Salvage: Standard" or "Salvage: Standard, Research". When salvaging for research notes you only want items with the latter in the tool tip.
      It's a bit convoluted, sadly. I hope one day we get some QoL to clearly indicate those that can be salvaged for research notes in a more obvious way. I've messed up like this a lot as well.
