Talk:Research

Thoughts on a Recommendations section on this page?
This is as of 0.55.4.

After doing a bunch of research on the research options for the second slate, I am debating on adding a recommendation section to the second slate for quick reference. Fulminato (via their optimized route document) and I are in agreement on the first three iterations:

1. Orc Diversification

2. Unpeople Transformation

3. Purity Research

After that Fulminato recommends:

4. Magical Constructs

5. Tower Delving

6. Demonic Research

Note: New research is added for iteration 7 so Base Defenses will likely be skipped entirely.

I would personally flip 5 and 6 to get Aka's weapon earlier since you only need +1 Anak's Gauntlet to get the best result in that section (if you also talk Esthera into not allowing slaves which is currently their recommendation in their document). Researching Tower Delving guarantees you can get the best result just by performing well enough during the gauntlet and removes the restriction on having to make a specific decision which may be ideal in the future and is also easier to explain. So with that said I am in agreement with Fulminato's recommended research order. The only thing this order specifically forces is during the Erosian War you cannot get the best results during the Ghenalon Assist sections. I think this is fine. Magical Constructs gives +2 Sabitha RP which is hard to come by at this point in time and while you lose some Erosian War stats and a chance at Fheliel RP by not getting the best results in the Ghenalon section, Fheliel is still easy to max by the time you have the opportunity to add her to the harem.

So, thoughts on adding a recommendations section?
