-==== Formula ==== 
-Researching a Formula for a Spell or Magic item is a Research check. Generally it takes 10 hours of research per Spell Tier being researched. Some magic items do not have an associated Spell Tier, in most cases you can you the Enchantment level as the Spell Tier. 
  
 ==== Blueprints/Formula ==== ==== Blueprints/Formula ====
-Researching a Blueprint or Formula you need to spend 10 hours per spell tier being replicated by the Technological item. In the event an item does not have a Spell tier associated you should spend 10 hours per enchantment tier of the item. Some times Tech items do not have either available in which case the TU value multiplied by 2 (TU x 2 = hours) of the object would be the best place to estimate the number of hours required to research it.+The time to Research a Blueprint or Formula is the TU value of the item multiplied by 2 in hours (TU x 2 = hours). Typically, a Research DC is 20, but always check with your GM - exotic or valuable items may require a higher DC.

 +Researching a Formula for a Spell is a Research check. Generally it takes 10 hours of research per Spell Tier being researched. You may research faster by exceeding the DC as follows: 
 + 
 +  * 1 Hour per Hour of Research, when meeting the DC 
 +  * 2 Hours per Hour, when beating by 5 (½) 
 +  * 4 Hours per Hour, when beating by 15 (¼) 
 +  * 8 Hours per Hour, when beating by 30 (⅛)

 +=== Ringcraft === 
 + 
 +Rings have some unique rules pertaining to researching how to make them. Generally, ring blueprints take a Research DC of the [[game_systems:experience|Experience]] amount required for their content + 10. Furthermore, to create a ring of any [[:paths|Path]], you must first unlock the Path itself. See below for an example of how this functions. 
 + 
 +  - Celebrimbor decides to create a Ring of [[paths:arcana_path#surecast|Surecast]].  
 +  - As he already has a [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] over 8, he may ignore paying for this requirement in its construction. 
 +  - Therefore, the base Ring of [[paths:arcana_path|Arcana]] is 15 Experience (150 TU), and Surecast is another 15 Experience (150 TU). 
 +  - He must make **two** Research checks, once to create baseline blueprints for a Ring of Arcana, and once for Surecast. 
 +  - Each check is a DC 25 (The EXP value [15] + 10). 
 +  - Without any talents accounted for, if he hits a DC 30 it takes 150 hours for each, or 300 hours of Research in total. 
 + 
 +Adding new Talents to an appropriate Ring simply requires Research for each Talent involved as described above.
