-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. 
  
-=== Example Research DCs ===+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:
  
-  * Simple - 10 (Simple Weapons, Simple Tools) +  * 1 Hour per Hour of Research, when meeting the DC 
-  * Moderate - 15 (Martial Weapons, Armor, Simple Alchemy, Toolkits) +  * 2 Hours per Hour, when beating by 5 (½) 
-  * Complex - 20 (Firearms, Plate armor, Alchemic Weapons, Wondrous Items) +  * 4 Hours per Hour, when beating by 15 (¼) 
-  * Sophisticated - 25 (Magical Rings) +  * 8 Hours per Hour, when beating by 30 (⅛)
-  * Advanced - 30 (Some Esoteric Items, Unique and complex machines)+
  
-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:+=== 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.
  
-  * 2TU takes 4 Hours, when meeting DC 
-  * 2TU take 2 Hours, when beating by 5 (½) 
-  * 2TU take 1 Hour, when beating by 15 (¼) 
-  * 2TU takes 30 minutes, when beating by 30 (⅛)
