Research is the process of using materials to create interesting and unique weapons and items. The Oracle Room must be built before any of the labs can be built and research can begin. Each lab room represents a separate area of research for different types of weapons and items. All projects will take 3 days to research, while no project can be rushed for platinum. Once research is complete, Tenno will be able to purchase the Blueprints from the Respective Lab.

Research costs will vary, depending on the clan tier. Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain, and Moon clans must contribute amounts scaled to their membership caps. For example, since Moon clans have x100 the capacity of Ghost clans, they will be required to contribute x100 the resources (Note: This is not always the case as some resources are required less than the total amount with the multiplier). Resources below are the lowest denomination, as seen in Ghost clans
