Melittology Research¶
Melittology Research is the questline that earns you Research Points for the Melittology tree. It has 25 ranks, from the Melittology Quests pad on the mountain top.
How it works¶
- Every rank needs Rebirth 10 and the rank before it. Each rank can be done once.
- Each quest is called "Melittology Research: Rank N", with the description "Complete this study to earn X Research."
- The quests give no items. Turning a rank in shows "+X Research" and gives that many Research Points.
- Ranks 1 to 20 give 40 Research Points, enough for the whole base tree (38) with 2 left over.
- Ranks 21 to 25, the Saturation Studies, give 36 more, for the Supreme paths.
- Rank 21 also gives the Eureka! sticker, once per account: "Eureka! Your research turned up something else."
Goo amounts aren't fixed in the quest list, so they aren't shown here. Numbers use the game's abbreviations, as on the Rebirths page.
