The Research Desk allows for the discovery of new tier 1 crafting recipes (blueprints). See the Study and Athenaeum for tier 2 & 3 blueprints respectively.

Consuming Papers will discover a random blueprint within a category. Blueprint books are always consumed first when discovering, if the blueprint hasn't been unlocked yet.
It costs 2250 Papers to research every tier 1 technology by random discovery.

Blueprints are sold directly at Shady Merchants Camps.
Some V Blood Carriers are guaranteed to drop select blueprint types:

• Weapons: Clive the Firestarter
• Armour: Grayson the Armourer

Knowledge of blueprints is shared between all vampires in a clan. Vampires not in the clan may also steal knowledge by interacting with the Research Desk.

Random Blueprint Sources

• 2 Blueprints from Carriages in Farbane Woods.
• 4.76% chance from fishing in Farbane Woods.

• 15% chance from defeated Level 27 - 40 V Bloods (Goreswine, Grayson, Clive, Polora, Nicholaus & Beatrice)
