	This squiggly little ball of information is ~~that monster's essence~~, and ~~the more of a monster's essence you accumulate, the more information you will have of them in your Research (B) tab. A higher level of research also increases the amount of EXP~~ you ~~gain from killing them, as well as increases drop rate. The highest level of research for a monster is level 4~~.		This squiggly little ball of information is Research Essence, and you should not hesitate to pick it up whenever it drops.

			Whether it comes from Monsters or Resources, collecting Research Essence will help fill in your Research Window [B] and provide you with a number of benefits.

			Your completion progress is also tracked within the Research Window, so if you're interested in completing your compendium, go for it!

			==Monster Research==
			You gain compounding benefits after collecting 1, 5, 10, and 20 Research Essences for any give monster.

	Research ~~Level 1 ''(1 essence)'':<br>~~		The amount of Research Essence you have is tracked, and you can collect more than 20, though it won't provide any further benefits.
	Acquiring your first essence will register that monster into your Research tab. At a cursory glance, you will be able to see that monster's sprite and your current Research level for them. Mousing over the monster will tell you how many essences for that monster that you have ~~picked up. Upon clicking on the monster's square~~, ~~another window will appear called "Monster Info" in which you will see their name~~ and ~~how many of them~~ you ~~have killed. There will be a lot of ???s~~, ~~which will progressively be replaced with information after reaching higher levels of Research~~.

			[[File:Researchimage.png\|center\|700px\|thumb\|Example of having level 4 Research!\|link=]]

			'''Research Level 1''' ''(1 essence)'':<br>
			*Acquiring your first Research Essence will register that monster into your Research Window, replacing its blacked out square with an image of said monster and displaying its current Research Level. Mousing over the monster will tell you how many essences for that monster that you have picked up, and how many more Research Essences you will need for the next level.

	~~<div style="float:right; margin-left:10px;">~~		*Upon clicking on the monster's square, another window will appear called "Monster Info". At Research Level 1, Monster Info will mostly be filled with "???" but you will at least be shown the monster's name, how many of that monster you have killed, and even how many [[Grinding#The Shiny\|Shinies]] you have killed!
	~~[[File:SoulplingResearchMore.png\|250px\|thumb\|Level 4 research for [[Soulpling]].]]~~
	~~</div>~~
	~~Research level 2 ''(5 essence)'':<br>~~
	~~Mousing over~~ the monster's square will ~~now tell you how much bonus EXP and bonus Drop Rate you have when killing them~~. ~~+ EXP~~, ~~+ Drop Rate.~~ Monster Info will ~~now include~~ the monster's ~~stats~~ and ~~element typing. You can mouse over the colored circle to be given the element in text.~~

			*The ???s will progressively be replaced with actual information after reaching the required Research Level.


	~~Research level 3 ''(10 essence)'':<br>~~
	~~Monster Info will tell you what map(s) the monster can be found in. + EXP, + Drop Rate.~~

			'''Research level 2''' ''(5 essence)'':<br>
			*After reaching Level 2, that monster's healthbar will now show for you whenever that monster takes damage.
			*The Monster Info window will now include the monster's stats and element typing. You can mouse over the colored circle to be given the element in text.


	Research level 4 ''(20 essence)'':<br>
	~~And finally, at Research level 4,~~ you will ~~be given the~~ monster's drop table. Mousing over ~~an item~~ will ~~give~~ you ~~the~~ item's drop rate ~~for~~ that ~~monster~~. ~~+ EXP~~, ~~+ Drop Rate~~.		'''Research level 3''' ''(10 essence)'':<br>
	~~<br><br>~~		*Level 3 will apply a +5% bonus to Player EXP you gain from killing the monster.
			*The Monster Info window will now provide you with that monster's drop table. Mousing over one of the items shown will tell you that item's drop rate.



			'''Research level 4''' ''(20 essence)'':<br>
			*And finally, at Research level 4, you have a +10% drop chance while hunting the monster.

			==Resource Research==
			Resources do not have a Research Level associated with them, and we have yet to receive any confirmation on whether that will change or not.

			As of now, collecting even just one Research Essence will fill in that Resources square and track both the amount you have gathered, and how many Research Essences you have collected.
