Acquired by deconstructing crafted items with research kits. Used at vendors in Cantha and to craft newer recipes.

— In-game description

Research Notes are a currency and crafting material earned by salvaging crafted items with the Research Kit. They are stored in the wallet, where they are immediately added upon obtaining.

Acquisition

Salvaged from

Use a Research Kit to salvage crafted items for research notes:

• Utility items ^{(only above Novice level recipes)}
• Crafted food ^{(only above Novice level recipes) 1 2 3}
• Crafted armor
• Crafted weapons
• Crafted tonics
• Crafted potions ^{(only above Novice level recipes)}

1 Novice level recipes (Rating of 50 or below) do not give research notes. The one exception to this is Loaf of Walnut Sticky Bread which is treated as novice level, but has a required chef rating of 60.^{[verification requested]}

2 Several other recipes (that are component recipes) cannot be salvaged, such as Omnomberry Compote, Raspberry Peach Compote, Bowl of Blackberry Pie Filling, Bowl of Cherry Pie Filling and potentially more, testing occurring on Research Note/Salvage research.^{[verification requested]}

3 Several other recipes that are NOT component recipes cannot be salvaged, such as the Adept recipe Loaf of Tarragon Bread that has a required chef rating of 60.

Use a Research Kit on a stat changed non-salvageable named Ascended Weapon and Armor:

• If an Ascended Weapon/Armor (from named boxes, e.g. Sabetha's armor, Mist-Touched defender armor) is un-salvageable since its not crafted, you can stat change them in the Mystic Forge to normal ascended gear, then salvage them using a Research Kit for research notes.

Extract any runes, sigils, and infusions that you need first. As they will be lost.
