Improve Your Equipment

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)
Lab EquipmentDescription
0When the Dean granted you a Laboratory, what he meant was "four walls, a bare tabletop, and a celebratory print from Benthic's last anniversary." That will need to change if you hope to accomplish anything here.
1A small collection of bottles and glassware covers half a table-top. Rags. A small burner. It's the merest beginning.
2Chemicals on one table. Components for simple optical experiments on another. Your Laboratory is beginning to look a little less bleak, but there is a great deal further to go.
3A plausible clutter covers the tabletops. There are separate workstations now, materials for several different activities. You don't possess much equipment that couldn't be found in any room for undergraduate instruction, however.
4Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Chemical and optical workstations occupy separate benches.
5Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Separate workstations provide for chemical, optical, and explosive destruction.
6Shelving covers one wall and provides all the essential tomes for a scholar in your fields. Separate workstations provide for chemical, optical, and explosive destruction, as well as the detection of any localised improbability.
7The shelves host a library that would put many colleges to shame. Separate workstations provide for chemical, optical, and explosive destruction, as well as the detection of any localised improbability.
