Research takes time but use Caliber to expedite

To research (or craft) Descendants you will require certain materials, some of which Anais can craft for you to save you time. The only currency Anais deals in for Research Requests is Gold.

Once you've made your Research Request a countdown will begin as Anais researches the specific item for you. The timer for the research is related to IRL time and not in-game time. So if it says 16:00:00, that means you will need to wait 16 hours until it will be completed.

Don't wait to wait? Well I don't blame you, but it will cost you. You can spend Caliber to instantly complete a Research Request with Anais, but given its a rare resource don't do it too often.
