Can anyone tell me how to unlock land region investigations? The Professor says something about discovering ruins near Candia before I can do it.
Thanks,
Jibi

Land Survey Qualification Checklist (as determined via OGP site data and fellow adventurers' findings):
Graduate Intermediate School in Adventure, Trade, or Battle; visit Mercator in Amsterdam and begin World Atlas quest (Charting of North Sea required; cannot be done until Intermediate Course graduation... obviously)
Complete
Legend of the Labyrinthos
Unlock East Asia Port Permits; obtain first four Northeast Passage Arctic Port Permits via Mercator (EA Permits and charted North Sea required... obviously)
These steps can be done in any order you please, unless otherwise noted. Once all the aforementioned tasks are met, visit the Professor in Oxford and accept the Land Surveying quest from him; charting of West Candia AND Inner Crete are mandatory. Afterward, return to Oxford, and you can now chart land zones in any order you like. This also opens up access to the Atlantis chain, beginning with the quest, "Land of the Legendary King"...
Since the Professor's already telling you to discover ruins near Candia, the Knossos Palace discovery quest is probably all you need at this point. Recognition, Collection, Surveying and to a certain degree, Procurement skills (or items that mimic them) WILL be required for land charting. It goes a lot faster if you can work with friends, or at least an alt. I find having the skills (especially Collection) works better in the long run than continually having to restock items, but YMMV.

How do I Acquire Rescue Tech 1, I have 250 Thesis Submissions, Graduated College Thx
Guilder05-09-2017
Apparently you need to have First Aid, Surgery, or Rescue skill at R2; the next time you speak to the Professor at Oxford once those conditions are met, the thesis should be unlocked. If that doesn't work, let us know. Cheers.

Efficient Ship construction Oxford: Reduces Ship building construction time to half
Requirements for this Oxford to appear: Need second Oxford building unlocked (which requires you to complete and submit any 12 thesis reports ) and you must have at least 1 of the following skills at Rank 7 or more for this thesis to appear.
ShipBuilding
Repair
Firefighting
Requirements to complete Thesis: Simply build ships its easy
Juicebox11-26-2017
You can equip 5 Oxford skills at once you unlock more by acquiring credits. To unlock the additional slots you must have the required credits saved up and unused on your character this the only way to unlock the slots. The required amounts are below.
1 skill unlocked at start
2 skills at 1000 credits
3 skills at 5000 credits
4 skills at 20000 credits
5 skills at 50000 credits
NikoMed12-02-2017
I've got my 4th slot skill after returning a 300 credits research.
At this moment, there were 14352 credits on me and I've consumed 5850 credits already.
5850 + 14352 = 20202 so I think that total credits earned matter for skill slot unlock.
Argy12-09-2017
The Ship Repair Tech 2 thesis that gives the Efficient Ship Construction college skill (50% build time reduction) needs 25 Thesis submissions and r7 in SB, Repair, Fire Fighting. Needs 1000 research pts to complete with each repair providing 5pts and each ship build providing 100 pts.
Nomad12-10-2017
i have to have 50000 credits on me (not used) in order to get the 5th skill slot open?!?! i thought its accumulative
Daemon12-10-2017
It's cumulative, tested it just in case with my alt. Got 5th slot unlocked at like 20k on me but with 50k accumulated.
Juicebox comment is incorrect, you do not have to have those unused. Pretty sure you need to advance to almost the end / graduate before you can unlock 5th slot tho.

Ken12-16-2023
what does Submissions 6 or even Submissions any number mean. is that how many times you have to do he same one over and over?
Guilder12-16-2023
Submissions: the total number of ANY completed thesis you turn in. So if it says 5, pick a thesis of choice (one that is fast preferably) and complete it 5 times. After that, the research which said 5 should appear.
However, other conditions may also be required: ONE of the listed skill ranks must be met, and sometimes you must progress through story events to access additional research.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask here, UWO's World Chat (General or Beginners channels are best). You can ask here as well, but you're more likely to get a more immediate and often-times greater in-depth response in UWO.
Cheers, great online voyaging to you.
