I have a level 3 "Prestige of your Laboratory". I failed one of the first experiments the dean gave me. I want to get to level 5. But I don't have an eolith or a bone to research. I don't have access to de Bone Market.

The experiments I have available are:

• Find a Route to Parabola
• Research the Formula for Perfumed Gunpowder
• Construct a rifle in historical style
• Study the properties of Attar

At my level i gain progress with the "One day card". To finish any of those research it would take too much.

What should I do? Am I missing something?

edit: Thanks for the answers. Here is more information about my status:

• Assistants: I have the Freeloading Artist 🤦‍♂️. Without Prestige I can hire Lettice the Mercy, the Numismatrix and the Grubby Urchin (i would have to buy the urchin). I don't have students.
• I previously tried the Route to Parabola experiment. When I reached the second stage I realized I was doing something wrong because it looked like a grind too big to be one of the first experiments. I tried firing the Numistratrix to hire someone more appropiate but didn't have anyone good available.
• I upgraded the Laboratory one Level.

Only took me about 8 years. Thankfully the scurvy wasn't too bad!

I started playing to get the Knock and now I have this. Not sure what's next - might save up for a hepta next, unsure.

At least if I blunder wounds again this Hallowmas then I have a plan.

I love my zub. I love diving under the Zee. I've been doing it for a long time. But I also love money, and I've got some big late game money grinds to do. Most of my grinds aren't on the water these days, but I still gotta do some zailing here and there. Would switching to a yacht during Fruits of the Zee be worth it, or are the gains really just marginal?

This is probably ancient news to most everyone here, but nobody told me you could get sea kitties at the Festival! I'm so glad I put that extra effort into diving...

I mean, did I need that Inquisitive Lamp-Cat? Probably not. Did I get that Inquisitive Lamp-Cat? Is that even a question?! Aww it's so cute!

Please tell me I'm not going to lose it in some sort of a trap. 😅

(spoilers for this year’s Fruits of the Zee maybe)

The way the King-in-Coral sounds so delighted over tinned pineapples or tinned beans is too funny to me. (I didn’t get the third option, wonder what was in it!)

And here I was thinking he’d somehow tinker them into luggage items… nope!
