Diary

The Diary is a tool in the War of the Worlds Mod used to gain "Research" and is a vitally important item in the core gameplay of the mod.

Obtaining Research
You can obtain research by right clicking blocks while holding the diary. In order to gain research, you must have paper in your inventory unless you're using a Research Table, in which case researching items is free.

Obtaining Research Items
Shift + right clicking with the Diary will open the Research UI, where you can "buy" items in exchange for Research Vials. These items are crucial to creating many key components of crafting recipes in the War of the Worlds Mod.

Leveling Up Diaries
Diaries can be leveled up by researching items. You can see a Diary's level on it's tooltip pop-up.

Diary Level 0: Gained when you make your Diary

Diary Level 1: Gained when you have researched 50 items/blocks

Diary Level 2: Gained when you have researched 120 items/blocks

Diary Level 3: Gained when you have researched 150 items/blocks

Prestiging Diaries
A Diary can be "prestiged" by placing it in a Scribing Table. When it has reached level 3 or higher, you will gain a new higher tier Diary and be rewarded from the "high tier rewards pool", which is also the same selection of loot used by the Martian Transmogrification Station.
