*WORK IN PROGRESS* The following is a checklist for the generation of blue techpoints, otherwise known as blue points, the rarest of three different techpoints that represent one's accomplishments towards more advanced technology. This list is separated into early-game, mid-game, and late-game, with sub categories of study, crafting, and miscellaneous.
The primary purpose of studying an item is to prepare it for alchemy if applicable, though it also comes with the benefit of a one-time techpoint bonus. Meanwhile, most items in the world can be crafted, sometimes in great numbers if useful enough, usually yielding some amount of techpoints. Lastly, there are several miscellaneous sources one might come across.
Early Game
The following consists of blue point sources a player is able to utilize relatively quickly from the start. No technology that needs blue points to be unlocked is required, and the player need-not advance very far through any particular quest-line.

Mid-Game
By this stage of the game, the player has likely explored most of the gaming world, started several quests, and is on their way to mastering several - but not all - aspects of the game. For example, while marble production may still be inaccessible, the player's stone-work could be exceptional.

Late Game
One potential setback during the later stages of the game would be a shortage of blue techpoints, requiring an investment towards unlocking the tech that will provide further sources. Once all these sources are achieved, the player can likely start concentrating on other obstacles.
