Actually the cost to raise the skill with a trainer goes up approximately at the same rate that your money earning skills go up. At first its really cheap. So, it is doable even for a first char, you just have to prioritize it.
Well..even if I max out at my trainer I will only be able to hit 45 in research by lvl 24 (iirc). The spells I need for that level (including my research only pets) are trivial at 62.

Apparently, this is no secret because those pages for 24 spells sell for silly amounts of plat. I had somebody wanting to charge me 200p for a single transcendence page. I did manage to find a couple at 50p but even that is pretty expensive at 24 when there is an expectation of failing the combines multiple times and the combines also includes the cost of a spell on top of that. Now repeat that for the pets and it's potentially quite expensive. Maybe I will get lucky and not fail but I'm not counting on that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
