Research pages I believe are linked to different zones. You might want to start asking around and working on getting these spells. It sucks if you are in that top percentile because you will need to get the research materials yourself, but that's part of the deal when you choose a research based class.

I don't think you've ever done research in classic.

Noone is going to "get" the materials themselves, I farmed 11 hours straight in a "level appropriate" place for level 16 drops yesterday, and got 1 research component. Exactly one.

This included me making 5 levels, on NPCs with levels 14-18.

Looking at drops like Glove of Rallos Zek, the wiki lists it as "Random drop from any level ~24-39 mob", so you'd have to be killing mobs of at least level 24, with a level 20 pet. This only worsens with levels.

Want to make the level 29 air pet? Go kill some lavaduct crawlers or brownie guards, both level 43+ mobs.

There is a reason this was patched.
