research is really important to get a handfull of spells, spells you can only get from the skill. also a very tricky skill to level up

What spells can't you just buy in the EC tunnel (far more easily)?

Personally, I wasted a ton on getting my Mage's research up, and I did use it for a few pet spells in Green's early days ... but at this point, it really feels more like a vanity skill than a necessity.

well theres only like two people that sell mage pets on green and they are in the 500+ plat range for level 34s. not bad for a vet player with extra cash on a 4 year old museum server. but deterring for a new player

It’s maybe cheaper to train than buy ice comet (the Vox drop). It’s definitely quicker than finding one for sale.

Yes. I went this route exactly, and it cost me 1400 or so to max out Research at 170, and made Ice Comet. I did it at 49

Research is not a skill that takes level learned as a bonus
there is no benefit to waiting to train that particular skill since it uses a different formula then most in the game
Train it to max every opportunity you can up to level 50 using a trainer since it's also one of the few that let you do that as well. Research is actually fun for me I like collecting the items and making copies of everything for the four caster classes.
