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.

Start auctioning WTB for those research components and other people will do the work for you.

I mean, it's supposed to be a social game...

You forgot the level 19 gargoyle in OOT and level 30 cyclops you can kill for the level 29 pet.

lol I wish I had a computer still so I could play this server. I’ve only read a few pages of this thread and find it sooooo funny some people complaining about magicians when they won’t be playing a mage by the end of the timeline lol. Typical new server crap. U aren’t real mages!

As if Mages aren't wildly powerful enough as is.

[Deathrydar]

All of the highest level characters are magicians. I think they are fine...

[Baa]

I used to always be auctioning for materials for upcoming spells and checking vendors around and near the zones I was leveling up in, aside from some outliers I do not believe it took me too long to hunt them down.

Sounds like quite a quest! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: wait shouldn't you be working out a system to turn a profit out of this??

Damn you’re right lmao

All pets are researched? I thought there was at least one per tier you could buy. Necros have to research some of their lich/pet buff spells too which are slightly important. I know ench/wiz have researched stuff but enchanters are so OP anyway and no one cares about wizards.

Only priests/monks get the full easy-mode.

*Oh yeah.. not sure if this is different since I did it in 2010 on blue but I remember training my research up quite a bit through the guildmaster. I spent over 1k on it but it was worth the hassle. Classic changes might have changed that since then for all I know.
