Actually you would be amazed if you went around looking at NPC vendors, they usually have most of those rare spell components for sale because most players on P99 don't even realize and just sell everything to NPC vendors. I can find most components to just about any spell if I check enough vendors.

I mean sure, but to say that it's a guaranteed way to get your spell components is an exaggeration. I've never been able to guarantee that I can find research components that way on any of my casters (Blue & Green). Sure if you could port around everywhere then you could probably eventually find what you needed after checking a ton of vendors, but unless you have a porting alt or a friend willing to help you out, that's not really feasible.

Also, okay great you found the words on a vendor for a spell. You probably only found one pair of the words and you're possibly not trivial at the level you need to be yet. If you fail the combine, you're back where you started.
