Confused by new research systemFollow

On TLP server the new research system is in. I have used the new research system on my old main, but it has been a few years and that character was higher level when getting into it. I didn't particularly like it because my bank was full of research mats, I would have made it far simpler if I was going to reprogram the whole thing... but I digress.


Here's my issue: I have a research kit and I have the mats for some trivial at 33 combines. It gives the message "you have not met the requirements". What requirements is it talking about? I was able to train research to 20 at my GM. I was able to do (expensive for the server) a salt into fine salt combine.


As a side note, (and since someone might otherwise direct me there... that's what the alla wiki on research basically does) EQtraders is a wonderful site... but as far as helping you out from the ground up it is really hard to navigate to get the information you need.

I don't even really want to do research, but I am now past my level 16 necro pet and no one is making them on the server.

My understanding is that spell research is currently broken and no spells can be made. Among other things, I've read that the combine for the vial of pure water used for all parchment solutions will not combine. You'd have been better off continuing to level until research is fixed since your initial research level = the level you train it.

Ouch, but thanks for the info. My want of the spells meant I would eat the skill points either way.

This not working is a big deal and probably should be in the yellow greeting text "be aware spell research is not active on tlp at this time". I'm not sure if there is a necro pet for a long time that is on a vendor either.

Can't help you about research, BUT Brettas Norval SK spells in Paineel and Crilt in Grobb sell the level 20 necro spell Animate Dead for 3pp 1gp 4sp 9cp.

EDIT: I can confirm Brettas has this on Fippy, I just made a level 1 SK to test this.

Thanks! I bought the 20 necro and 29 necro pet from him.

16 pet was on Sheras Milaku in the same room.


Level 24 pet is the research only one... but I can deal with not having one pet... 4 in a row was looking to be bad.

It seems like the lvl 24 & 33 pets are not going to be available unless they fix research, but the lvl 39 may be available from a pixie merchant in Lesser Faydark (can't check this out at the moment with my lvl 6 necro). It seems we may be screwed after that too, but I do have a small amount of faith that the devs will fix this soon.

Haven't checked the O-boards on this matter yet.
