You'll do better if you pay a higher level magician research your pet for you with his higher skill, for the reasons above.

Coincidentally, this is a nice little earner for mages to afford their higher level words.

You got your wish despite what the devs said the recipes don't work research is broken. Stop pretending and trying to placate everyone with empty words.

not a bug. all tradeskills work this way. Trivial does not mean 95% success rate.

Yeah i saw the post, but not all research work this way, no other class needs to make all the previous tier research for a single combine.

Only magician. As unclassic as it can be. People misunderstand what the "classic experience" means.

No one or almost went through this, ever. If only a couple of souls, it was fix pretty much as soon as player got to that content.

Dumb idea back then is still dumb today. I am not in the head of the people enforcing this and they will not want to lose face anyway. But this as nothing to do with what they claim to want to achieve. They are just breaking a class severly for no reason for the first 2 month.

Mage will work after, just delaying a working class that people remember playing during the "classic experience" that was everquest from Release to Velious.

1) Mage research was always like this

2) Mage research was actually completely broken for 2 or 3 months, though P99 isn't seeking to emulate that

3) In addition to this, mage pets couldn't wield weapons, would run from mobs that conned red to the pet, wouldn't dual wield, didn't cast spells

although

4) They would hit for a bit more on the high end.

So you're right, classic was in fact much worse for mages than it is now, on the balance
