Research is nice to have. However it's probably not worth the time/plat on any server more than a year old.
Why?
It's a skill that has depreciating value because it isn't needed for spells above 49.
So Kunark drops tons of mats and research spells become cheap to purchase even if your research skill is 0. I suggest outsourcing Research to EC.
I'd only suggest doing research if you like doing tradeskills in EQ in general.
Otherwise have that higher level Caster or higher researched skilled friend get your spells made for you for far less energy and effort.
