How "hard" or "annoying" is research?

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.

This tidbit is IMO the key part of this entire thread. If you want to save money farm or buy the components and have a master researcher do the combine for you. If money is no object buy the spells outright. If you have a truckload of plat with nothing to spend it on then do research.

Do tradeskills because you like to do them.
