Spells: Original implementation of Spell Research - Recipes

[Dolalin]

For a previous thread around mage pets, I was able to dig up a .doc file that contained the original implementation of Research as it was released in (I believe) April of 1999, just after launch.

It must date from mid-May 1999 or earlier as it contains recipes for mage spells that are very different to how they were on Live after this time. Yes, they were missing every pet over 29 and half of the recipes they *did* have were broken. This matches evidence from mailing lists and newsgroups. Mage research was revamped at the end of May 1999 to be more comprehensive and not broken, and the contents of their research recipe books changed at that time to what we know them to be today.

The doc is here:

The dumped recipe list is:

This recipe list also has recipes for Necromancer spells pre-June and July 1999, when a lot of Necro spells were added/removed/changed (Charm, Beguile, Vampiric Wave, Wave of Enfeeblement II, LifetapAEIV, etc).

If at some point in future the devs would like to implement spell research in its original form for future iterations of Green, this is the handbook on how to do it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Found on the old EQNecros site (originally called The Dark Side, by the way), a screenshot of the necro spell research book with the Charm recipe:

The full research recipe guide is below (dates from Summer 1999 or so) and has older spells like Vampiric Wave and Lifetap AEIV:
