Hi All,
I am currently at around 330 in research, and keep track of what I have and what I need via spreadsheet.

Looking at my 'gaps', I can see that I need to hunt for
- spell scrolls
- paper
- spell tablet
- numen plaque
- orphic card
in all shapes and forms.

Would anyone have suggestions about zones where any of these drop in satisfactory quantities? I have farmed Bastion of Thunder, Fortress Mechanotus, Undershore, and a couple not so good ones, so I know its slow as hell, therefore any tipps are much appreciated...
Thank you
 
Look the items up on eqtraders.com or allah and find the zones that are lowest level with the most mobs that drops the item and farm the crap out of them. If I remember most of these were easily farmed in older zones with wizard type mobs. Crystallos, Steam Factory, The Hive are a few. Good Luck and Happy Farming.

I usually check magelo for items and % drops form mobs, kindy handy
 
You shouldn't need farming quantities to learn recipes. Don't forget that you can use Overseer to get many of the basic spell components that can be used for others:
SoF for Orphic​
RoF for Numen​
TDS for Sortilege​
VoA for Tablets​
 
Vendor dive. Yes, hit the zones others are fighting in that have easy access to npc that they sold to. Which ever are popular for your server. Generally you can find some on vendors in lobby, around pok major port points, most parcel merchants. Also check the NPC in the baz, etc.
 
If your only goal is to max your AP then you don't need to max all TS to 350 to achieve it. You need a total of 400 skill points over 300 across all TS. I usually leave tailoring and research to the end so you only need 50 skill points over 300 for both taioring and research combined i usually do tailoring to 330 and research to 320 for the win. If your lucky and your toon can do tinkering, poisoncraft or alchemy then you have another 50 skill point to play with which means you done even need to go near research other than scribing the books.
 
420 actually. you have only 30points of wiggle room, suggest using those on Smithing, Tailoring, and/or Baking for you sanity and your OCD inventory
