On test server for a while, even warriors were able to get research ability (not sure if that's still true actually). It was bugged. I'm hoping that didn't make it to live somehow?

I ran into this too recently when my shammy hit 25. Was about two weeks ago....didn't try to see if he could actually combine anything.

Clerics and druids get reseatch at 25 too, but none of the three classes can raise skill in it, as the skill isn't offered by guildmasters. The skill is listed as 1/200 in the skills window and the only way to get it at present is to ding 25.

If you try and do a research combine, you just get a "your class cannot use this container" message.

If you're really sneaky and try a Sage's box of research combine, you'll get a "you're not skilled enough to even contemplate this combine" or similar message. Doing the same combine on a character with no research skill doesn't give a message.

I was hoping it'd be something for the new expansion that's gone in a bit early, but if everyone gets it, warriors included, then it's probably just a bug.

Either a mistake (likely) or something for the expansion (possibly, but I don't think so.)
