Been really lazy those days, and haven't played on my alt account for a while. However, you'll probably need to raise their levels when you need to research better items. A guide on the mid-game (levels 11~100) should be on its way, when I feel like writing it, but a common guideline would be to keep your workers at about your shop level. On a personal note, I've never bothered to RESEARCH items that require both tailor and blacksmith. Always bought the recipes instead, and had my sorcerer and carpenter waste their time on research, or cooperating with other workers. Unless you have plenty of items for sale, don't lock up bs+tail together on a research for too long. Lucky amulet (sorc + carp) is a great asset around level 20~40 as well.
