What exactly is the benefit of living in a research city?
I've heard an extra experience point?
I just wanna be positive before I move.

plus 10% crafting experimenting on evrything that is crafted in one. it turns out to be realy sweet.

Much more amazing successes, less good success and failures... Really worth it.

also it *seems* like you don't need to actually be a resident in a research city.
i live right outside a research city and if i want to i'll take my materials and go inside a non-private house with a good crafting station that i know in that city and make my schematic.
i'm 90% postive this works.

Yes it's within the city limits. I agree that it should not be your first criteria for choosing your city, but the difference is much more than just one mrore attempt to make a good schematic. For example, making buff packs it used to take me up to 6 tries per schematic to get one with just great successes, now it usually takes one. Also, on an ABEC schematic for example I can get an amazing success every 8 attempt or so, and it takes at least twice as long outside the city to get the same result.

I started crafting at a like 16 I think privat crafting station inside a hospial with a Doc trainer right by it inside a reserch center and I get about 8 to 10 times as meny amazing sucsess and about 3 times as meny great sucess. I was hitting a pritty high rate of great sucess anyway with my +10 skill tape.

How beneficial it is, compared to other city speciliasations,depends on your profession I reckon.
Getting even a slightly higher success to failure ratio (& it is only slight I believe) is always nice, but most of what I make is from schematics.
I can make a schematic outside a research city that's just as good as one made inside a research city. It might, just maybe, take meone moreattemptthan inside the city, but when it's done, my production is equal to anything made inside a research centre.
If I were an armoursmith or weaponsmith, making something using a rare looted component tho, then I might want some added protection from a critical fail during the crafting process ... tho even that protection is not absolute, & the added protection of being in a reseach centre is made less important when using skill tapes, or by using the right food or drink.
You can still make just asa good stuff outside a research centre as inside it, it's just ever so slightly riskier when hand crafting.
If you're a crafter, don't restrict your choice of city to one witha research centre ... what's farmore important (vital in fact) is who you're citizens with, that you want the same from the game as they do, etc.
Iam.
