Invention System

This article is a stub. You can help the Wiki by expanding it.

Overview

Planned for release with Issue 9, players will use the Invention System to craft Enhancements, costume pieces, temporary powers, inspirations and other items for their characters using recipes and new invention salvage dropped by defeated foes.

Game developers stated that the long-rumored "Legacy System", which would allow for additional improvements of level 50 characters, has evolved/been wrapped up into the Invention System. [1]

The University

The Steel Canyon campus of the University is the place where players learn to use the Invention System. Players can take a series of tutorial missions to learn about the system; the first contact is Admissions Officer Lenk.

Both campuses (Steel Canyon and Croatoa) also hold many Invention Worktables at which inventions may be created.
