Crafting required to gain Invention Badges

Any variety of Invention Origin recipe listed under the badge category works. For all badges except the level 10 group, you need to craft an equal number at each of the two levels. If the total is odd, the extra one may be of either level.

The Field Crafter Badge requires the first 4 badge levels in each category. This comes to 451 enhancements total. The minimum amount of Inf needed just to craft these enhancements is 11,804,000. The total needed to purchase the required salvage and recipes on the market varies with market conditions, but is considerable.

This amount was calculated using:

However, Field Crafter also requires the Master Craftsman Badge (1000 craftings), so the memorization badges are not enough.

Completing the last memorization badge set (level 45 & 50) would add 203 enhancements (as well as bonus recipe slots). However, those are among the most expensive recipes in the game. The minimum Inf needed just to craft (again, not including market costs for salvage and recipes) the enhancements required for this tier is 38,842,000. The total minimum influence needed just to craft the enhancements required for all 45 memorization badges is 50,646,000.

Instead, it is generally easier to reach Master Craftsman by making Empowerments, which count toward crafting totals; or if you routinely craft your own recipe drops for AH sale, arranging to do all that on the character who is to get Field Crafter will grant Master Craftsman in the normal course of play.

Salvage required for crafting enhancements

Crafting any level 10, 15, 20 or 25 enhancement of any one type uses similar salvage; this is also true of level 30, 35 and 40s as a group: each enhancement requires the same 2 or 3 pieces of salvage.

The table below uses these two groupings. For each group, it lists the amount of salvage required for crafting the enhancements described in the previous section. These numbers make the same assumptions, namely:

  • crafting only lowest first four badge levels
  • crafting the least expensive enhancements by crafting cost
  • crafting the lower-level enhancement when an uneven number is required (as shown in the table, above)
  • crafting exactly the quantities described above and totaling the salvage required to do so
