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 heroes 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.

All campuses (Steel Canyon, Croatoa and Founders' Falls) also hold many Invention Worktables at which inventions may be created.

Inventing in General

Inventions are created by combining salvage, influence/infamy and a recipe at a worktable.

There are currently four types of inventions:

Specific Inventions

Enhancements

See Invention Origin Enhancements

Costume Pieces

A number of animated costume pieces will be able to be crafted with the system. Known initial pieces include:

Tech Wings
Dragon Wings
Burned Wings
Bone Wings
Bat Wings
Cherub Wings
Insect Wings
Fairy Wings
Rocket Boots (animate while Flying)
Piston Boots (animate while Jumping)
Winged Boots


Temporary Powers

Main article: Invention Temporary Powers

There are a small number of temporary powers craftable with the inventions system.

Badges

From early developer comments about the Invention System, it was revealed that the system would allow for the crafting of any type of reward in the game, including crafting of badges. No badges are directly crafted in the initial implementation of the system, however. A large number of badges are, however, linked to the system, as seen below.
