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
