Invention Temporary Powers
Overview
The Invention System includes Recipes for several Temporary Powers. Most recipes have multiple "tiers" available, meaning they have up to three salvage combinations possible. However, not all recipes behave this way. These items all come from recipes dropped as part of the Invention System of Issue 9. Recipes are dropped by NPC foes of level 10 or higher.
Temporary Power recipes are part of a seperate recipe drop pool, and are always Level 1, regardless of the enemy from which they drop. As such, even Level 1 characters can utilize crafted temporary powers. Prior to unknown date/patch, Temporary Powers were listed as Level 10. Combining the fact that characters can craft items prior to being able to meet the level requirements and the fact that the temporary power crafted from recipes did not have a level restriction, this meant the Level 10 designation did not actually restrict their use.
