Invention System

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

Overview

A system where "Players will be able to craft Enhancements and Costume pieces for their characters using recipes, and salvage that they find while adventuring." [1] It has also been 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. [2]

The University

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 University also holds many Invention Worktables at which inventions may be created.

Temporary Powers

Main article: Invention Temporary Powers

Those digging through the game files [3] have also found references to a number of temporary powers that appear to be intended to come from the Invention system. Examples listed include a Bat, Sledgehammer, Revolver, and "Etherial", which is basically a single use Phase Shift.
