Invention System
Template:Issue9
This article is a stub. You can help the Paragon Wiki by expanding it.
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]
In the first build for Issue 8 to hit the test server, parts of the Invention System and Universities were accidentally left active in the build, allowing for a sneak peak at a small part of the system. As expected, on the next Issue 8 build to go to the test server this access was removed. Below are some screenshots from inside the Steel Canyon University.

The pieces of the actual system that could be seen appear to allow for the crafting of enhancements ranging from level 5 up to level 50 for all normally enhancable elements. Crafting the enhancements required a combination of Salvage and Influence. All items required pieces of salvage not yet present in the game, so no enhancements could actually be created.
