'''Invention''' is the means by which you produce [[blueprint]] copies for [[Tech and meta levels|Tech 2 items and ships]] in EVE, which can then be sold on the market, or (more popularly) be used to manufacture those items for sale or personal use in the game.

'''Invention''' is the means by which you produce [[blueprint]] copies for [[Tech and meta levels|Tech 2 items and ships]] in EVE, which can then be sold on the market, or (more popularly) the BPCs can be used to manufacture those items for sale or personal use in the game.

A player using the invention process takes a blueprint copy (BPC) for a Tech 1 item, adds certain specialized equipment, and attempts to create a BPC for a corresponding Tech 2 item. Although it sounds simple, invention can be very expensive and difficult to do successfully.

Line 77:

== Items required ==

There are 3 mandatory items and 1 optional item needed for invention. To find out which items are required, look in the Invention tab in a blueprint for any Tech I item, or load the blueprint into the Industry window and choose Invention.

There are 2 mandatory items and 1 optional item needed for invention. To find out which items are required, look in the Invention tab in a blueprint for any Tech I item, or load the blueprint into the Industry window and choose Invention.

=== Mandatory Items ===

Line 167:

== The invention process ==

Gather your BPC, all mandatory items, and any optional items you desire to use in a station, citadel, or engineering complex with invention facilities. Engineering complexes provide significant innate reductions (from 15% to 30% depending on complex size) to job duration and installation cost, and further reductions in time and cost are possible if the complex owner has installed the appropriate rigs.

Gather your BPC, all mandatory items, and any optional items you desire to use in a station, [[Upwell_structures#Citadels|citadel]], or [[Upwell_structures#Engineering_complexes|engineering complex]] with invention facilities. Engineering complexes provide significant innate reductions (from 15% to 30% depending on complex size) to job duration and installation cost, and further reductions in time and cost are possible if the complex owner has installed the appropriate rigs.

Select the relevant BPC in the Industry window, and choose Invention on the activity list. The resulting window will tell you your invention chance, taking into account your skills and any selected optional items.

Line 208:

The effect of skills is equivalent to 3.333% per science skill level and 2.5% per encryption skill level.

You can experiment with different skill levels and decryptors to see how the probability changes. Use this to determine the levels of skills you wish to train, and whether you want to invest in decryptors. Remember that decryptors also affect max runs, ME, and TE of the final BPC, not just the chance of success.
