'''Invention''' is the means by which you produce [[blueprint]] copies for [[Techs, Tiers 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 II 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.

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.

A player using the invention process takes a BPC for a ~~lower tech~~ item, adds certain specialized equipment, and attempts to create a BPC for a corresponding ~~higher tech~~ item. Although it sounds simple, invention can be very expensive and difficult to do successfully.

The (hopefully) created BPC will have a single run on a ship BPC, and 10 runs on everything else. It will have ME -2% and TE -4%. These values are regardless of those on the input T1 BPC. The Runs, ME and TE levels on the created BPC can be adjusted using decryptors (see optional items below).

For a quick history of T2 manufacturing, see the section at the bottom of this page.

For a quick history of Tech II manufacturing, see the section at the bottom of this page.

# Base Item (recommended)[[File:Selecting a decryptor.png|right|thumb|Selecting a decryptor]]

#* One optional item that can be included is a base item - a "named" Tech 1 item of the type you are trying to invent.

#* These items increase the chance of a successful invention job significantly. The "Meta Level" of an item is the key factor.

#* These items increase the chance of a successful invention job significantly. The "[[Techs,_Tiers_and_Meta_levels#Tech_1_Meta_1-4|Meta Level]]" of an item is the key factor.

#* You can use Meta Level 1 to 4 ("named" tech I items) as a base item for invention - Meta 0 items have no effect, and you cannot use higher Meta Level items than Meta 4. The higher the Meta Level of the base item, the better chances of success. Like datacores, this base item will be consumed during the Invention process, whether you are successful or not.

# Decryptors (recommended for big expensive invention jobs, like T2 ships)
