===Originals=== | ===Blueprint Originals=== | ||
Blueprint originals (BPOs) for most T1 items are sold on the market from NPC vendors. They may be purchased and resold by player characters, so check prices. Blueprint originals for T2 items exist, but you'll never see one -- the system changed years ago, and these items are now worth many billions of ISK. | |||
Researched blueprint originals may also be sold on contract between players -- but make sure that you're buying an original; it's quite common for holders of a well-researched BPO to sell copies. For expensive items, these may legitimately command prices similar to unresearched originals. Or you may have stumbled on another contract scam. As usual, ''caveat emptor''. | |||
A BPO can be researched to improve time and materials efficiency, can be copied to produce limited-run blueprint copies which may be sold or used in T2 production; or it can be used as a blueprint to manufacture something. | |||
