Yeah, Issue #8 was only released less than two weeks ago but the players are already starting to gather information on Issue #9.

This was posted on the CoH boards by Frostouch on finding some stuff on the Test Server about the upcoming Invention and Consignment system...

Aplogies if this has either already been posted/discussed, or if it's already hit live and I'm just unbelievably slow today. I was running around on my old blaster, and arbitrarily hopped over to the Steel Canyon PCU campus on my way to IP, when I noticed there are three new plaques (and two new NPCs) giving more details on the Invention system.

The plaques' text are a nice window into inventions, which is why I was surprised my search-fu didn't turn up anything.

(Note, these are numbered in the order I read/took the screenshots)

Plaque 1:
The invention enhancements are level-based, and you'll be able to outgrow your created enhancements. You can invent enhancements up to three levels higher than your current level. Also, your origin is completely irrelevant.

The uncommon and rare enhancements can also use use recipes that are dropped by enemies that you defeat along the way. These recipes will help you invent better enhancements than the invention tables can offer.

Plaque 2:
Invention salvage dropped will have three different types: Rarity, common, uncommon and rare.

The common salvage can be used in the invention tables in the universities and if your Supergroup's base has one, the invention table located in the workshop room.

The uncommon and rare can be used in combination with recipes to invent stronger enhancements.

Plaque 3:
There are two types of salvage dropped by enemies when defeated, base salvage and invention salvage. Base salvage is used to create items for your Supergroups' base, where invention salvage is used to create enhancements for yourself. The two types of invention salvage that are dropped is magic and technology.

The trading floor is where you can buy and sell invention salvage and recipes.
