Patch Notes/30 November 2020

Note: This page also includes the minor additional notes published on 1 December 2020.

Invention

We have made significant changes to Invention and the tasks related to it. Our main issue with it was that you had to complete a lot of tasks before you could start utilizing the skill. This has been combated by allowing certain aspects to be used, task by task. Most tasks will have unlocks, allowing you to disassemble items, augment items, siphon and stock up on charges for both your personal charge-pack and generators. For details see the unlock section of this announcement.

The first unlock will be the ability to disassemble anything that is not augmented. Standard rules apply here, so no making of items that get you xp or reputation that are not needed for your active task. This unlock is tied to the first Invention related task in the hard tier, and all Invention tasks are imposed.

Items made through Invention can be made whenever they benefit your active task. This includes augmentors for augmenting items, gizmo’s and perks, but also other items like the fishing rod-o-matic, spirit-tree re-rooters and alchemical onyxes and even the various machines.

Important note: For those that have done the Invention tutorial, but haven’t got the first unlock which allows you to disassemble anything that is not augmented, can treat this unlock as unlocked. In the new situation it is not possible to not get it on your first task.

Archaeology

Recently it was brought up that the Inquisitor’s staff pieces were forced before a task that would allow you to hand in a collection that also gives 1 staff piece. This led us to making the following change - All tasks that forced you to hand in a collection without doing anything with the rewards have been removed. This means that you are no longer limited to handing in collections you have had tasks for. Certain collections give a one-time reward as in a part for a relic. You can not actually make and power the relic, this is still limited to the task itself, but the collection for it can be handed in.
