Invention
Invention is a skill where you disassemble items to get materials, and then use those materials to make inventions. Inventions are items which give you boosts and perks, at the cost of materials. You need level 90 Crafting to train Invention.
All aspects of the Invention skill are accessed using /invention
Invention has a minigame, Tinkering Workshop.
Disassembling
- Using
/invention disassemble, select the item you want to disassemble. - You will disassemble those items into materials. The materials you get are dependent on the group the item is in. For example, items in the Food group will give Organic materials at a 100% ratio. However, some items are obviously more valuable, like a Shark vs a Trout. Check out
/invention tools command:Material Groups for a full list of items you can disassemble. - Use
/invention materialsto see what materials you own. Note: They are not tradeable, and cannot be transferred to other players. - The difference between items (e.g. Shark vs Trout) is their level, a Shark has a higher level - and the level determines the Junk Chance of the item, so a Shark is much less likely to become junk. Everything has a chance (high or small) of becoming junk.
- The amount of XP you get from disassembly is dependent on the level of the item and your invention level.
Research
- Now you have materials!
- Use
/invention researchto research with a particular material type, effectively sending your minion to use this material and try to research and discover things it can make with it. - If successful, you will discover a blueprint which uses the material that you are researching with. For example, if a particular invention uses sharp materials, and you're researching with sharp materials, you have a chance to unlock the blueprint for it.
- Blueprints only need to be unlocked once, and they grant you the ability to create that invention.
Inventing
- Now you have materials, and the blueprint for the Invention you want!
- Use
/invention inventto create the particular invention you want. - Inventions cost materials to make, and some inventions cost items to make. These are one-time costs.
- Once you have made an invention, if its one that works from the bank, its ready to go! If it's one that needs to be equipped (like Silverhawk boosts), then you'll need to equip them.
- Inventions cost a small amount of materials each time you use them.
- You can use
/config user toggle_invention invention:nameto temporarily toggle a invention off, if you don't want to use it. - That's it! Your inventions will never break or need to be created again. You cannot trade inventions.

Tips
- There are bank filters for every material to show all items in your bank which give a particular material. For example, if you want sharp materials, you could do
/bank filter:sharp-materialto see all items you can disassemble to get some - If your goal is just to train Invention, or to reach level 120, you can just disassemble cheap items! You don't have to disassemble expensive, valuable items.
- There's a collection log for Invention, showing all the Inventions, and the pet it comes with.
Boosts

Efficient Training
This guides purpose is to serve as a quick guide to reach level 99 Invention. It is not the absolute fastest way to level 99. Nor is it the most efficient for getting a variety of materials. I recommend you reach level 99/120 first using this guide and then figure out what inventions you want to aim for.
Consider getting the inventor's outfit from Tinkering Workshop at some point, for 4% bonus XP.
