Materials

Materials are the parts and components into which items are disassembled in the Invention skill. Materials are subsequently used, sometimes with non-Invention items, to construct inventions. The quantity of each material (except junk) is capped at 100,000 per player. If the player would get a material they already have 100,000 of, then those materials will not be added and the materials are not rerolled.

Materials currently owned may be viewed in the Invention pouch in the Backpack.

Common materials

When disassembling materials, common components are shown as white text and are often found in every item.

Rare materials

Unlike common and uncommon materials, rare materials can only be found through more specific items. Most rare materials have a 100% chance of being obtained when disassembling the appropriate items. Some rare materials require discovery at an Inventor's workbench before they may be used in a gizmo; however, this level is not required to obtain them.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 2 September 2019 (Update):
  • Made text use the correct skin colour on the Invention materials interface.

• patch 10 June 2019 (Update):.
  • The Invention Materials window has now been made into an overlay meaning you can disassemble your items and see the interface update in real time, for mobile players you can now tap on an Invention Material to see a full description of said material.

• patch 1 February 2016 (Update):
  • Players can now use a right-click option on the money pouch in legacy mode to check their Invention materials.
