even after rewatching tis over and over. im still confused XD lol

[@ramonestefano]

I'm watching it non stop and I can't understand shit. Like, this is a guide for people that know invention.

[@jmtrad1906]

I feel all his guides are hard to understand if is your first experience with what you're trying to learn.

[@Knightfire66]

youre learn by doing... its not so hard... just try find out what you wanna do > go to wiki find out how to > and try to do it . some times it takes a couple million gold to get what you want. or youre happy with 2nd best or 3rd best item. like me... then its very easy

[@Mirroir2107]

I just finished it for the first time and i was left like, eh.... What?

[@3lavang]

Same with me. I didn't learn shit. Worst guide forreal.

[@40krocks21]

Dude I gotta give you a HUGE thanks. I got back into rs3 last November and had 4 99s. Watching your videos got me hooked and I’ve been on the grind, and maxed a few months back. I never properly thanked you as your videos single-handedly helped me get back into the game and level up my acc efficiently. I feel like I climbed Everest, and you were my guide that showed me the best shortcuts.;) Thanks my friend!

[@ProtoxxGaming]

Happy to help man! Comments like yours keep me going

[@TWEEKL]

When making a prototype always aim to make "Perfect" when arranging the parts as this will give you the max amount of xp from them. Being you can only discover them once and they typically give large chunks of xp I highly recommend doing this and saving them for dxp weekends for the greatest gains.

[@zZArsenicZz]

I'm still completely lost.

[@xZyun]

I didn't understand how to actually start invention, I did the tutorial and got to lvl 4 but still don't know how to level up items

[@RDB33]

@@xZyun just buy an augmentor from the g/e stick it on your tool or weapon and go do other skills. invention is basically a passive/background skill thats the best way to look at it imo

[@SamFilms]

@@RDB33 at the moment i use fish o matic while fishing and disemble it when it reaches top level for around 500-600k xp

[@kpoptraveler5247]

​@@xZyun Yeah, I was lost in the same way until watching multiple guides (including this one!). You've probably figured it out by now since it's been six months, but for anyone passing by - buy an augmentor, stick it onto a weapon, fight enemies with it, unequip it, disassemble it, and then you get your invention experience. Most guides I've watched have said that "skillvention" is the slowest way of training invention and the quickest way will be attaching augmentors to combat items, fight enemies with it, and then disassembling all the equipment. Later on in the skill, there becomes an option to siphon an item rather than disassembling it. At this point in the skill, you were leveling up the item, taking it off, and then disassembling it thus losing the item for the invention experience points. Siphoning an item gives you fewer experience points, but allows you to keep the item, stick another augmentor on it, and continue earning exp that way. This way you don't have to purchase another weapon/armor - you just have to purchase the augmentor. That handles the leveling portion of it. The other portion which was also confusing to me was obtaining parts, but I thought of it like loot boxes when disassembling items. You won't always get the components you need when you disassemble an item, so it's best to disassemble in bulk until you get what you want. Once you get enough components of what you need, then you can create what you need to create at the Inventor's Workbench. Perks work in a similar fashion, but I've already written a ton and there's definitely better guides on here that explain it more in depth. tl;dr - stick augmentor onto combat items, fight things, unequip, disassemble/siphon, repeat

[@xc1951]

@@kpoptraveler5247 -_- you're comment literally explained it alot better this video basically just showed us which perks to get and what items u can get

[@tunod-]

I just hate how I have to come back to this vid every once in a while. I learn about invention and get burnt out eventually only to come back to RS and have to learn all about invention again.

[@forrest6661]

Couple things worth mentioning: - XP capacitors, though expensive, will literally double your item XP and therefore invention XP. They can be purchase from the GE and will last for 100k charges. Do note that if you die with one of these on you, no matter where (unless it's a safe minigame/instance), it will be lost and not able to be reclaimed. - At 120 archaeology, you can gain around 800k invention XP/hr by siphoning a mattock of time and space at level 12. This is a very fast and profitable way to train invention to 200m XP.

I finally decided to start training invention but it was so confusing that I had to look up a guide. After watching your video, I'm still confused and overwhelmed so I'm just gonna go back to doing anything else.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

Just augment some things and start gaining xp. Whats confusing you? :o Join my discord (link in description) and ill be happy to explain

[@jimbob-rc2xk]

most people cant be bothered to try,

[@monkey220ms]

As someone who barely plays runescape, I wish this was even more in depth. Took me a bit to realize that you have to get augmentors before you can level you items up, and the weapon has to be tier 70+. So for the first part of the guide, you can buy augmentors on the GE and crystal halbard is a cheap T70 melee option. This is shown in the video clips but it wasn't vocalized.

[@YWFMentality]

Im just getting back into Runescape during dxp after being gone for years. without your guides I probably would've left again.

[@Jonius]

I'm level 86 Invention and I got the impression that the Dwarven/Goblin "Tech Tree" was a choose one or the other, and didn't know much about unlocking it besides maybe talking to Oldak. Who would've thought it be that simple! Also Ancient Invention only requires 85 Invention not 95. Additionally the Extreme Invention potion will boost your level +17 for 6 minutes, meaning you can unlock it as early as level 68!

[@cormactaylor9539]

What's faster disassembling crystal halberds or syphoning a nox sycth? And what is cheaper?

After watching this video while doing abyssal demon slayers with a crystal halberd and an aggression potion, I had the idea to go in gwd1 and do the same thing. Aggression pots/soul split and I can get a halberd to level 10 in under 1 hour and make a good bit of money, even after paying for the aggression pots/prayer pots.

agreed, also could of shown the fastest and easyest way to find the perfect combo, i take less than 30s to do the entire thing now that i'm used to doing it (switching one, seeing the result, and switching back and moving onto the next spot, like small scale code cracking) litteraly 30-ish seconds to get perfect every single time also the fact that when your on "excellent" you only are one movement away from perfect, so its just a matter of logical elimination to find wich needs to be moved

Yup you start with some divine charges to get you going

you will eventually run out of those initial charges if you continuously use whatever tool you're using it took me a LONG TIME for my charges to run out that I actually forgot about divine charges until one day I finally got the warning on the screen that said I needed more charge, "I was like what the hell is going on"

[@Tristin320]

I have absolutely no idea what is going on. I feel like the parts about unlocking stuff and how to put perks on weapons and how that whole process works was glossed over too fast. Maybe the real reason is that this video just taught me a lot of terminology that I didn't know and then you used that terminology alot so I got extremely lost.

[@Tristin320]

Like I understand that to level up you need to put perks on a weapon by "augmenting" them which you need an "augmentor" for. You gain this exp by "disassembling" or siphoning. They also need fuel to run which is "divine charges". I have NO idea how you unlock these things tho. The whole invention workbench and randomly changing position of things and like adding components randomly to some Minecraft Crafting Table was gone over too fast like i already was suppose to know what's going on.

[@RDB33]

best way to look at invention is as a passive skill. you cant really "directly" train it. you attach things to tools and your weapons and armours and they level up thus giving you invention exp. once you wrap your head around this idea invention becomes a lot less confusing imo

[@Ab-rq1pw]

I'm just going to lamp to lvl 20 🥺 I think this is skills over my head, unfortunately.

question, can I save my crystal halberds in my bank, then disassemble like 30 of them in a row when next dxp drops?

[@Wall1s]

Yes and no. You can save them up in your bank but during dxp weekend items level at 1.5x normal speed. The amount of xp you get from siphoning/disassembling is the same.

[@chizzlenips8385]

@protoxx between weapons and skilling the amount of exp is the same. I leveled a blk salamander to 10 and got 490k exp. Did the same with a hammertron and received the same gains. Am I missing something ?

[@ProtoxxGaming]

those skilling tools count as the same tier as the black sally. Higher weapons would get more XP. Also it's faster to level items with combat than skilling

[@jowjowbro]

do extra xp things like double xp event or artifacts work on dismanteling? if so could i potentially buy a ton of crystal halberts level them all up to lvl10 and then dismantel on a double xp event? or is that not how this works.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

They do not. Invention works on DXP, but only for discovering blueprints. You gain 1.5x item experience on DXP though, which means you can get to level 10 faster. You do NOT gain any bonus xp for destroying augmented items

[@jowjowbro]

@@ProtoxxGaming oh okay thank you for the quick response. So it would cost the same on DXP but goes Faster.
