Ok cool thanks, and BTW Ittey i think this is possibly the best guide i have read in a long time, with a little help from friends and a big help from your guide i have done many inventions and loving it :) cheers for the accurate and easy guide mate.

Ok, I think I know what the problem is. The formula should read:
Runs = max(1;Round.Down(ActualRunsInputBPC/MaxRunsInputBPC*MaxRunsOutputBPC) + DecryptorBonusRuns)
That makes sure that you always end up with at least one run, but if you use a decryptor with bonus runs and a low-run BPC, you can end up with only the bonus runs on the resulting BPC.
Your example should then read:
Runs = max(1;Round.Down(1000/1000*10) + 4)
I guess I am to blame for that error. And you are of course right. Good catch!
It's been a long time in the making, but i've just posted an updated version of the runs formula here.

I'm thinking of trying invention - can you just clarify a point for me?
Assuming you have, say, 10 max run BPCs and a data interface, how do you then go about starting the jobs when it comes to the base items and decryptors? can they be used simultaneously?
From what (little) I understand from the guide there are 3 possibilities:
1) You have to have 1 bpc, the data interface, 1 base item and 1 decryptor to go in, start job, wait for it to finish, then rinse and repeat 9 more times.
2) You can start up 10 "goes" by putting all BPCs in along with the data interface, a base item and a decryptor.
3) The data interface does not disappear from hangar when it is used for an invention job, so you can start concurrent invention jobs with 1 bpc, 1 base item, 1 decryptor going into each separate invention run.
or is it something else entirely?!
Thanks.

Hi
I've just completed 4 invention jobs on sisi for the new Golem TII Battleship.
3 succeeded and 1 failed
I used Installation Guide with a 1 run Raven BPC and no metea item
Resulting Golem BPC's were all ME -4 PE +1 3 runs each
this result does not match up with the modifiers that the installation guide decryptor should give which should have resulted in ME -7 PE -1 and +4 runs.
Can anyone explain these results? or is the information regardin the decryptors incorrect?
Just curious, if i get similar results on tranquility i will be a very happy bunny

Decryptors are being "balanced" right now.
No idea what's happening with invention chance, but ME/PE levels from decryptors seem to have been heavily boosted across the boards (only "pluses", no more minuses), but bonus runs have been decreased.
Of course, we're still not seing the final numbers yet I suppose, we'd have to wait for the actual release first.
I just hope they do get out the new data exports ASAP, so we can see what exact changes they will have made by then.

I was just going to ask more or less the same question as Amateratsu. I did eight invention jobs on sisi for the Minmatar BSes (four each) and ended up with one Black Ops and two Marauders prints (37.5%). I used Assembly Instructions and 1 run BPCs on all of them and the resulting prints were ME -4, PE +1, 3 runs (I expected ME -7, PE -2, 4 runs).
While I realize these two data points aren't sufficient to be considered statistically significant, I wonder if they may have increased the success chance significantly?
Oh, and Ittey, I just noticed a minor error (typo) in your guide:
ME Wastage Constant
0 0 1.1 <-- wastage should be 0.1; constant is correct
-1 0.2 1.2
-2 0.3 1.3
-3 0.4 1.4
-4 0.5 1.5
-5 0.6 1.6
-6 0.7 1.7
-7 0.8 1.8
-8 0.9 1.9

I see nothing in the guide mentioning it, but I've heard a theory - mostly from those having good successes doing invention at POS - that standing with the corp owning the facility affects invention successes. Has anyone any experiences which support or contradict this, or is it just one of those myths that arise from a combination of lucky and unlucky streaks at the right times? |

Nice guide Ittey.
Does anyone have an idea how to run invention jobs in POS (mobile lab).
There's gotta be some strange trick to this, as no matter where I keep my interface, it can't find it, ergo, I cannot run invention jobs 
Anyone?

I cant seem to invent from my corp hanger. I can research bpo from it fine but need to place items in lab at pos to invent. only have scientific networking at 1 but should be fine as I can remote research ok. ?????

Nice catch, fixed.
Oh and try not to complain about my guide not matching sisi people, not really my fault that CCP keeps changing stuff. 
I will update it as soon as the new changes are made, don't have enough time to keep every little upcoming change in the guide.

So if I have understood these calcs correctly, unless you are using a decryptor, you can only successfully invent a 1 run BPC of any given ship, irrespective of how many runs the initial Tech I BPC has.
Use of run boosting decryptors also seems to make most sense on ships in terms of cost v. return.

Speaking of which...is there really any benefit to using a max run ship BPC over a 1 run ship BPC? Or did I miss some formula that explains it...

Well, I read your tutorial and started some invention. My first was lucky and finished with succes.
But I put 300 run BPC T1 into invention, and get only 1 run copy BPC (T2).
I read your example: The final number of runs formula is a doozy compared to the others, so I will explain.
Runs = max( 1; Round.Down( ( ( ActualRunsInputBPC / MaxRunsInputBPC ) * MaxRunsOutputBPC ) + DecryptorBonusRuns))
This was rig then:
ActualRunsInputBPC = 300 (this was my bpc and I made them 300 runs)
MaxRunsInputBC = 1000 (rig)
MaxRunsOutputBPC = 1000 (im not sure but I think this also 1000)
I wasn't using any decryptor
then
runs = max (1, round.down(((300/1000)*1000)+no.bonus)
runs = max (1, 300)
runs = 300
Why I got 1 run BPC? Or where I make mistake?

Sisi seems to give FAR better chances of success with invention than TQ.

That's how I read it as well. Also, I just invented my first Tech 2 Frigate from a max. run BPC (without decryptor), the result was a 1 run Tech 2 BPC. So the experiment confirms our understanding of Ittey's guide.

I did the new Devoter ship invention using Circular Logic as the decryptor. What I got after several tries is a 1 run BPC?
I thought I would get a 9 run BPC at least.
Anybody know more about this?

You should have gotten a 9-run BPC. My guess is that you accidentally left the decryptor field blank on that job.

Thanks.
Since it's a Beginners' guide, you might want to remove the reference to the now defunct T2 BPO lottery from the "Skills" page.

For items are they module only or ship based as well. Ive heard conflicting reports on ship meta items simply designed to reduce the negative % chance reduction and Ive had people say it doesnt matter at all.
Does it or does it not matter to use a ship in the invention rolls?

Using base items on ship jobs does increase the odds, but not enough to make it cost effective currently.

A few datapoints for frigate invention:
Post Trinity, I've run a little test series on Tranquility about the effect of max run BPCs vs. one run BPCs in ship invention. All relevant invention skills were at 4.
First try:
Manticores invented from Kestrel max run BPCs.
10 attempts, 8 of 10 with User Manual (forgot the decryptor for the other 2).
6 out of 10 attempts were successful.
Second try:
Manticores invented from Kestrel BPCs with only 1 run.
10 attempts, 9 of 10 with User Manual (forgot the decryptor in one case).
0 out of 10 attempts were successful.
Now this looks like the run count on the T1 BPC makes a difference for the chance of ship invention, which conflicts with reports from pre-Trinity. Did anyone else test for the influence of T1 BPC run count on ship invention? If yes, what were the results?

Dunno about ships but with rig BPC it gives the same amount of runs with 1000 run bpc and with 1 run bpc.
first try
10 * 1000(max) run rig bpc, no decr
result : 5 * 1(one) run -4me/pe
second try
10* 1 run same rig bpc, no decr
result : 4 * 1(one) run -4me/pe
What is the point to waste time on 1000 runs BPC ?

Can someone post what is different with the decyphers since the last patch? The decyphers them selves have no information in the description or attributes as to what they do and what percentages

Invention is an enigma, wrapped in a cipher.
Thanks so much for the guide, however. It's a good one.

I finally had a look at this guide and noticed you got the pre Trinity stats listed for the decryptors on this page.

So if for ships the "normal" max runs is 1. If we use a +4 runs decryptor. We get 4 runs or 5?
