The amount of experience gained from disassembling or siphoning equipment depends on both the level of the item and on the tier of equipment it belongs to. Previously the Invention experience rates given through siphoning and disassembling equipment was the same regardless of tier, however an update on 14 March 2016 introduced a tier-based experience system. Tier-80 functions as a baseline for the experience gained from siphoning and disassembly, with tier-90 equipment offering roughly 15% more experience and tier-70 equipment offering roughly 15% less.
The ratio of Invention experience gained to item experience generally increases with level, but there are some notable exceptions. Cells marked in red below denote levels where the Invention experience per item experience is less than lower levels. Cells marked in green are the optimum levels for siphoning or disassembling. Players may consider it more convenient to train items to level 10 (or 12) before using siphons, if they wish to construct or buy fewer siphons.
