A bit of history here about the item, thanks to Elysium_M from Reddit, as I’ve long since forgotten about the origins of how I would have this in my possession.
Back when I started in 2007, the tutorials were obviously very different. The industry tutorial in particular was very odd. It started off with basic manufacturing stuff, but it moved pretty quickly into invention and t2 modules.
The way CCP pushed you into invention was by giving you a T1 blueprint - a Perpetual Motion Unit I - that couldn’t be manufactured because the required items didn’t exist. The build requirements were ~250 ‘Villard Wheels’, an item that had never been seeded into the game. When you invented it into T2, it didn’t even require materials and you could easily build it and finish the tutorial.
However, I had no idea what they were trying to make me do, and gave up while still having the T1 blueprint. Eventually, for whatever reason, CCP used the ‘unobtainable’ items required to build this module in a live event. They are still pretty uncommon, but I got enough of them together to fulfill the build requirements.
I’ve seen a decent number of posts about the tech II variant on these forums and elsewhere, but very few of these even being mentioned. If you’re interested and have an offer, please post here or send me a mail.
