What's the deal with invention badges?

I made nine level 25 regular +Damage IOs, and the progress meter only jumped once.

Likewise, I made three more today and it didn't jump at all. Right now it's standing at 8 out of 17 complete.

Is there some kind of hidden requirement or is this bugged to hell?

EDIT: Welp, the badge says "and", not "or". I see why I'm stuck halfway now...

You need to make half 25 and HALF 30 to get the badge. Same for all the levels except 10

Protector Server
Woeful Knight (BS/Regen/Body Scrapper)
Kevin Christian (MC/FF/Primal Controller)
SilverCybernaut (Eng/Dev/Munitions Blaster)
Apixie OhNo (Fire/Fire/Pyre Tanker)
Y'ru Glowen (Rad/Rad/Psy Defender)

Yep, that's the problem. When the meter stops moving, time to make another level of IO that counts towards the same badge.

Regardless, thanks for the quick replies.

Hi,

and the odd number one can be a 25 or 30.

Edit to add: The damage badge for 25-30 is "Warhead" and actually requires 8 at 25 and 8 at 30 and one other at either level. (You can also craft Knockback IO's that count as well.)

I suspect that you have to get two sets of 8 before it will then count the 17th one other? Whether it will then automatically take one of the extra's you have already created or require you to do one more you will find out when you have crafted number 8 of the level 30 set.

If you make the 9th lvl 25 IO before you make all 8 lvl 30 IOs, then the counter will not move - but you still get credit for it. When you then craft the 8th lvl 30, the counter will then jump from 15 of 17 to complete.

Basically, the "odd" or "extra" IO in an odd numbered group like this doesn't move the counter, even though it does count for the badge - unless you craft it last.
