Copies. so you can't do anything but manufacture and invent (if there's a t2 version) from them.

Hi Kestutis Fujika

Original Blueprints are only seeded into the game through the market, sold at a fixed price by NPCs.

As Steve Ronuken already said, the blueprints you find at exploration sites, or from NPC wrecks in general, will always be copies.
Usually the item the blueprint is for will be a faction item, which means, it has no tech 2 version. Invention will therefore not be possible on the blueprint copy, and you will only be able to use the blueprint for manufacturing.

Keep in mind these rare items are already more valuable due to the difficulty obtaining the blueprint copies, which means you will still be able to make a decent profit, even without doing any research on the blueprint first.

If you are looking for more information on the research aspect of the game, check out Research and Manufacturing on the Evelopedia.

Unresearched (ME0/PE0) BPOs can be obtained from NPC sellers on the regular market. Use Eve-Central to locate a particular blueprint you're interested in, the location where they're sold varies from BPO to BPO.

Researched BPOs can only be bought from other players via the contract system.

BPOs are just bought off the market, for unresearched ones. They tend to be available in the empire that would use them most. So if you were looking for projectile weapom blueprints, Minmatar space would work.

If you want one preresearched, take a look at contracts. You'll probably have to visit one of the Trade hubs to pick it up, but you can look at them from anywhere.

Did you actually read Etetia's post above yours:

[quote]Original Blueprints are only seeded into the game through the market, sold at a fixed price by NPCs.[quote]

Etetia means unresearched BPOs

For research you have to go into the contracts and search them.

They don't exist. Faction BPC only.
