A Recipe is an arsenal item that allows the player to produce certain equipment through crafting after it is learned.

Acquisition

Most individual equipment pages on this wiki (should the item have a recipe) will provide recipe acquisition and ingredient information. Many items do not have recipes and/or are not acquired via crafting. Some recipes are built-in to special machines, such as the Mysterious Alchemy Machine, and do not need to be acquired and learned by the player.

There are several ways to acquire recipes. Depending on where they come from, they may or may not be bound. Some recipes can be acquired by:

Purchasing from Basil (in many Rank Mission lobbies and arcade clockwork terminals) - unbound
Purchasing from the Auction House (posted by players) - unbound
Purchasing from Vatel in the Bazaar - unbound
Purchasing from a Hall of Heroes vendor or Sullivan - bound
Earning them as a Rank Mission reward - bound

Some vendors will have variable, limited stock day to day or even minute to minute and player to player. As a rule of thumb, vendors who sell bound recipes will generally have the same (infinite) stock, usually depending on the rank of the player's knight.

The cost of a recipe item depends on the star level of the item the recipe helps to create. Recipe items (of X star level) cost the same no matter which NPC vendor they are purchased from.

Learning

After a recipe is acquired, it can be found in the player's arsenal under the "Recipes" section. Once a recipe is learned, it cannot be unlearned. The associated item can be crafted as many times as desired. Recipes the player has already learned will be moved from the player's arsenal to a known recipe list (default to view is "F5"). The player's knight will not need to learn a recipe more than once.

Notes

Recipe items can be resold to vendors, but this isn't frugal. Vendors buy recipes at a very low crown price. The player may want to remove clutter from inventory, if they accidentally buy a recipe that they have already learned.

The topic of this article or section is subject to personal opinion, and does not represent any one absolute truth. If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing. Don't buy multiple bound recipes from vendors. But... it can be profitable to resell unbound recipes (such as those acquired from Basil) to other players via trade or the Auction House.

Mousehovering over a listed recipe will show the required ingredients as well as the details of the item it will create.

The color of a recipe icon reveals the type of item it pertains to:

Recipe-icon helmet.png - Helmet
Recipe-icon shield.png - Shield
Recipe-icon bomb.png - Bomb
Recipe-icon handgun.png - Handgun
Recipe-icon sword.png - Sword

Most combat gear items require a recipe to be crafted, with numerous exceptions, listed here. There are some unusual items that require recipes, and/or have an unusual recipe. These include:

Grand Solstice Ring - requires two 4* items, instead of just one
Fiendish ID Card - this is a material. It is highly unusual for a material to have a recipe.
