Recipe
From SpiralKnights
A Recipe is an arsenal item that allows the player to produce certain equipment through crafting.
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 - more information in the notes section. Some recipes are "built in" to special machines, like 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 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 your 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 your arsenal under the "Recipes" section. Once a recipe is learned, it is essentially bound, and the associated item may be crafted as many times as desired. Recipes cannot be unlearned. Recipes you have already learned will be moved from your arsenal to your "Recipes" list (default to view is "F5"). Your knight will not need to learn a recipe more than once.
Notes
Mousehovering over a listed recipe will show the required ingredients as well as the details of the item it will create.
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. 
Don't buy multiple bound recipes from vendors. But... it can be profitable to resell unbound recipes (from Basil) to other players via trade or the Auction House.
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.
History
release 2013-08-21: Recipes for certain Fire Crystals were added to the game as rewards for certain rank missions. Any knight that had already completed the required missions received these recipes in the mail.
release 2013-10-23: An animation now plays when the player learns a recipe. It features rotating gears, a brief sound effect, and a recipe icon.
