my sprite reached the end of level 14 and i had to evolve him or whatever and i assumed an "evo catalyst" would be a total pain to acquire knowing spiral knights, so i went straight to the energy depot and spent 16k for 200e and bought one. then when i went to my inventory to evolve him i realized somehow i had already had one, and i just spent 16k for nothing. in a fit of rage i clicked evolve anyway
it gets worse
i got an idea that i could sell the spare evo catalyst in the auction house and maybe i could even get profit. when i looked back in my inventory, i realized i consumed the evo that wasn't bound to me.
now at this point i slammed my laptop closed and ran around the house like a psycho, and after calming myself down i remembered i could possibly unbind the spare evo with the remaining energy i had leftover
but no, evo catalysts arent even unbindeable. long story short, i punched a hole into the wall and disabled my ceiling light switch, and now i have to get THAT fixed. great job three rings, you really did it this time
You made that mistake again, not looking at screens. You got one from a boss mission reward (Snarby), but didn't look at the reward screen.
Don't worry. Later on you can get a second sprite. You can give it to that one. You probably won't get another sprite any time soon, but you can. (So your evo isn't completely useless...)
