Like it said in the subject... a few months back I bought the Divine Mantel recipe in anticipation of having enough energy to make it but I got busy and forgot about spiral knights for a while until last month where I saved up enough money and then... bought it again because I forgot I already had it. I realize this is completely my fault and figure some sort of penalty is in order, but 25k cr seems a bit steep. Were the recipe not bound I could attempt to resell it for a lower price or if I could outright sell it for half its price I would, but my only option to get rid of it as is involved selling it for 50 cr which just isn't worth it.

Is there any way around this? Is it feasible to appeal to a higher power?
