One thing confuses me. If I want to craft for example Super blast bomb do I need to have Blast bomb (item) + recipe for Super blast bomb , or do I need to have a recipe for blast bomb too ?
Also I would like to know where can I get lvl 3 recipes? Probably below lvl 8 at vendors I presume?
Ok and one more noob question , because I don't want to open a new topic. I keep reading of charge attacks on weapons. How do you use charge attacks ? I have a Calibur and I haven't noticed any special attack but 3 strikes in a row.
tnx-still a newb, but learning fast :P

TY, you have explained
TY, you have explained everything I needed to know. Yes I have been reading articles on wiky but you can't really find answers to my questions on it.
IMO, this game is great but really need some better ingame tutorial or something. But I guess ,it's still new- plenty of time for improvement.
As for the charge attacks clicking attack and holding down the attack button will "charge" the weapon. You will hear a noise that revs up until it "clinks." The charge is ready when you hear the click and see a visual green glow around your character. Release the attack button to use the charge attack. Taking damage will reset the timer on the charge for most/all weapons. As far as I know every weapon (sword/gun/bomb) has a charge attack.
Crafting alchemy paths does require the previous item though not (necessarily) the previous recipe. For instance, if you have a Blast bomb item and want to craft a Super Blast bomb you will only need the Super Blast bomb recipe. If you do not have a blast bomb, then you will need to buy the recipe and craft the blast bomb. Once you have the blast bomb you can then craft the upgraded version.
Anything you want to personally craft you WILL have to buy and then "use" the recipe before you can craft.
Also, you should note that certain items required leveled up version of the previous item to craft. For instance A vile striker requires a level 5+ version of the striker sword. Meaning you personally have to level a striker up to or beyond level 5 before you can craft a vile striker. This holds true for almost all recipes. An exception would be the Stone Tortoise Shell shield. Which begins its alchemy path at the 4* version and has no prior recipes/items in its path.
A great place to view alchemy paths/crafting requirements is the Spiral Knights wiki page. Which can be viewed here... http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Main_Page
Hope this helps.
