Part of the standard layout for Crafted items is the inclusion of the following note under the Alchemy Ingredient table:
"Note: When crafting using a bound item as a precursor, the upgraded item will also be bound"
I have observed this note added to items that have no precursor to make them, nor are themselves not a precursor to some other crafted item.
Should this note be removed from items that do not require a precursor or are not precursors themselves?
Frost Gun is an example...
