Might as well.... wouldn't want people to end up buying a 5* cobalt helm recipe when they'll be given the recipe in 3 missions.
If not entirely, remove it from all but basil's lists... in case selling it for a profit if you don't want it is supposed to be legitimate. That way, there won't be people going out and buying it from the HoH.
Either this, or boost the cr value of autoselling recipes.
I splashed out on Shadow Driver and Plasma Capacitor recipes when I was doing Vanaduke runs, costing me a total of 20k cr (enough to get a UV on an item) since I went to the trouble of going down to Basil myself, rather than paying an extra 2k markup on them.
And now they're mission rewards which I could have gotten for free.
FUUUUU-
So yeah. Although I wouldn't recommend removing the rewards as purchasable recipes completely, because some people will want to craft a Shadow Driver when they're still t2 and so forth, it would be nice to be able to get back more than 1% of what I actually paid. (That's 100cr on a 4* recipe, by the way. I'm not sure what the current vendor value is for 4* recipes right now.)
+1
The mission rewards have me second-guessing every recipe purchase I make now - "Will they offer this as a reward in the next mission pack? Am I wasting my crowns by buying it now?"
It does seem odd that Cobalt Knight Jorin is selling stuff that, if you've reached that level Hall Of Heroes, you likely already got for free.
(Especially Kozma's old 5-star recipe offerings, which are the reward for the tremendously challenging mission of talking to Lt. Feron! At least the 3 and 4-star ones you had to complete combat missions to get.)
It's also a little odd that Specialist Zebulon mentions "a sword that smites the undead" but then only Jorin has the Cold Iron line recipes...
While we're grumbling about the Hall, it would also be nice to have an alchemy machine in there, so you could go shopping for recipes, build what you needed to fill the gaps in your kit and complete the Star Certification mission right there, instead of having to wait through two extra load screens because you had to go find a darn alchemy machine.
You know, like the ones right next to the old Spiral Wardens? :P
