I think it is the time for the recipes that you learn or buy and consume it to be Account Bond across all characters. one of the reason that happened to me is long time ago I bought a recipe for one of my characters and after a while I stopped playing with that character then deleted it without thinking about the recipe it had, I know its my fault for deleting and should be more careful next time I delete a characters. but what does that mean if I needed a character slot and one of my characters that I don’t play with anymore and want to delete it, but it have an expansive recipe to get and I need that recipe then I will face two solutions either delete the character and let another one level to 400 or 500 might as well say with gold, and buy the expansive recipe again OR buy another character slot from the gem store and let that character just occupy my characters screen for no other reason to craft that item.
I hope I delivered the idea of what am trying to say, thanks for reading.
