The post you quoted when you said you buy recipes was specifically talking about Common IOs, so it's reasonable to assume that you were, too.

Assuming that that's the case, you're spending approximately double on the crafting cost alone, and a similar amount to the crafting cost if you buy the recipe from the crafting table or on the market at near-vendor costs. Why wouldn't you get the memorization badge and cut your expenditures by 50-75%?

No thanks. I'm sure yours is bigger, but it really makes no difference which one of us has the bigger stack of Monopoly Money. Not unless you know a way for me to pay my phone bill with Influence. :P

They do accept both those things, but Membranes slotted there because those powers accepts them on that basis will no longer enhance the recharge. That makes doing so a fairly poor choice, because you really do want recharge very much in Mind Link.

In the niches I work the most, I'm already running at margins from 150-2,000+ percent. I'm content with that.

I also dislike badging.

Yes, I did read your post. Did you not say "Yet another HO that serves no purpose now"? To me, that means a HO that can never enhance more than one aspect of a power.
