Kasparov rewards you with a random relic recipe when you complete Hargrave’s Lab quest.
Never have I ever gotten a recipe from Kasparov which I didn’t already know.
Please give him logic to reward with unknown recipes only. Treasure troves seem like they already have this logic; if that’s correct it should be easy enough to reuse that code.
Should be posted in ideas and feedback, probably a better chance the right people see it there 
That being said I agree. After getting all the items on softcore I’m journeying through hardcore now and this jackass never gives me anything useful. I think the forgotten passage quest in the arkovian undercity is guilty of the same thing? Not 100% on that part. Guess they both draw from a limited pool of recipes
Too easy to save-scum, even moreso than the final quest, since Blueprints are global and not tied to characters.
While I do agree with that I reckon people who want to cheat formulas/legendaries probably download gdsidekick or the trainer. I’d imagine most of them do that instead of spam loading saves that sounds tilting and slowww
Honestly, the only change I want is for higher difficulty relic recipe rewards to actually be… lategame relics. Not another level 25 relic BP.
What a lame argument, Ceno 
Those who want to do that (save-scum) will do that anyway but those who play full legit should get a relevant reward for that quest.
Just pointing it out, as the final quest rewards were modified so as to counter save-scumming, so it is a consideration for Crate when they implement such changes.

I think all quests, which reward you with a relic blueprint, work this way (can only think of the one in the Arkovian Undercity), and you might get a blueprint you already know. I am under the impression, that you only get blueprints for basic Empowered Relics.
If Crate applied the no-duplicates logic to quest rewards, you would eventually do not receive blueprints anymore. When I played with a friend the other day, who is new to the game, I handed my reward over to him. That would not be possible, if there where no duplicates.
In the first place your friend might not have needed that BP if there were no duplicates in GD. It is more fun to find items on your own while playing
