Can I craft the same badge twice?

So just recently (Only today actaully) I've decided to start using my badges, and for a few games I bought the missing bages and crafted them all to get the coupons, and wall papers and chat emotes, as it should be, but I'm wondering, if I do that, then buy all the badges again and craft them for the same game, will I get a different wall paper for that game, and a new coupon?

Also, whileI'm here I should ask, first do you think spending a few pence on badges and crafting them is a good thing to do, and also what shall I do with the coupons I don't want? Where shall I trade them? (Can't find the trade fourms for some reason xD)

Yes you can. You can craft a badge until it reaches it's limit which is 500 xp.

Wait, the badges have xp? I got 100xp for crafting a badge, so does that mean I may craft it 5 times? I do I get different things each time?

Yup, 5 levels per badge at 100 xp per level or a foil badge which is 1 level for 100 xp. You get stuff every time you craft a badge but it's random - if a badge has 5 backgrounds it can drop then you could get all 5 or you could get 5 of the same background or any mix of them.

It makes your badges look different and usually better, too.

There is even a guide on how to level up. You can read it if you want to.

True. Except for the community service badge which is worth 50 xp.

Foil badges for games can only be done ONCE, standard badges for games can be done FIVE times.

The only exception to this rule is during the summer and winter sales where they can be crafted unlimited amount of times for both standard and foil
