Basil

Basil, Traveling Merchant

Description

Basil is a Stranger merchant. Unlike most Strangers, he ventures into the Clockworks and can be found throughout, selling wares to knights.

He sells a list of recipes which is randomly created for each adventuring party when they go down from Haven; his inventory is different at every visit, even at the same depth or terminal. Basil used to sell wares at various levels throughout the Clockworks, but is now found at Clockwork Terminals and Mission lobbies. All knights in an adventuring party will be offered the same recipe list.

Locations

Basil is always found at the midway points of each tier, known as Clockwork Terminals. Terminals are located at depths 4, 13, and 23. He can also be found in Mission lobbies containing a fixed set of recipes for each mission.

Inventory

Clockworks

In the Clockworks, Basil offers 1- and 2-star recipes in Tier 1; 2-, 3-, and 4-star recipes in Tier 2; and 4- and 5-star recipes in Tier 3. The content of the recipe list varies, as does the size of the recipe list offered: Basil has been observed to offer between six and twenty-five recipes at a time. The type and size of the inventory appears to be completely random, but Basil will have at least one recipe with the highest star rating for that tier (2-star for tier 1; 4-star for tier 2; 5-star for tier 3). Below is a table listing the prices of each recipe by its star rating.

Recipes

While many recipes are available from Hall of Heroes or other vendors, there are a number of recipes available only from Basil. These include recipes for items on alchemy paths originating from boss-dropped tokens and all 3-star "breaker" series recipes (such as Blazebreak Armor, Surge Breaker Shield, etc). Note that while the "breaker" items, Searing Edge and Shocking Edge are available from Bazaar vendors, the recipes are not.
