Talk:Basil

Has Basil been entirely moved from the Clockworks? Or is he hiding in different levels that he used to...--Dwyn 09:08, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Good question. Back near the end of Preview, I visited Low Gardens and Cravat Hall II. Never saw him there. I haven't been to those levels during OB, though. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone. Maget 21:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

recipe star-level distribution

I've noticed that the more crowns I have on me at the time I first transact with Basil when I find him, the more higher-star-level recipes he seems to have for sale. One time I talked to him (all these cases are on level 12) while holding over 30k crowns, and his stock was mostly 4* recipes, with a small amount of 2* and 3* ones. The next time I was holding around 12k crowns (and had about 12k crowns in buy bids on the energy market), and he had mostly 2* recipes with a smaller number of 3* and 4* recipes. The most recent time, I was holding a bit over 20k crowns and he had about equal numbers of all recipes (six 2*, four 3*, seven 4*).

Perhaps this is just a coincidence, and more trials will show there to be no correlation, but I thought it was worth noting. All three times I was adventuring solo.--Scrotch 01:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
