I've got a bit of an annoyance right now. Right now, the list of recipes Basil has in the terminals is completely random. This results in me entering gate after gate just to find a Twisted Snarble Barb recipe. This got me thinking.
What if the list of recipes depended on the equipment in your arsenal? I mean, you'd get an increased chance of finding a recipe relevant to items you have. For example, if you had a Brandish, you'd get an increased chance of finding a Nightblade, Iceburst Brandish, or Fireburst Brandish recipe.
It'd also depend on your item's level. For instance, a level 1 Skelly Shield might get just a 1% increase of finding a Scary Skelly Shield recipe, but a level 10 Skelly Shield would give a 10% increase in finding the same.
It could also increase chances of finding later recipes in the path, like, if you have a level 5 Toxic Vaporizer, you'd have a 5% chance of finding a Toxic Vaporizer Mk II recipe, a 2.5% chance of finding a Toxic Atomizer recipe, and a 1.25% chance of finding a Venom Veiler.
