Why is Basil not selling the recipes I need?

According to the wiki, the recipe for the dusker helm/armor and boosted plate shield are all sold by basil, but I never see them in his stock.

What Dark Ritual?
Sadly, it'd randomized and he may not have what you want every single time.

^ As above.
Each time you
^ As above.
Each time you reach Basil, the recipe list is randomised. You also have to have cleared at least two depths, or you won't get anything - if you join a game in the floor before the terminal, you won't get any recipes at Basil.
Basil only stocks certain recipes based on tier - in tier 1, he only has 1 and 2 star recipes, in tier 2 he has 2, 3 and 4 star recipes, and in tier 3 he has 4 and 5 star recipes. If you're trying to get a Dusker recipe in tier 1 or 3, you won't ever see it.
The recipe vendor in Haven randomises once per day, at I believe midnight PST. That one only sells 1 and 2* recipes, though.

Basil will have the recipes you need... when you don't have enough crowns. :P
I sold several hundreds of CE because of that. >_<

Well this gives the recipes have a degree of rarity, creating an economy for them...

I sell recipes too. :D
I'm just saying "all recipes available all the time" is kind of crappy... even if Basil is an evil douchebag...
For the record, I have never EVER found a Polaris recipe on Basil. Yet I have sold already 20's of Vog sovenirs...

Well the recipe you see are
Well the recipe you see are a lot more expensive in ah than basil price because that recipe is a bit rare from basil.in fact I only saw 2 cold iron carver recipes from basil before.usually when you want to get a recipe,start a party so you can be able to buy all his recipes.I usually do tier 2 basil runs and see what I can find.I got my dusker coat recipe on the day I was hoping for one from basil.basil sometimes can be nice XD.
