I've recently started to do some T3 Basil runs, but I noticed yesterday that the recipes don't seem to change? I solo'ed to Basil one run, bought a Skolver Cap recipe, then solo'ed to him again, and lo and behold, it's the exact same recipe list, and the Skolver Cap is marked '0'.
Does Basil's recipes at T3 change every time you go down? Or maybe it's limited by your party formation or something? If that's the case, my hunt for my 5* stuff is going to take a loooong time. ._.
Actually, I think that you can only buy a specific recipe from Basil once a day. That way the same person won't buy a dozen Skolver Caps to sell on the AH.
I'd be surprised though if his recipe list was completely unchanged unless it doesn't generate a new party id for you when start your own party in the same gate. Would be worth testing.
Long ago (long before looping fix) my guild tested it. We went solo (multiple times, splitting into 3 parties) before going down to terminal to see if we get different recipes from Basil. The lists were identical.
Seems that the list is decided when you enter the gate.
@Evilnut, OK so this list is set when you start the gate and splits with you, but how long do you have to exit a gate entirely before you will get a fresh list?
hmmm maybe this is another annoying side effect of the anti-looping measures.
I bet switching Gates each run would fix your problem, but that could be problematic if you are just getting into T3 and having to pick the one gate that you think you can make it through stratum 5 on (that was me not long ago).
FYI I still need a ton of 5* recipes, so if you happen to dive after around 6-7pm server time feel free to hit me up if you want to do some T3 Basil runs.
