It would be nice if basil always had at least a couple of 5* recipes in T3. Its incredibly disheartening to get there and see a bunch of 4* garbage that in no way helps my already glacial progress. Or, as an alternative, if he has no 5* at the first meeting, then he could reappear at the core with a few recipes. like, you got unlucky the first go round, but to reward you, if you finish the tier we'll make it up to you.
Bonus suggestion:
It'd be nice if you could purchase a refillable mist tank (say 250CE that lasts for a month, just like a weapon or trinket slot) and then on a night where you didn't feel like playing, you could log on, transfer that nights ME into your tank, and log out, without feeling like you just threw away 100energy/5k crowns. Some nights i don't feel like playing, but i feel "obligated to play" and that detracts from the fun.
especially when combined with the first issue. i dont' feel like playing, i don't want to waste my ME, i guess i'll just make a run down to basil right quick.....nothingn but 4*........well that wasn't much fun.
