Now -in arcade- we can find Basil only at depths 4, 13, and 23. Let's put him in every subtown and in the Core terminal, so there will be less, annoying recipe hunters who quit the expedition at depth 23. (you need to join the party at least two levels before him)
Edit:For people who cant understand it:
YOU NEED TO JOIN TO THE JOIN TO THE PARTY AT LEAST 2 DEPTHS BEFORE THE SUBTOWN. WHICH DEPTHS? AT DEPTHS 6, 16 and 27.
SO, IF YOU ARE GOING TO EMBERLIGHT FROM THE READY ROOM, BASIL WONT SELL FOR ANYTHING.
When I say "annoying recipe hunters" I mean that I (and lot of other people) often have full parties at Emberlight, but at depth 23. everybody leaves.

JOKE SIDE:
The Basil Family... They have one purpose and one purpose only-- To sell recipes to recipe hunters and mesmerize them then tell them to go home.
SERIOUS SIDE:
Then Recipe Hunting would be futile, people would just dive into a subtown, then go out. It's their choice to leave when they've found their recipes. Plus one to the Core Terminal Basil though.
