I think that in Spiral Knights the Merchants or Strangers should not randomize the items they sell. It annoys people like me who want to either buy a suit of armor or it's recipe and it's not there in any of the merchants available to sell it except the Action House. The action house yet also does not hold every single item in the game so the item i search for is not there i have to wait a whole day to see if my luck has improved the next day. Then again it happens repeatedly over and over again for about 2 weeks until the item i want is available for the day. I think i should be removed so i can have a better time getting the supplies i need.

I'm done being serious. Time to revel in insanity.

I think you should be removed too (jkjk)

If anything, the Merchants should just have more items available than their current limit.

They only sell about 10 items out of 30 which isn't a whole lot considering there can be multiples.

Whimsicality

The reason the NPCs are randomized in the first place is to encourage players to trade with others. I'm afraid that's something we all have to deal with, regardless of how cool or cruel RNG is.

I actually agree with the OP. The bazaar is easily accessed so it shouldn't be treated as a random reward shop like Basil.
If more players buy from NPC, that's a good thing for the economy. It helps stabilize prices for certain items on the Auction House and sinks more crowns.

Kozma currently does this with energy, but nobody uses energy to get equipment that can be bought with crowns so it's virtually useless.

Yes. Very nice suggestion.

Yup, I am trying to get a shadow blaster recipe, and its is EXTREMELY HARD to get through to the fourth stratum for me. So, I rarely get to see the D13 Basil, and when I do get there, I never get a shadow blaster recipe. DDDDD: I would like that... or at least having a more broad range of recipes.

Second Thought

Actually, having Basil just where he is should be fine.

You could just speedrun the levels in arcade, and then get to the terminal, and then see if you get your recipe. Anyway, this does spark the cooperative aspect of Spiral Knights, but you could still speedrun those levels daily to get the recipe. It isn't that bad, actually, and along with the speedrun, you could also get minerals and goodies from the treasure boxes.
