I read some threads on popularizing the arcade. And I have my own idea of how to popularize it.So my solution is simple. Since most people go to arcade for recipes, why not make recipes basil sell cheaper... So instead of 4kcr for a 3* recipe why not make it only 3kcr... Either that or making recipes in the hall of heroes. This not only (hopefuly) popularizes the arcade, it also brings the spirit of recipe hunting back.

Of course, this is just a suggestion... Feel free to comment, vote for, or shoot down this thread

Peace :D

First off, people would only play the first half to get basil, but not the rest.

Then, you may save a little money for the recipes you need, but thats it. Once you craft them, bye bye.(1k difference isnt enoguh to resell them and get profit).

Last, missions still give lots of crowns, negelcting any dsicount. It's better to repeat Vanduke, get rich and go to HoH, than recipe hunting and winning little money (also, since basil has random recipes, there's a chance that you wont get what you want, making it even lees appealing overall).

Perhaps upping the odds of boss token recipes being in Basil's inventory would help more than a slight discount on other stuff - after all, ¢1k isn't really much to a T2 player, and T3 players don't even regard it as an amount of money.

well...

I gave 2 options. Either making recipes basil sell cheaper or recipes in HoH more expensive. The 1k difference is just an example... They could double the prices the HoH sell so that basil's recipe will be significantly cheaper enough that people would rather go to him to buy recipes than going to the HoH. I mean, 50k for a 5* recipe SHOULD drive people to go buy the more cheaper 25k recipes from basil.

Of course this is just a suggestion. Feel free to comment, vote for, or shoot down this thread

"making recipes basil sell cheaper or recipes in HoH more expensive"

Making a crown sink eat up less crowns would be bad for energy prices, making them higher. Which is bad.

Making something which already exists more expensive, especially after how long it has been in existence, would receive similar acceptance as the Seerus bomb nerf. Which was awful.

If you are not going to come up with an actual solution than nothing of value is said, but you are taking up space where a thread such as this could be.
