BasilMarket is a fan-made revival of the classic community site, built and run in spare time. The item, monster, map, skill, quest, and crafting database, the market and price history, the training spot finder, the character builder, the forum, and the phone app are all free for every player, and that is not going to change.
Tips go straight to the bills that keep it online: hosting, the domain, and the Discord bot. If the site has helped you find a training spot, price an item, or close a trade, and you feel like chipping in, thank you.
Put your BasilMarket username in the Ko-fi message and the badge shows up on your profile and next to your forum posts automatically, usually within a minute. Forgot to add it, or used a different name? Send a DM to a staff member with your Ko-fi name and they will link it for you.
The badge is a thank-you, nothing more. It does not change what you can do on the site, and supporters follow the same rules as everyone else.
Report monster drops and meso ranges, keep the market honest with fair ratings, answer questions on the forum, and tell other Maplers about the site. That keeps BasilMarket useful in ways money cannot.
