Most folks don't venture into the basement wings, in my experience; they just clear the main room and then pull the first little room on each wing if they need more. Don't be afraid to venture into the hallways of the wings as a chanter. Even if you don't need to do so to find stuff to kill, it's good practice to fight in those smaller spaces and get a feel for the respawns in the zone without the safe spot to sit at.
If you get comfortable in the basement, you are already high enough level to handle north as well. Better xp (mobs are level like 43-46 instead of all <45, and there are a few named guys you can actually get a bit of loot or spell drops off of), a safe spot, larger hallways than basement, enough mobs to keep you busy without even pulling the rooms until you're comfortable breaking them, etc.
