BOD acquisition bug?

Post by Machete »

Hey there,

I'm not sure this is a bug or game mechanics, so I'm trying here first:

I've been 120 bowcrafter for roughly 2 weeks, and since then I've been getting about 80% plain (non-colored) wood type BODs. Naturally, I'm wondering why that is, because the chance to get colored BODs is supposed to go UP with skill, not down. On average I get 4-5 BODs per day, and usually at most 1 of them is colored, sometimes even none at all. If this happens on just one day I consider it a statistical fluke, but by now (after 2 weeks), the numbers are beyond that. Is there something going on I'm not aware of (like a BOD dept system that apparently exists on abcuo, according to google), or might there be a bug hiding somewhere?

Best regards,
Machete

I'm not sure about the "Bug" but I have the same issue. To counter this issue I fill the "Plain" BoDs and trade them in for new ones until I get a "good" one. When you turn in a BoD it resets the timer on waiting to get another BoD so you can get new BoDs as fast as you can fill and turn in ones you don't wan't.
I hope this helps. I just found out about it yesterday and I have been going BoD crazy because I have like 300 junk bods. I have been filling them and trading them in and have gotten quite a nice collection now :]

It is pretty common to get alot of "non-colored" bods, Ive collected for years now and its never really changed although i have noticed that my alts (ea w/ 100 in crafting skills and not 120 like my main char.) have been getting alot less exceptional bods but whether or not they are colored hasnt changed one bit. :P
