yes, i need a 20 blaze chain leg exceptional Small bod, if you have or get one would you please PM me a price for it?
I have over 500 Smith bods not counting iron, and I cannot fill even one of the 70 plus large bods i have, so am looking to start trading in hopes of being able to start filling some good bods... thx!

after six months of asking i finally got the leg bod!!! and got a verite hammer.......... amazing how you can go from ecstatic to totally ticked off.. one reward is worth more than your total net worth, the other goes into the garbage and you go back to the drawing board.
I will continue to fill out iron bods in the hopes of putting together good bod sets, so PM me if you need something and we will try to work out a trade.
if you have a bunch of iron bods laying baout you dont want I would be interested in buying them as well!!!

I made the trade with KnitePrince, but I got lucky and got the +5 gear for my reward. This has been brought up on several other forum postings in the last few weeks, that the rewards for the BODs seem to be not entirely balanced. After 9 months of trying, I finally get a set together and I get the +5 gear, but there is a 50% chance to get something that I can't even give away except to the newbie bin. Some tweaks to the BOD rewards are really needed to make it worth the effort to collect for 6 or 9 months just for one chance.

Aye!! While i agree that getting the good rewards should be difficult, i would like to see the lesser rewards be ... even if only slightly so... better than junk... As posted, months and months of struggle to get something that is barely worth your time to carry to the garbage can is not only painful, but degrades the value of even trying to get the good stuff, and also degrades the desire to play.
things that have been changed, that degrade the playability even further make it harder and harder to retain interest in the game.

the random drop of smithing bods is borked.. ( i reported this exact thing over 8 months ago ) just doing 20 iron plate bods trying to convert them to colored.. you only get ONE type of drop..(not counting the sturdy pick, just the 10% chance for armor of crafting) in my case, when i get the +1 armor of crafting, 99.7% of the 10% chance, its a Tunic. This makes trying to piece together sets to sell totally impossible.. were not even going to talk about doing +3 sets.. of god forbid +5 sets..

i could go on about several little aggravating borked things, but they have all been covered in other posts, just as this topic has, but my point is, this is supposed to be fun... all of these little things adding up detract from the fun.. ppl start to get aggravated with the little things, then they blow up and rant... or worse, they just move on to another shard or another game.. Unfortunately, i have played other shards, and know there are few.. if any, as good as this one.. i only take the time to post these things, because i would like to see this one even better.
