BOD Rewards (new ideas)

Post by Cyrddin »

Hello,

I have been looking in the forums and noticed colibri has made a few posts about getting ideas for different rewards.
If we get enough ideas I will even redo the script and submit it to him. (if he does not do it himself) :nod:

Many crafter's have many ideas of what would be cool as rewards.

So post them here, Please post what category the reward would be in.



--------------------IDEAS SO FAR---------------------------
By Brotherwolf:

Lower rate of Colored Looms for the low end bods.
The only bods that give colored looms are: 10-50 point bods.
What we could do lower the chance to 33% of getting a colored loom.
Then we add 15 normal leather as one of the 33%.
So the table would look like this.

0 point:
33% cloth 1
33% colored loom
33% 15 normal leather

50 point:

33% cloth 2
33% colored loom
33% 15 normal leather

------------------------------------------------
By Melkor:

Remove runic saws. Replace with deco.

My first idea so far would be not so many colored looms for the low end tailor bods. I must have a giant bag full of these things.

I think I agree with this.... The looms are a must to some people. But if we set it to 25-33% to get one it would be nice. Maybe putting 15 normal leather as a reward in these small bods. (nothing really profitable) it is a 0-50 point item.

For Carpentry, the Runic Saws need to go. They are useless. To replace, maybe some deco, even if its not as cool as the bone stuff, but turning in a petri BOD and getting a saw you might as well through in the garbage is so disappointing.

I def. agree that more deco items (esp for carp) would be awesome. Saws are kind of meh and a lot of the other bod systems rewards are really not enticing.

I remember seeing an actual list with underlined changes, was that post removed/edited or is it that i cant find it? I know with doing bods there's a chance you will get something that's not really worth doing it, this is mainly with the carpentry ones.

Love the sounds of Druid deco. Love the moving down of the runic saws.

Only feedback i have is, I think 500 points is too low for the evil and druid deco. Right now you need a high end large or a small petri just to have a chance at the Evil deco. Now i think that may be a bit too hard. I don't have a number, but i don't think these items should be obtainable at all by a plain wood BOD. Perhaps it should be medium wood type larges or the top three rare wood for smalls get you a chance at an evil or druid item. If its set for only 500 points, these items will quickly become common.

FYI--> that being said, i'd still take the proposed new system over the old, but i wanted to add my 2 cents.

Thanks for your work on this.

I completely agree, to note though currently you do have a chance to get evil decoration at 500 points so I am not going to put a change on that, but I am going to remove the druid decoration from that.


I just edited it so now your first chance to getting a druid is at 700 points.

Hello,

Just to let everyone know we are just just working on carpentry, Yes carpentry is on top of the list but others are following soon. Please send in all ideas you can think of so we can get started with them.

After we finish one list I will get started on the next one. I think we are currently almost done with the Carpentry list, so we will be starting the blacksmith list shortly.

1. :arrow: Carpentry

2. Blacksmith

3. Tailoring

4. Taming

5. Fletching


PLEASE SEND IN ANY IDEAS YOU CAN THINK OF!!

According to the Wiki, at 500 currently you get a chance at "Decorative item". "Evil Decorative item" chances currently start at 900 points. For the future, i think 700 is a good point for both to start at.

From the wiki:

* Decorative Items: Vise, Unfinished Chair, Unfinished Chest, Unfinished Shelves, Unfinished Gravestone
** Evil Decorative Items: Bone Table, Bone Throne, Bed of Nails (East and South), Bone Couch (E and S), Sacrificial Altar (E and S), Stone Coffin (E and S)

I noticed you left out the "Decorative item" which i think is okay because they don't souond all that exciting.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this.

Remember that on carpentry BODs, the Nails have to be removed or replaced. They do not exist on the shard and when you were supposed to get one as a reward, you end up getting no reward. This problem was brought up on another thread.
