We need the BOD System Fixed!

[Dramoor]

So while you are all discussing T-Map Upgrades. I think you should consider fixing the BOD System. The Carpentry System is broken even the wiki shows it. Some times you turn in and get no reward. I understand we don't have "nails" here and what not but why should the people working hard on their BODS be subject to no reward at all.

Here are some bugs I have found that should be looked into fixing if anyone else knows others please chime in! Let's get these bods on par and fixed!

1. "Nails" are not an item here/used here, but nothing was put in to replace said item in the bod system sometimes often yielding in no reward from some large bods that can take time to do.

2. BOD Books for the Carpentry system do not show "Large" or "Medium" for the crates they only show the small crates. So to sort or check you have to waste more time fiddling them around when that is part of the point of a bod book.

3. BOD Books for the Carpentry system again do not show Tambourine with tassel or without.

4. Tambourine BOD with Tassel and without do not show if they are even in normal BOD form. Making you literally have to open the bods each time to see what they are.

As I said, these are some pretty easy fixed that would take literally 10 to 15 minutes to fix. I figure if we can get all the bod system problems setup into one spot and post. Maybe we can get +Colibri to spend the minimal time in fixing the problems.

Post any other BOD Problems/bugs you have seen!

+5 crafting gorgets.. do they ever drop at all?

From what I have learned and others is that it seems to every month to 3 mos change the items it gives, usually on a 2 possibly a 3rd item. so every few mos you can possibly get and fill a suit. Doesn't really make sense to me that way. But hey, at least you get those items! On about 5 diff times I have turned in bods when i was newer to get NO return, some of those with lots of time put into getting the bods/ crafting them. Very Upsetting especially when you are new and do not know about it.

I gave away awhile back 3 full Bod books of Carpentry bods because I didn't want to waste time sorting them/ crafting them to get nothing when I turned them in!.

With the numerous server restarts in the last quarter of 2013, I was able to do some research on the crafting armor randomization. Sure enough, every time the server was restarted, the BOD reward armor piece changed for the given value of BOD turned in. Of course, sometimes this resulted in the same piece twice in a row, but with random chance that happens. As an example:

xxxxxxxxxxxxx 10/26 11/22 12/1 12/6 12/14 12/22
x Carp 200-399 Arms xxxx xxxx Legs Tunic Arms
Fletch 200-399 Tunic Cap Arms Arms Legs Legs

These are the only 2 ranges that I had an abundance of BODs filled to collect data on, but the smattering of others I got confirms the pattern. In every case, a new armor type did not occur in any given point range until a server restart, and occasionally, as luck would have it, the new "random" armor piece was the same as the old, but only for that point range.

While I would not be unhappy to see the reward system updated to allow for true randomization, I would be just as happy with a weekly server restart so that I can try for the pieces I am missing (and while I have the masters gorgets of Fletching & LJ, the others do seem crazily elusive...).

Might as well also add that 2-piece large carp BODS give the same monetary reward as either of the pieces that went into it. In all other cases a large BOD gives more $ than the smalls that make it. As it stands, 2-piece large carp BODs can be safely thrown away as worth less that the sum of the 2 smalls that make them.

There also seem to be a disproportionate number of colored Carp large BODs compared to small ones (instruments are a prime example). I think I have 50 larges for most given wood types, but only 2-3 of the smalls for them.

I agree 100%. Pretty much every single complaint listed above is why I quit doing bods. Would be nice to have something worthwhile doing again. Forget the T-maps, let's aim for this stuff first.

Bump, only takes 10 minutes literally to fix come on guys lets get it done!

We are aware this needs to be looked at, hopefully a quick fix for the near future, and looked at more thoroughly after the new facet needs are finished.

[Dramoor]

And I will bump it until its importance is recognized

I spend the majority of my online time collecting and filling bods i really wish these fixes moved up the priority list, we've had what 3? or 4 dungeon reworks in just the last year.... yet the same broken bod system has been in existence since i started here over 3 years ago....

JollyTamer,
I have been revamping the dungeons and adding new content, but I am not able to modify scripts or I would have happily fixed these already. The new content and BOD issues are apples and oranges, it's not a matter of me prioritizing them or not.
