Which Small BOD's do YOU Flip as singles and do not keep to make large BOD's. This is a question I can never decide on so any help would be great. Tailoring Bods ? Blacksmith Bods ?
if the large reward doesn't get Brazier, Phoenix Armor, Standing Armor, Gold Runic hammer or above, I flip the smalls, If those smalls are plate, I really just set them aside.
good reading for you, will answer most of your questions http://uorforum.com/threads/renaissance-blog-the-bulk-order-reward-review.568/
For Blacksmith: - Iron smalls: weapons, helmets (except plate, see note below), shields. I always prioritize the ones with 80%+ excep. succeed. If I ran out of them, I still flip lower success bods. - Color smalls that don't work for any reward im willing to claim, and/or make me lose time/money. Again, helmets (except plate) shields and armor piece without any worthy prize for their large (for example, dull/shadow ringmail, dull chain, and so) Brazier is my starting point for large color bods. . Note on plate sets: I just dont waste any time with iron plate sets nor their smalls, they are just cub material. Same note on dull x10/x15 plate for example. For Tailoring: I work more on detail with rewards. In this case I organize my tailor bods aiming specific prizes, so I flip the ones I find worthless, for example the ones that fill for Tapestries or Black Dye tub. At a given moment I might want a stretched leather or bear rugs and I happen to fill some for those, but mostly I dont work towards them, so their bods are potential flips. Sometimes I'll flip a small bod that gets me the top tier in special hue cloth. Bones, I dont work on them, and leather I just use the ones I need and keep hoarding the rest. Not even worth filling leather to flip imo.
Thanks for the info all. Has anyone got anything different to this or is this about right for all. Just to tag a few @Plentimon @Salick @Hawkeye @Jill Stihl @hetmasteen @JohnM
Not sure I would call myself an expert, but going off of intuition (not math), here is my approach: I only focus on filling large BODs that produce a CBD or Mask Dye. I realize polar bear rugs and tapestries sell, but I try to keep things as simple as possible. I have my sorting down to the following books: Flips CBD cloth smalls CBD Large BODs Non-exceptional leather Footwear! (10/15 exc.) Dyes CUB - all bone, studded armor, exceptional leather pieces aside from the ones i mention below. As far as flips go, since I am only concerned about CBD and mask dye, i flip all cloth and footwear not 10/15 exceptional. I also flip exceptional gloves, gorgets, sleeves and caps. These leather items I believe have a 100% exceptional chance rate. Again, I never did the math, and I realize leather is expensive, so I am not sure if this is cost-effective. I do it because a friend of mine gifted me like 100k pieces of leather when he sold off his BOD collection to me about a year ago. Saving all your non-exceptional leather will come in handy when you are filling your mask dye bods and are left with 100 non-exceptional pieces studded armor female pieces. You can chose to cut them up to get some spined or horned leather back, or fill a small non-exceptional piece. 6- piece regular leather bods will take a long time to fill, but will also give you CBDs. Before you CUB all your bone and studded BODS, PM @JohnM. He is one of the crazy few that actually fill these I believe. As far as filling my BODs, I know everyone has different approaches, but I am a firm believer in economies of scale, and don't mess with it until i think i can get about 25 CBDs, using my footwear collection as a gauge. Hope this helps! If you want my approach on how I actually go about filling BODs, feel free to reach out to me anytime!
I used to fill large iron ring and chainmail, but now do the following: - Cub all iron plate smalls - Flip all iron and non exceptional coloured ore ring and chain smalls - Flip all other weapon and helmet/shield bods except lower chance items such as spears etc. - fill all coloured ore large bods, including DC plate. Fill non exceptional plate smalls with the failed attempts... Recognise that this may not be optimal (particularly for 10/15 DC plate) but it helped achieve Lord status, a game goal for my crafter. I think I'd now stop with the 10 and 15 DC plate bods in hindsight.... I only have 1 crafter who collects sporadically, so my biggest rewards are the 2 golden runics I've managed. Do not underestimate the ingot requirement for exceptional plate - a 20x lbod will take about 8k, and I don't start until I have 9k. This becomes v painful!
