How many BODs...
Before you say thats enough?
Since you get 1 BOD back per a turn in theres probably a number of BODs where you can stop?
Or are there other reasons to keep going? I guess selling them to others?

And these don't take up spots in a house, correct?
I like some of the systems like Alchemy where there aren't that many bods. Tinkering is just stupid. There are way way too many bods and many that can't go beyond iron or normal made and all the jewelry ones are just throwaways. Whomever created the tinkering system should be fired. You just needed a handful of weapon ones and then a few large ones like the spoons or filling a collection of small weapon bods. There are litterally like 100 different tinker bods. Carpentry is a bit crazy too. Way to many smalls. Some of those furniture ones are 60 boards a piece. Doing 20 ex bloodwood armoire at GM carpentry and talisman still spends about 750-1000 boards to do one bod. Thats crazy.
Ok, off my soap box. Its a system that went off the deep end and is way more complex then it needed to be. Simplfy. Make it more fun. Not a tedium of managing tens of thousands of bods.
To answer the earlier question I have one keep full of vendors with nothing but bods. I don't want to do it but it is what it is. IF bod books took 1 lockdown like a book of 300 powerscrolls - I would not need the vendors. Its a simple change they could implement. It would remove so many vendors from the UO world.
Just need 1 book for each type armor. BODS quit being a puzzle when Bribing was introduced.
Get with the 2020s.
but there are days when I do nothing but fill the small ones
(between collecting tokens and cookind BODs, my days are filled lately)
(blacksmith and tailor BODs are next)
Its just that when the DEVs give us all these events back to back
that we don't have time to do the BODs.
this down time, between events has given me an opportunity
to work up BODs for the Artisan Festival
==========
I agree with the others,
that if they made them worth 1 lockdown
I wouldn't need to store them on vendors
And I could store them with the items that go into them
(Cooking items that is)

This explains the Artisan festival
But I can give you a simple answer.
If the tree has a star on top,
when the bag appears next to the elf
everyone who turns in a BOD, gets a gift
when they click on the bag
red vice item for bad karma
green virtue item for good karma
the newest items are the stained glass window
and the foldable blanket
I wonder, if the Developers are aware of the existance of the word "tediousness" in the Dictionary....
I understand that, probably, the need to have the materials be in a character's backpack were forced to discourage scripters.... too bad, that scripts CAN handle the moving of materials back and forth a container to a character's main backpack....
Therefore, such a requirement (to have the materials in a character's main backpack), only aggravates players who play regularly, without scripting.... players who use Third Party script programs, have a laugh at it and script if anyways....
How many restrictions I have seen (random resources is only one among several that come to mind...) done by the Developers, I imagine to hurt scripters which, instead, ended up hurting regular players who do not script, and leaving players who use scripts having a laugh at those restrictions, since they just script unattended and, therefore, all that "extra" time required, all of the clicking and dragging, does not involve them as it is done by an automated BOT not by them "in person"....
So, at this point, WHY NOT make such a crafting machine available to ALL players and be done with scripters always having it easier, thanking to using their scripts ?
One could "dump" all of their resources into such a Crafting Machine, locked down in their Home and then, when they need to fill a small BOD, just get to the machine, open up the BOD, click the button "make", and the required items would be done and put in the BOD.
No hassles, no moving of resources from containers to one's own main backpack, no clicking and moving no more, just a 1 click does it all, wonderfull and relaxing play.....
Now, this would be a crafters' friendly item....... and scripters would no longer have such an edge, at least, when it comes to crafting "clicking and dragging".........
Just a thought.........
Or filling larges by targeting the book, like it says "from the container"....
I did my gm cook with just fish. Guess that was wrong way since it takes more than 50k fish just for one gm cook.
Amber Witch, I am impressed with Baja and am counting my BODs to give you some of my surplus.
I play on Atlantic.
