History

Bulk Order Deeds (commonly abbreviated as BOD) were introduced for the Blacksmith skill on November 30, 2001. The concept behind it was to create a system in which crafters could make goods for NPCs and get rewards. It was originally intended that all craft skills would eventually see BODs. But after the addition of Tailor BODs in Publish 16, the development team decided the system was not performing as originally intended. It is unclear whether BODs will ever be added for another craft skill. See also, Publish 19 - Bulk Order Books.

Overview

In order to get a BOD, you must have at least 0.1 in the required skill. To receive one you go up to the proper NPC and open a contextual menu. Select the get BOD now option. If it is time you to receive a BOD a gump will appear detailing what the NPC wants you to make, how many of the desired item, and any special requirements. You can either decline or accept the order. If it is not time for you to receive a BOD, the NPC will tell you so with the remaining time in minutes

Obtaining Bulk Order Deeds

  • NPCs will now allow cache up to 3 bulk order deeds for players
  • All BODs are limited to one every six hours; this is no longer dependent on crafting skill level
  • The system will “cache” up to 18 hours worth of BOD give outs
  • Players may claim all 3 deeds in quick succession
  • Turning in a BOD adds a new deed to the cache (up to 3)
    * Example: Log in after 18 hours and receive 3 deeds
    * Example: Receive 3 deeds, then turn in 3 filled deeds, and immediately receive 3 new deeds

Bulk Order Bribery=

  • Players may now grease the palms of NPCs that give out Bulk Order Deeds
  • The NPC will accept a bribe from the player in order to upgrade a BOD to a better one
  • Upgrades: Quantity, Quality, Material
  • Can only upgrade completely empty deeds

NPCs will become more greedy over time and ask for higher bribes

  • Higher level deeds also require higher bribes

NPCs who are bribed frequently will come under Guild scrutiny, and stop accepting bribes for a short time To start the process, select the Bribe context menu option on the NPC, and follow the instructions!

Types of BODs

There are currently two types of BODs, small and large.

Small

The Small BODs (sometimes abbreviated SBOD) require only that you make one item. Once completed you may turn in the BOD right away to the appropriate craft NPC.

Large

Large BODs are where you get the most desirable rewards. In order to complete a Large BOD (sometimes abbreviated LBOD), you must collect all the smaller BODs it requires. This is what makes them so difficult to complete. Once you have collected all the nesessary small BODs, you fill them and add them to the large BOD. Once complete, turn in the large BOD to the appropriate craft NPC.
