Note: While These Skills technically fall under other categories for Stratics forums, I'm doing this as a service for those who have it as part of their Crafter "mules".

This is based on the already-calculated point values for the BODs from uo.com , and presented in the manner that the formula for Blacksmith and Tailor were presented in the old EA Knowledge Base articles.

Part One: Alchemy BODs


BOD Values: These are fairly simple, from there not being "exceptional" or "Material" bonuses (unless you count the Nexus Core BODs).

Small BODs are calculated by A values only unless a Nexus Core BOD (which gets the bonus listed under section B)
Large BODs are calculated by A+B values


A. By Count:
10 count: 10 Points
15 count: 25 Points
20 count: 50 Points



B. By Large BODs
Nexus Core Stand-Alones: 100 points
Lesser Potion LBOD: 200 points
Regular Potion LBOD: 250 points
Greater Potion LBOD: 300 points
Explosive Potion LBOD: 350 points
Toxic Potion LBOD: 400 points

Description of the 5 LBODs:
  • Lesser Potions: Lesser Heal, Lesser Cure, Lesser Poison, Lesser Explosion
  • Regular Potions: Refresh, Heal, Cure
  • Greater Potions: Greater Refreshment, Greater Agility, Greater Strength
  • Explosive: Confusion Blast, Conflagration, Greater Explosion, Greater Confusion Blast, Greater Conflagration
  • Toxic: Poison, Greater Poison, Parasitic Poison, Darkglow Poison, Deadly Poison
Based on this description, unless changes are made in the future, the following potions/items do not have an accompanying large. (this list might not be complete, as it is based on my BOD pulls to date)
Nexus Core
Smoke Bomb
Gold Dust
Agility
Strength
Nightsight
Invisibility
Greater Heal
Greater Cure
(are there regular Refresh potion BODs? not got one yet)

Part Two: Cooking BODs

This description is subject to potentially radical change with the adjustments to the system in the next Publish or two.

BOD Values: Currently, there are point values for both normal and exceptional BODs. However, if exceptional BODs were implemented, them many of them must be bugged, as few (if any) of the BODs listed for the LBODs below can be bribed to exceptional level. If Exceptional BODs are spawning, the skill level where they start to spawn is unknown (I've just reached 80 skill and have not gotten any exceptionals)

Small BODs are calculated by A+C values (If C values actually exist in its current form)
Large BODs are calculated by A+B+C values (if C values exist)


A. By Count:
10 count: 10 Points
15 count: 25 Points
20 count: 50 Points

B. By Large BODs
Dough LBOD: 200 points
Unbaked Pies LBOD: 250 points
Barbeque LBOD: 300 points
Sweets LBOD: 350 points
Magic Item LBOD: 400 points (called "Fruits" by the UO Wiki, despite one item using eggs)
Miso LBOD: 450 points
Sushi LBOD: 500 points

C: By Quality (if actually implemented)
Normal: 0 points
Exceptional: 200 points

Description of the LBODs:


  • Dough: Sweet Cocoa Butter, Sack of Flour, Dough
  • Unbaked Pies: Unbaked Fruit Pie, Unbaked Peach Cobbler, Unbaked Apple Pie, Unbaked Pumpkin Pie
  • Barbeque: Cooked Bird, Fish Steak, Fried Eggs, Leg of Lamb, Cut of Ribs
  • Sweets: Pan of Cookies, Cake, Muffins, Three Tiered Cake
  • Fruits: Enchanted Apple, Savage Kin Paint, Grapes of Wrath, Egg Bomb
  • Miso: Miso Soup, White Miso Soup, Red Miso Soup, Awase Miso Soup
  • Sushi: Wasabi Clumps, Sushi Rolls, Sushi Platters, Green Tea (Note: This is a bowl of green tea, found in the preparations menu, not a mug of green tea)


Based on this description, unless changes are made in the future, many cooking recipe BODs do not have an accompanying large. However, based on the issues with the current system, there is more than enough room to implement additional BODs to pad the system above to replace the missing Exceptional BODs.
For example, there's no LBOD listed for the Baked pie smalls, Pizzas, Quiches, Meat Pies, Fruit Bowls, parrot wafers, and many other small BODs.

We really need to give feedback to the Devs to get this straightened out after they return from the holidays.

Inscription BODs still to come.

Tinker, Carpenter, and Bowcrafting will have their own specific threads, and I'll probably recreate separate Smith & Tailor BOD threads, since people can't seem to find them in the existing guides in the data chest.

Basara, you probably already have this, but I just wanted to note that a 15 count LBOD for the explosion/confusion/conflagration potions is worth 375 turn-in points/75 bank points. Bribed up to 20, it's worth 400 turn-in/80 bank points. (Bribing it up in Luna on Atlantic cost 23,000 gold.)

Basara, I received an LBOD for 10 each of the lesser heal, lesser cure, lesser poison, and lesser explosion potions. It has a value of 210 turn-in / 42 bank points. (You have 200 points listed for it above in one of your posts.) Bribing it up to 15 raised the value to 225 turn-in or 45 bank points. Bribing to 20 raised value to 250 turn-in or 50 bank points.

You apparently didn't read the post correctly.

It says right at the beginning

From the Alchemy BODs:
Small BODs are calculated by A values only unless a Nexus Core BOD (which gets the bonus listed under section B)
Large BODs are calculated by A+B values
This is how BODs have worked for the two original BOD-giving skills for 15+ years (only, in the case of Smith & Tailor, there's a Step C for the color of the BOD and a Step D for normal vs. exceptional).
