Hi
I'm an old player recently coming back to UO (after more than 3 years). This means that I'm in the strange situation of having a crafter GM miner legendary tailor/smith but without any money (250k is nothing now-days unfortunately) or tools.
my char is GM tinker and can provide it's own hammers, sewing kits and so on, so by "doesn't have any tools" I mean runic tools, ancient hammers, POF etc.
And of course 0 bods.
The main purpose of my crafter is to be able to provide for my fighting chars and of course to be self sufficient (hence GM tinker, carpenter, miner and lumberjack). I cheated a bit and used my tamer's money to buy some colored ores, but that's all.
I'm aware that without imbuing there is no way of crafting high end equipment, I'm raising it on another char (91 at the moment). Luckily it's possible to gain steadily just unraveling looted stuff.
I have been reading a lot regarding BODS, what is considered a keeper, what is junk, what should be bribed and so on, but I don't see it applying to my situation : what people consider junk is a treasure for me, even the lowest runic tool.
So I would like to have the opinion of more experienced people about the way I'm managing my Bods.
I have installed pico's UI so when I have a BOD it lists the reward and tells me if it can be part of the larger bod and then what would be the reward of that LBOD. It seems to be accurate please let me know if I can't just rely on it !
If a SBOD isn't part of any LBOD I always fill it and turn it back.
If the SBOD is part of an LBOD that reward isn't POF (90% at least), a 110 or higher powerscroll or a runic tool/ancient hammer I fill it and turn it back.
Any LBOD witch reward isn't POF (90% at least), a 110 or higher powerscroll or a runic tool/ancient hammer I consider junk.
110 and higher powerscrolls I don't consider junk reward because of the cleanup reward system, still I wonder if it's worth it when they come from an LBOD becauseof the many SBODS I'll have to use.
Turning those SBODS in individually could have given me a BOD with something better ... Depends on how many cleanup points the scrolls would give me I guess.
I don't bribe anything because I don't have the money but I could spare a couple millions from my tamer to do so. Should I consider bribing the BODS I consider junk at the moment ? I ketp those just in case, I have a lot of room in my bank and house at the moment so I can afford it
I post this here because I think that it could also apply to new players event if they don't have the vet char I have.
Except colored ores, all materials can be provided by another fighting char, some low level mobs even give colored hides.
So any opinion, advice or useful trick you can provide would be very welcome !
