As we know, bribing for better BODs works in a way that NPCs ask increasingly higher amounts depending on the quality of the starting BOD, how many times the NPC has been asked for a bribe and such.
Question is, does this relate to specific accounts and if so, does it reset ? How ?
Is the bribing dynamics account specific or the NPC relates the same to all accounts asking to bribe for better BODs ?
I will make an example to better explain myself.
Say that John the NPC smithy is being asked bribing for better BODs by different players operating different accounts.
Mary the crafter of account A asks John the NPC smithy to bribe for a better BOD and the NPC gives a cost estimate for the bribe, Mary accepts the amount and submits the BOD to get a better BOD.
Now come a different player, Mark of account B who goes to the exact same NPC, John the NPC smithy, and also asks to bribe or a better BOD.
Now, question is, the fact that this NPC has already been bribed by another player operating another account will make or not a difference in the amount that the NPC will ask as a bribe ?
What I am trying to figure out, is whether the NPCs amounts build up "regardless" of which account is bribing them or whether they ask different amounts depending on the different history of the various accounts asking to bribe them.
That is, are they account specific in the amount they ask or their amounts build up regardless of which account may ask to bribe them ?
The above, also, assuming that the NPC looks at the whole account and not at single characters within an account. That is, if the exact same BOD is being asked to be exchanged for a better one, but by different characters within the same one account who have a different history for bribing, will the NPC charge them the same (i.e. look at the whole account regardless of which character within that one account is bribing them) or will the NPC treat the various characters of the asking account, differently ?
The above said, the next question that comes up, is whether the bribing asked amounts "reset" and if so, under which conditions.
I thought that daily maintainance might be the "reset" event to return the amount asked for bribing to the original starting conditions but I noticed that, even after daily maintainance, if I had previously bribed a NPC a few times, after daily maintainance the NPC would still ask a higher amount as compared to a different NPC. So, I have the "impression" that daily maintainance might not be the resetting event for bribes amounts asked.
Then, if not the daily maintaiance, what does reset the amounts asked for bribes, if at all ?
Thanks.
