[General] Bribery Guide?

Is there a way of predicting how a BOD will be improved based on bribery price? I remember being rather good with bribery before I took an extended break and now I seem to have lost my mojo :(

It follows the murphy system. The software reads your mind, and improves it the least helpful way.
:shots:

In all seriousness, every time I think I know what it's doing, something changes. The cost typically is based on the use of the NPC for bribes, and the existing level of the BOD's 3 properties. Larges cost more than smalls, exceptionals more than normal. I wish the bribe values reflected which property was going to be raised, but I don't think that gets determined until after you drop the BOD on them.

I think it gives a color change (if possible) more weight, then normal/exceptional, then the count.

Personally, I'd prefer the order reversed, for some skills.

I wish they would let us chose how to bribe it up.
Ex: leather 10 Normal
be able to chose to take it to 15 Exceptional or Spined

I have used two of the same bods one I was trying to go to 15 (went to exceptional)
a few days later tried taking one to exceptional but it went to the 15 instead
