Not really - they are expensive, but at least not as stupid as the Wild Staff and Bow BODS that require ML recipes/gems and can't go above basic woods (only the smalls for the base item types that don't use recipes/gems can be bribed to higher woods)

At 33% chance success to make gold dust, I calculate -

- that it costs over 5 million gold to fill a 10 BOD. There is nothing in the reward table that is worth anywhere near that much.

Trying to figure how you're calculating that cost. I agree it's too expensive, but to me that number seems at least 10x too high.

My error. I thought I had the value of 1 Gold Piece as worth 1 gold piece. Obvious. Instead my Vlookup was finding gold ingots at 175 gold pieces, drastically skewing the results.

Corrected:

Since it's a small normal bod, it costs nearly 3000 gold per reward point, about 10 times higher than other alchemy bods. Here is how much it costs to fill a regular potions bod:

Banking the points is like throwing 30,000 gold away.

Yeah, I have a spare BOD book with stuff I'll never fill because they're worthless. I've run out of reasons though why I hang on to that book. I think there's a couple of dozen nexus core bods in there.

I don’t fill the nexus cores either.
