New Tinker BODs could use a tweak already...

So I'm looking at the Tinker rewards, and the only thing worth collecting is the special keg. There's no market for the blackrock and recipe and automaton head, because once you have one you don't ever need another. I'd love to collect the maps and sell them on my vendor, but I can't, and when you only have a few minutes to play each day, I can't commit to doing a tinkering BOD and then immediately go mining before it expires. Can we please eliminate the timer and make it something we can sell? I think I'm done with Tinker bods for now.

I'm not against the timer but it should start when you use item(map,talisman), not when you get. The automatons are also different depending on metal you used to craft(I'm planning on making one of each), so there may be a small market.

Yep the timer makes them USELESS to me. Should of just been an 'amount' on them and once the amount mined or converted or whatever the thing expires. I don't want to have to stockpile stuff to actually get the 'use' out one either, ie the smelting ones.

I do bods but have NEVER selected any reward with a timer and never will.

I did hear that there is a repair/fix going in soon for some of the new bods and perhaps rewards.

Its sad also that although you can hand in a bod and claim a reward for a lot of points if you bank it you get next to nothing. I you got a few more points to bank a bod it makes more sense to save for the higher rewards.

The only one of the cauldrons that is all that useful is the gold-to-agapite one.

The reason is that you can farm the gold elementals in Blackthorn's for 2-3 hours, and get enough gold (since you can smelt right there if the character farming has mining) to completely use all its charges.
