I should be easily able to find a better replacement for that bulk order.
I shouldn't have too much trouble finding a better replacement for that bulk order.
It will be very difficult for me to find a better replacement for this bulk order.
I won't be able to replace that bulk order with a better one.
If you help me out, I'll help you out. I can replace that bulk order with a better one, but it's gonna cost you ~1_amt~ gold coin. Payment is due immediately. Just hand me the order and I'll pull the old switcheroo.
My business is being watched by the Guild, so I can't be messing with bulk orders right now. Come back when there's less heat on me!

So you want to do a little business under the table?
Target a bulk order deed to show to the shopkeeper.
That is not a bulk order deed.
I don't deal in those goods.
I am sorry to say I cannot work with a deed that is even partially filled.

ok I took a order to brit forge and asked how much to upgrade it was 11600 then went to delucia and same order was only 7900 so i ugraded I started with gold 15 exc and came out with agapite 15 exc
I then tried again the guy said he was being watched so I went to brit and he upgraded the same order again for me to verite then one more time to valorite 15 exc so from gold to valorite cost about 30k

Bulk Orders - I dont think you should be able to bribe the orders all the way from dull copper to valorite. It dosnt really cost all that much to achieve also i found one vendor which i bribed 6 times till he stopped.

Id much prefer the option of increasing units needed i.e. if its a 10 you can bribe it to 15 then to 20.

Another option to increase the metal value maybe by 2 tiers. (Dull copper order can be increased to copper)

The Third Option to increase to an exceptional bod.

I understand this would take a while but the current process just effects the metal type and nothing else unless its allready valorite then it will increase the bod amount.

Failing this can the Bribe just randomly give another bod but increase your chance of getting a mid - highier reward bod??

** just did another dull copper bod and it started with 10 units first bump was to 15 units then after that went all the way to valorite. Would be better to focus on the units more than the metal type i.e. if starting at 10 units more chance of getting 2 upgrades in units than 1 upgrade in metal type.

I think making runics especially the high end ones easier to attain even if it costs some is absolutely needed I have collected bods now for years and have about 12 venders all with books all full and still have never gotten one and this doesnt even come close to the ones i have thrown out!

With that said for smiths for example it is going to take them even farther from there old glory days and make there job mainly just collecting bods and then crafting the ones raised into runics

So we are now in the realms of a val hammer is achievable in a day.Ludicrous. Having spent years doing on average 100 bods a week to find this is disheartening indeed.The advent of imbuing nullified the smithy to a mere pof maker because there was no point in doing anything else except the high end hammers.

All this will do is make high end hammers a day to day occurence,which will mostly see the results of those hammers unravelled into relics and not used ingame for any purpose.

If this is what smithy's want then they have just signed their own death warrant on making any sort of livelihood or worthwhile purpose in the game.

For those who think that there only going to be valorite and verite runic hammer soon should think a bit harder. We might all be able to get these nice Bods but are we not forgetting that (Not me anyway) not have unlimited supply of ingots to fill these bods!

Actually that's where I'm very happy to be one of the few who have taken the time to raise the Tier Quests to the max. It looks like Elixirs of Valorite Conversion are going to be pretty handy hehe.

If people are struggling to gather verite and valorite ingots they should think about the tools available too them i do about an hour of mining on saturdays and usually manage to gather 100 val ingots ok with little effort. Not to meantion the masses of script miners out there who STILL beat the system despite repeated posts my myself and others.

Its not just Verite and Valorite that gets you val hammers according to posts ive read apparently a 20 excep gold plate can net you a val hammer if that is so following logic (not uo's strong point) that means gold and agapite are also available for use thats a large pool of ingots to draw from and im sure noones suffering from a lack of gold ingots.

Ive done a few more of these bods and not had another unit rise just metals ive given up now this is a poor change in its current state i really hope they take note and restrict it some more!
