1. Can someone explain to me how they work their BODS? I am not sure at all which ones are worth bribing up, which ones are worth turning in as is, and which ones to just trash. I have been using Kali's BOD Sorter but not sure if I should make my own index or not.

2. What does one look for in Shame as fas as what to keep and what to leave? I am thinking that I am most likely over looking things that sell.

3. How do you make your money? Looting in dungeons and selling it? Farming resources? Something else? I am just curious cause I make a decent amount of gold but I might be missing out cause I cannot afford to go all out on auctions or put things on vendors for outrageous amounts of money without worrying about the vendor running out of money and disappearing.

Thanks for looking!

1: ironically I haven't done bods since the 2nd year they were out.

2: You'll know it when you see it. I look for uncursed, non brittle splinters weps, swing speed jewels and such like that. I do bag everything to unravel for relics. Few weeks ago I made a cursed 26mr 197mana mage training suit.

3: yeah good luck with that. Everytime I find something decent myself some scumbag comes along and ruins it for me.

1) BODS...   I've honestly never done one BOD in 15 Years.   For the longest time they required multiple accounts to really abuse & I simply hate doing something if I know I'm not doing it right.

2)  Well as for Shame loot.
     
  • 20% + Splintering Weapons on USEFUL PvP Weapons(Butchers Knife / Warforks are HOT now).  The Basic idea is that the splintering mod when it goes takes away -10 Durability so ultimately you will have to use powder of fortification on that weapon a lot.  This means other useful PvP Mods (HLD / Hit Effect) cannot be imbued & thus have to come with the weapon as a random Mod
  • Jewelry Most expensive will be 5%-10% SSI + 5 Stamina increase Jewels with the remaining 3 slots free to imbue.  People typically want (Enhance potsion / HCI / DCI / DI)  other than that your looking for Imbuable jewels with OVERCAP mods.  Or Crazy Greater to Legendary CLEAN (No Crused / Brittle   / Cannot be repaired) Stuff

3)  Personally ...  I script RAW gold, but once you get to a working amount (300-500M) I usually stop.  It gives me enough to not have to worry & buy PvP gear as needed and beyond that I'd say SHAME loot & event rares are easily the best methods.  People are also quite fond of the Shard Shield Transfer between somewhere else & ATL for the good ole Buy Low Sell High..

1) Never did bods on Osi but i were an extreme power scripter on freeshards ( with a few ten thousands of bods ). Bribery is out of my knowlegde.
2) I always looking for noncursed \non brittle \ non unrepairable Items, and then look for specific combinations like LRC , LMC  , MR , high resist ,  HCI , DCI DMI , SSI Standalone , SSI and Alchemy or such. But i never made much money with it ( maybe 300 mil ).
3) Osi i only farmed shame a bit. On Freeshards i made money through Doom, Bods , Powerscrolls\Statscrolls , Farming Rares or raw farming Gold ( on one Freeshard i had spot for 2 mil raw money each 4 hours ^^ )

Tower of Roses has the Best Chart for what gives what

http://www.towerofroses.de/bodt-aos.htm

When you bribe an Item, its random what it bribes up First. It could be Exceptional -> Material -> Material -> # -> # or any variation in between, the Easiest Method is to think about the Minimum and Maximum # of Bribes Required to Yield the Kit you want.

Someone Should Probably Build a spreadsheet for barbed kits, I think I had one Going at one Point.

I can answer question 3.

Make this chr on every server:

GM Hiding, Tracking, Detect, Spirit Speak, Spellweaving, Necro and 120 stealth. Get 2/6 casting and +10 SS on ring or brac and +10 necro on ring or brac (which ever you dont get +10 SS on).

Get an LRC, LMC, Resist suit with Stam and Mana regen + Mana bonus + EP + DCI.

Look for large fights on servers and hunt for the res points, once res points are acquired, drop conflags, spellweaving fire, wither bomb and run away like a little girl when needed.

You have animal form, smoke bomb, weaving buffs and pots to survive/escape.
You can be a baller and ruin the day of someone running away from a gank with bolas.
You can throw revs on fresh ressed mounters who run out of your disco party of death.

Alternatively you can drop detect for wrestling, it's really whatever flavor you enjoy more.

I ran this in a few servers for a couple of years and absolutely ruined people's fights.

How do you make money you ask? Simple, you are basically farming players for their insurance money and loot on a suicide char. I ran this sort of setup so effectively on one server that the guilds VAMP and FL actually paid me millions to leave them alone in fights. I've even gotten suit drops off of players after they've died too much.

I was debating not disclosing this in case members here were at some point victims to my, for lack of a better word, genocides. But tbh I haven't run this sort of setup in years since these fights really just don't happen anymore and in the time since then I'm sure that people have moved on.

And uhh, to those on the receiving end of such past antics...
