Bulk Order Deeds : Wouldn't it make more sense to "cache" up to 4 every 6 hours ?
Currently, NPCs "cache" up to 3 Bulk Order Deeds, one for every 6 hours of real time lapsed.
Now, considering that the day is made out of 24 hours, not 18, wouldn't it make more sense to allow NPCs to cache up to 4 Bulk Order Deeds, still one every 6 hours of real time lapsed, so as to make up for the 24 hours and, thus, permit players to collect their Bulk Order Deeds once a day ?
As of now, if players collect their Bulk Order Deeds once a day, 6 hours are basically wasted as they get 3 BODs every 24 hours and not 4 as they could, per the current 6 hours lapse in between single BODs collectable.
Sure, players can collect at 18 hours and then 1 more at further 6 hours to get all their 4 BODs in the 24 hours time frame but this would force them to have to log twice, at 18 and at 24 hours and not many are capable of logging twice within a 6 hours time frame and, so, they end up losing 1 BOD....
This would change nothing, the time frame would still remain every 6 hours of real time to collect a BOD, BUT, it would make the process more players' friendly and allow them to collect all 4 BODs which they are entitled to, with the current mechanics, within a 24 hours time frame.
@Kyronix , is this something which you can please make possible ?
Thanks.

ESRB warning: Some Blood. LOTS of Alcohol. Some Violence. LOTS of Bugs
What I am trying to say, is that I see no point against making it 4 BODs per 24 hours rather then 3 BODs every 18 hours....
Furthermore, why are people so against making it 1 lockdown and not having to use a vendor? Who actually benefits from it not being 1 lockdown?
If we take your approach @Bilbo (and others) then instead of caching 4 BODs we just keep it at 3 BODs and people just need to complete BODs to get more of them.
The cost is very little. I put 100k on vendors I use to show off suits so it makes no difference.
Would be nice if you could add and remove BODs from vendor.
Also I do not see a glut of power of fortification or Run if hammers on vendors. More BODs are fine.
And if there is no more storage slots lets in that House, or not enough, what happens then to the BOD books ?
Well, I wonder what the reasoning is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To my opinion, small BODs and also large BODs for that matter, give too little banking points, they are not worth it, to my opinion.
I much prefer to get the Larges, and then the smalls, fill them, and turn them in depending on wht Reward I need.
Of course, this means that I am forced to have to stock up a very, very large number of BODs because Large ones are very hard to come by and, also, different Rewards require different Larges with the right points for them to be collected....
So, yes, I am very sensitive to the amount of space which the storage of Bulk Order Deeds and their Books currently require and I would LOVE them to be finally made to only take 1 item and not 100 as they currently do for storing 500 BODs.....
Fill up vendors and don't give them gold or drop them. Someone should write a novel about this travesty.
Possibly because servers are not available for 24 hours daily, only 23hrs 45 minutes (on average) you would therefore not be able to collect 4 bods in 24 hours even if you did as has been suggested, 3 in 18 hours and one in 6. There is approximately 15 minutes daily that is 'dead time', not counted.
It is 1,425 minutes (infact 24 hours is exactly 1,440 minutes....).
Now, divide these 1,425 minutes by 4 and we get 356.25 minutes per Bulk Order Deed...
So, if the mechanics was changed to give 1 BOD every 356 minutes rather then 6 hours (4 minutes short), it would still make up for 4 BODs in 1,425 minutes thus including the 15 minutes for the server down...
My point being, that, at least to my viewing, there are ways to arrange for 4 BODs to be "chached up" in "about" 24 hours period... even if that will then be 23 hours and 45 minutes or so....
The goal would be to allow to those players who collect BODs once per day, to be able to get their 4 BODs when then log in "moreless" 24 hours later or, if you prefer, 23 hours and 45 minutes....
Rather then having to log "twice" that is, one at 18 hours and then once again another by 6 hours after that, in order to get their 4 BODs rather then only 3....
For example, Crafters with a skill between 0.1 and 50.0 may well get 1 BOD per hour or 24 in a day BUT, all those BODs are just the basic ones and it is extremely hard to get a Large BOD ?
I have no clue, it just sounds weird to me that a lower skilled Crafter can get way more BODs as compared to a GM or Legendary crafter....
I have a question then about the lower skill BODs that are collectable...
Are those 24 BODs per day (1 every hour) at skill levels between 0.1 and 50.0 of the lowest quality (base material, hardly any large or exceptional and stuff like that) with the 12 BODs per day (1 every 2 hours) at skills levels between 50.1 and 69.9 of a "medium" quality (low materials, and just few exceptional or lesser Larges) with then those every 6 hours at skills between 70.0 and 120 being the best BODs one can possibly get ?
The reason that I am asking, is that with 120 crafting skill I still get junk BODs, often, and very few Larges....
If at 0.1 to 50.0 skill one can pretty much get similar BODs as at 120.0 skill, and way more also (1 every hour vs. 1 every 6 hours...), why bother with being GM or Legendary crafter to claim BODs then ?
Just fill and turn in bods with a low skilled char doesn't give you any advantages. But they can help collect easy to fill small bods that your trained char turns in to get new ones.
