I also noticed that the area surrounding the Delucia gate is combat-free again. Any reason for this?

So the question on everyone's mind is: Did these changes NERF BODs? I paid a lot of money for some small BODs recently that did not give the previously advertized reward (er...I got screwed). Rewards appear to have been nerfed a bit. So we are asking for a new table....more details.

yes, thank you for my lack of words for a question. this is what i meant.

Maybe I'm just suspicious...but did the BOD percentages change in addition to the nerfed rewards?

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but out of the last 20 BODs, 18 have been iron, one was DC and one was C. This is certainly statistically possible, but...

Can you please repost the percentages?

It used to be a 50/50 chance to get some crap iron BOD or some color BOD. Then the colors themselves had percentages.

50/50 for color vs. iron??
I wish. Chances of getting iron have always been wayyy higher than getting colored ore....but unfortunately i have no proof to back this up, just experience

Sorry...I should have checked the code to refresh my memory. It's 50/50 for Armor/Weapons, then if you draw Armor, the following table came into play:

0.501953125, // None
0.250000000, // Dull Copper
0.125000000, // Shadow Iron
0.062500000, // Copper
0.031250000, // Bronze
0.015625000, // Gold
0.007812500, // Agapite
0.003906250, // Verite
0.001953125 // Valorite

So the chance of getting plain iron is 50%, once you've drawn armor. You are correct that the total chance of getting iron junk is 0.5+0.5*0.5 = 0.75, or higher if your smith is less than GM.

I'm still curious if the color frequency table was changed.

Patch notes would be gr8.

I have seen a huge increase in CBDs and even saw a barbed sewing kit. hehe.

I am assuming the bod patch is for both TBOD and SBOD. I have seen there is a LBOD for Weapons now do you have more details or a spot to research more info other than just ingame collection and cashing in?

not to sound selfish but I dont want to turn in bods without knowing what I have a chance of getting. hehe
