Smithing metal colour BODs and skill level

[Bapes]

Anyone have any idea what skill level you start to receive the different metals from your BODs?

What's the lowest anyone has gotten a valorite or verite BOD?

According to the raw runuo source.......

case BulkMaterialType.DullCopper: skillReq = 65.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.ShadowIron: skillReq = 70.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Copper: skillReq = 75.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Bronze: skillReq = 80.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Gold: skillReq = 85.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Agapite: skillReq = 90.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Verite: skillReq = 95.0; break;
case BulkMaterialType.Valorite: skillReq = 100.0; break;

Great. Thanks.

Here are the more depressing numbers:

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

That is your chance to get the different colored bods. They have been adjusted somewhat on this server but it is still terribly depressing.

Wow. Even if they are twice as frequent on this server that's really bad.

I literally just starting working on additional smiths to farm BODs, but after reading this it seems I'm wasting my time.

Tailoring BODs were very easy for me. I've got 7 T5 rewards from tailoring in a fairly short time. But I'm much more interested the the rewards from smithing, but there doesn't seem like much of a point.

I'm going to see if I can find this runUO source too. Hopefully I can make sense of it. There are tons of game mechanics I'm curious about. I wonder how much of UOF is "stock" runUO code.
