+[[Publish 74]] introduced changes to how BODs can be obtained. All BODs are limited to one every six hours, no longer dependent on crafting skill level.

 ==Bulk Order bribery==
-* Players may now grease the palms of NPCs that give out Bulk Order Deeds
+Publish 74 also introduced a system where players may bribe NPCs that give out Bulk Order Deeds to get a better one. This can upgrade the quantity, quality, or material in the deed, and only empty deeds can be upgraded. NPCs will become greedier over time and ask for higher bribes, and higher-level deeds require higher bribes. NPCs who are bribed frequently will come under Guild scrutiny and stop accepting bribes for a short time. To start the process, select the Bribe context menu option on the NPC, and follow the instructions.

 There are currently two types of BODs, small and large.
 ===Small===
 The Small BODs (sometimes abbreviated SBOD) require only that you make one item. Once completed you may turn in the BOD right away to the appropriate craft NPC.
 ===Large===
 Large BODs are where you get the most desirable rewards. In order to complete a Large BOD (sometimes abbreviated LBOD), you must collect all the smaller BODs it requires.

 ==History==
 Bulk Order Deeds (commonly abbreviated as BOD) were introduced for the [[Blacksmith]] skill on November 30, 2001. The concept behind it was to create a system in which crafters could make goods for [[NPC]]s and get rewards. It was originally intended that all craft skills would eventually see BODs. But after the addition of [[Tailor BOD]]s in [[Publish 16]], the development team decided the system was not performing as originally intended. It is unclear whether BODs will ever be added for another craft skill. See also, [[Publish 19 - Bulk Order Books]].
-Update Deember, 2016 with [[Publish 95]] adding more skills to the BOD system and introducing adjustments via the [[Artisan Festival]].
+*Update December, 2016: [[Publish 95]] adding more skills to the BOD system and introducing adjustments via the [[Artisan Festival]].
