POLL - Should the Devs Reintroduce the "Bless Item" Deed as a Cleaning Britannia Reward???

As by Discussion Title... 🙂

Players should be excluded from voting as they will be bias.

Don't you trammel players have it easy enough already ? If this were introduced, the equivalent on Siege would end up being some deco item. I would probably lock it down right next to my Trammel moonstone and New Haven bunny.

I would like this but no... I have been collecting the bless deeds for some time so I am fine, lol

Yes I am starting to get a little low on my stock of bless deeds.

Fair and square, my dear Sir! So can I put your vote down as one for option: 3a) "Heck NO! Put Away Your Greasy Fingers from my Biz!"?    

AtomicBetty said:

Yes might as well.

RMT sites sell them so might as well let players get them through playing rather then supporting RMT sites.

Aaaand one for the Good Team! Many Thanks, my Fair Lady... 🙂

I am not Frodo, nice try.

Pretty sure they were duped to hell. I watched a Luna vendor sell out +15 in ~20mins recently b/c they had undercut normal prices by ~20% then watched a hidden/stealthing character restock 20 more (was shopping on my stealther in the EC so I counted the restocking).

The very next day most all of them (the bless deeds) on other vendors had adjusted their prices to compensate. The same vendor house has them stocked daily (right now) and NEVER runs out. Not to mention the owner told me he duped & was proud of it.

U Sure? I'm reasonably convinced to have seen you the other day in the Hunting Reserve of King BT... (the joke is in Italian, language that I'm sure you know very well...)

So, a good reason to have them obtainable again in a Legit way, isn't? 🙂

 I've also voted for the re-introduction of Item Bless Deed's.

One of my most desired items ingame, I have nothing really to go for anymore since they removed these, and introduced brittle/built in obsolescence to gear.

Make them very tough to get, but give me something to go for, I'd like to be able to fully gear a character, and move onto another... Rather than this cycle of unplayable characters I have, because the gear I like to play in does not exist anymore.

{And yes, the fact they are all currently blatantly duped, means they should be legitimised again}.

(I get the Siege, and Mervyn viewpoint, but this is one item I personally loved). 🙂

hmm... they are going to half price soon... sigh..

Captain_Lucky said:

I like the character bound ones. Like just for whoever claims it. I have one that's blessed for Captain Lucky. But I don't use it. Don't want something to happen to it lol Insurance isn't that big a deal for me.

I'm almost always in favor of Account Bounding (Char Bound seems to me a little extreme for the kind of Deeds we are speaking of here) items that are prone to speculation & duping, so I second that!

Don't be too sad: UO is choking full of Items to collect. And, moreover, between "Here and Now" and "If and When" there are a bunch of Devs... 🙂

Nice try at a stupid TROLL. Mr. Underhill was the name Gandalf gave to Frodo Baggins before he set off on his quest during the War of the Ring[1]. 

Well if having 35 Bless Deeds means they were duped then I better split all mine that I have left between all my accounts.

Nah, I take it easy as long as a proposal is not just a pure nerf, but some improvements. Adding bless deeds is fine but should not be easy to get.

The process to get a Bless Deed must be as tough as trying to get a Small soulforge, Slither or the new DF arties.

Same here. I just finished bringing all 27 of mine to my home shard. 5 characters w/ fully blessed gear/weapons is pretty cool 🙂  Most expensive insurance on any of mine is 3,500 gold ( 1 prized item ) LOL.

My Cameo and major Arties on my Sampire are all blessed. It will last forever - yay!

No its incorrect unless proven with evidence, guilty unless proven innocent, my dear Watson...

Darn! They must have changed the Law when I was distrac... ha!, but you are speaking of the Real World Rules as Applied to Not-0.1 Percenter, right? 😂

When they first came out there was an oversight with books that took forever to get fixed. A lot of people gathered hundreds and hundreds of bless deeds for practically no work. They were probably duped afterwards but the main influx came from books.

I don't know anything about any books, but when they first reintroduced the "Item Bless" deed for Cleanup Britannia, I collected about 25 of them and never used them.  I remember how much the original Item Bless deeds had sold for years after they were given out.

I still have all 25.  I never sold any.  So not every one available has been duped.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought ahead and understood how much these would be worth in the future.

When bless deeds came out and we didn't have insurance it was a big deal. These days I don't think they're that big a deal. But if people want them it doesn't bother me any.

Yeah, the original Item Bless deeds were more of a rare than something someone would use.

Yes of course!!! You should be able to die and not lose gold, bandages or absolutely anything!! Let’s also add potion satchels and stuff so no one can lose anything! Great ideas! /endsarcasm

Timing is everything. 

When they came out I had taken a ~6 month break. One night, out of the blue, I decided to check Stratics for nostalgia. Top post was players from the 3 shards that always get Pubs 1st in outrage that the deeds (I was totally unaware of) had been removed from the list w/o warning. All other shard were set to receive the Pub server up the next day.

I spent the next 6 hrs in a mad frenzy bouncing through every shard collecting & throwing away gifts I’d collected since 1998 on chars I’d never played yet created specifically to get their free stuff. Checking & double checking all toons to make sure nothing was missed, I did pretty darn good getting a horde of them. Was useless the next day at work but it was worth it  

Doesn’t bother me either way if they’re reintroduced or not so I stand neutral.

 😂 

Either
1) Revive bless deed availability
2) New God Mode... anyway, doesn't lose anything when dead, might as well don't die and remove ghost?

I did the same thing on a smaller scale. I was able to earn 6 of them and still have them to this day. I was not aware that Item Bless Deeds were duped. One thing I have always said and believe is if a (Wo)man can make it then a (Wo)man can break it.
