'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.
+
'''Item value''' is determined by a number of factors: the form of the item, the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.
  
−
The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a [[stone]], a [[statue]]) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' ([[granite]], [[gold]]) and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, added to any final value for '''decorations'''.
+
The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the item (e.g. [[block]] ''or'' [[statue]]) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' (e.g. [[granite]] ''or'' [[gold]]), multiplied by the '''quality modifier''' (e.g. fine ''or'' masterful) if any, then summed with the final value of all '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
−
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a [[wood]] [[block]] uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the [[material]] and/or the [[quality]] multiplier(s), if appropriate.
+
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the form of the item, not what it is made out of. For example, a [[wood]] [[block]] uses the '''base value''' for a block; a native gold block uses the ''same'' '''base value''', since it too is in the form of a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then determined by adjusting the base value with the appropriate modifiers.

[[Cooking]] can use 2~4 cookable stacks of any size (resulting a stack of prepared food with the same size as the sum of the stack sizes of its components), and the value of a stack of prepared meals is the computing above multiplied by the total quantity, regardless of the proportion.

:[3] Prepared meals always have a base value of 10, with a quality modifier. Each ingredient is calculated separately, with its own base value and "minced" quality modifier. The total value of a meal stack is the sum of the above values multiplied by the total quantity, regardless of the proportion of ingredients. A more thorough explanation and example exists at the [[DF2012:Cook#Prepared_Meal_Value|Cook]] page.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Item value is determined by a number of factors: the form of the item, the material it is made out of, the quality of its creation, and any decorations on it.

The final value of an item is the base value of the form of the item (e.g. block or statue) multiplied by the material multiplier (e.g. granite or gold), multiplied by the quality modifier (e.g. fine or masterful) if any, then summed with the final value of all decorations.

Base values of items[edit]

The base value of an item is determined by the form of the item, not what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the base value for a block; a native gold block uses the same base value, since it too is in the form of a "block". In both cases, the final value is then determined by adjusting the base value with the appropriate modifiers.

Items without quality levels[edit]

1 glob, seeds, alcohol, powder, extract
2 Fish, unprepared fish, Meat, Egg, Plant, Leaves

[1] Coins minted at a forge are always of base quality
[2] Goods made out of cloth get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod) and the thread (without quality). Dyes are added separately (with quality), as a powder, not a decoration.
[3] Prepared meals always have a base value of 10, with a quality modifier. Each ingredient is calculated separately, with its own base value and "minced" quality modifier. The total value of a meal stack is the sum of the above values multiplied by the total quantity, regardless of the proportion of ingredients. A more thorough explanation and example exists at the Cook page.
[4] "Decorations" include "It is decorated with <material>", "It is encircled with bands of <material>", "It is adorned with hanging rings of <material>", "This object menaces with spikes of <material>", "On this object is an image of <description> in <material>", "It is studded with <metal>". Decorations of bolts have a 1/3 base value instead.

The following items have their value determined based on their properties:

Weapon[edit]

The base value of a melee weapon is (SIZE / 50) + 1; if the weapon has any EDGE attacks, its value is doubled. Ranged weapons simply have a value of 10.

Armor[edit]

The base value of a piece of armor is ((UBSTEP + LBSTEP) * 3) + (LAYER_SIZE / 5) + (COVERAGE / 10) + 1.

  • UBSTEP and LBSTEP cannot be greater than 3
  • LAYER_SIZE and COVERAGE cannot be greater than 100

Shoes and Gloves[edit]

The base value of a shoe or glove is (UPSTEP * 3) + (LAYER_SIZE / 5) + (COVERAGE / 30) + 1.

  • UPSTEP cannot be greater than 3
  • LAYER_SIZE and COVERAGE cannot be greater than 100

Shield[edit]

The base value of a shield is (UPSTEP * 3) + BLOCKCHANCE + 1.

  • UPSTEP cannot be greater than 3
  • BLOCKCHANCE cannot be greater than 100

Helm[edit]

The base value of a helm is (LAYER_SIZE / 5) + (COVERAGE / 20) + 1.

  • LAYER_SIZE and COVERAGE cannot be greater than 100

Ammo[edit]

The base value of a single unit of ammo is (SIZE / 200) + 1.

Values are for singles, not stacks

Pants[edit]

The base value of a pair of pants is (LBSTEP * 3) + (LAYER_SIZE / 5) + (COVERAGE / 10) + 1

  • LBSTEP cannot be greater than 3
  • LAYER_SIZE and COVERAGE cannot be greater than 100

Trap component[edit]

The base value of a trap component is ((SIZE / 50) + 1) * HITS; if it has any EDGE attacks, its value is doubled.

Material multipliers[edit]

Material properties
Defined: Value • Color • Density • Strain at yield • Temperature values
Derived: Magma safety • Fire safety
Fluids: Depth • Flow • Pressure

The material multiplier for an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. A wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood log or a wooden chest - that is the material value for wood, which is 1.

Quality[edit]

Item value is further increased by applying the quality multiplier.
