Editing 23a:Item value

{{quality|Fine|20:24, 28 April 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}
'''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.

The '''final value''' of an item multiplies the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a stone, a statue) by the '''material multiplier''' (granite, gold), and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, and then adding any final value for '''decorations'''.

[[Room]]s also have a "value" which determines their [[Room#Specific_room_quality_grades|quality]], which is the sum of the objects placed within their designated area plus the [[material]]s that surround it plus improvements (such as [[engraving]]) to those materials.  See [[room]] for a more complete discussion of these values, and [[How do I increase the value of a room]] for a complete list of options.

==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 steel block uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'steel', and a block of clear glass 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.

:[1] "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>". See also the section about [[decoration]]s.

:[2] Except for [[armor piece]]s, [[shoe]]s, and [[sock]]s, which are all listed separately in table.  "[[Finished good]]s", therefore, includes [[Crafts|amulet]], [[backpack]], [[Crafts|bracelet]], [[Restraint|chain]], [[clothing]], [[Crafts|crown]], [[Goblet|cup]], [[Instrument|drum]], [[Crafts|earring]], [[Vial|flask]], [[Instrument|flute]], [[goblet]], [[Instrument|harp]], [[Crafts|idol]], [[Gem|large gem]], [[Toy|mini-forge]], [[Goblet|mug]], [[Instrument|piccolo]], [[Toy|puzzlebox]], [[quiver]], [[Crafts|ring]], [[Restraint|rope]], [[Crafts|scepter]], [[Totem|skull totem]], [[Toy|toy axe]], [[Toy|toy boat]], [[Toy|toy hammer]], [[Instrument|trumpet]], [[vial]], and [[waterskin]].

:[3] Except for [[anvil]], [[ballista|ballista part]], [[catapult|catapult part]], [[mechanism]], [[statue]], and [[window]], which are listed separately.

:[4] Cloth items get a free decoration made of the same material. Goods made out of [[cloth]] get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod), the [[thread]] (without quality), and the [[dye]] (with quality).

==Material multipliers==
The material multiplier of an item is found from what it is made out of. For example, a metal block uses the same multiplier as a weapon or statue - that of the metal itself.

==Decorations==

Your [[craftsdwarf|craftsdwarves]] can add [[decoration]]s to your objects. This increases their value. The base value of a decoration is 10. This is multiplied with the material the decoration is made of and the [[quality]] of the decoration, and added to the value of the item. For example, a [[gold]] stud would be worth 10 (base value for the decoration) times 30 (material multiplier for gold) =300☼. A finely crafted gold stud would be 3*10*30=900☼.

Engravings are decorations with the standard material modifiers.

== Dyeing ==
Value gained by [[dye]]ing is added, like that of decorations. Only [[thread]], [[cloth]] and its products can be dyed. For details see [[Dye]].
