Editing 40d:Item value

{{quality|Exceptional|13:32, 6 July 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 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.

:[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 wood block uses the same multiplier as a log or chest -  that for wood. Oddly, burned wood is no longer considered wooden, but has other modifiers.

==Decorations==

Your [[craftsdwarf|craftsdwarves]] can add [[decoration|decorations]] 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 that treat all materials as having a modifier of 1; an engraving in mudstone is as valuable as an engraving in obsidian or raw adamantine.

Note that some races have additional modifiers that cause them to prefer certain types of decorations over others. For example, Dwarves prefer encircled bands and menacing spikes over hanging rings, while Elves perceive menacing spikes as completely worthless.

== 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]].
