'''Finished goods''' are items that go to a finished goods [[stockpile]] when made. Many of these items are frequently referred to as trade goods as they are lightweight and only useful for [[trading]].  They include '''crafts''', '''goblets''', '''instruments''', '''toys''', '''large gems''', and '''totems''', some of which have several sub-types.

'''Finished goods''' are items that go to a finished goods {{L|stockpile}} when made. Many of these items are frequently referred to as trade goods as they are lightweight and only useful for {{L|trading}} until after the {{L|dwarven economy}} begins, when they will become wanted trinkets among some {{L|dwarves}}.  They include '''crafts''', '''goblets''', '''instruments''', '''toys''', '''large gems''', and '''totems''', some of which have several sub-types.   
  
 
There is no way to issue a job order for a specific subtype of a good with multiple subtypes.  If you have a mandate to make piccolos, the best you can do is to order instruments and hope for the best.

Some types of trade goods can be produced in multiples.  It is possible to get up to three crafts from a single resource.  The chance of multiples is increased with more [[experience]] in the craftsdwarf skill.  Mugs will ''always'' be made in threes, so they are more productive in terms of value than other trade goods (unless an import agreement offers a high price for another type of trade good).

−
Crafts include [[figurine|'''figurines''']], [[jewelry|'''rings''', '''earrings''', '''amulets''', '''bracelets''', '''crowns''']], and '''scepters'''.  They are the only type of trade good that appears on its own page in the Trade Depot menu.

===Goblets===
 
===Goblets===
−
Goblets have no subtypes, but have different names depending on the material from which they are made: [[metal]] goblets are simply '''goblets''', [[stone]] goblets are called '''mugs''', and [[wood]]en goblets are called '''cups'''. Stone mugs can be found under the 'All' section of the Move Trade Goods interface.

Note that dwarves never drink [[booze]] out of mugs, preferring instead to drink straight from the [[barrel]].

===Totems===
−
Totems are made from skulls by a [[bone carver]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Totems cannot be built as permanent structures, but careful management of custom [[stockpile]]s will allow the player to place totems at artistically pleasing locations around the fortress.

===Large gems===
 
===Large gems===
−
Large gems have no subtypes.  It is not possible to issue a job order for large gems; instead, cutting any [[gem]] or raw [[glass]] has a chance to produce a large gem instead of ordinary cut gems.  Gems and glass also have a chance to be cut into crafts this way. In fact, glass crafts cannot be made directly at a [[glass furnace]], and must be acquired through the processing of raw glass by a gem cutter.

{{L|Stone_crafter|Stonecrafting}} is a timeconsuming but easy to set up way to make {{L|export}} goods early, as your stone crafter will have access to tons of {{L|stone}} in a typical fortress. Stone goods are not that valuable and quite heavy, but many of these can be made and they will be accepted by any {{L|trade}}rs.  A legendary stone crafter with a stockpile of high value stone or ore can make some very valuable crafts.
 +
 
 +
Making crafts from bone or shell is easy to set up if you have any {{L|dwarves}} hunt or fish, but it is easy for production to outstrip supply with legendary bonecrafters.  Additionally, bones and shell have potentially more important uses, such as producing bone {{L|ammo}} and {{L|crossbow}}s, or shell {{L|armor}}.  Skulls, however, have no uses other than totems, so making totems has essentially no drawback.
 +
 
 +
Cloth and leather crafts tend to be very light, and can be more {{L|value|valuable}} than stone crafts, but it takes more effort to produce cloth and leather than it does raw stone. Cloth and leather can also be used to make {{L|clothing}}, which is as lightweight as most trade goods and, in some cases, is automatically produced in pairs.
 +
 
 +
Wooden trade goods have low value, the same value as common, non-economic and non-{{L|obsidian}} stone, and cannot be traded to elves. Unless you have a highly skilled {{L|wood crafter}} and a surplus of wood, making these is not generally useful.
 +
 
 +
Metal goods can be highly profitable; however, if metals are scarce on your map you may prefer to save metal for {{L|weapon}}s, {{L|armor}}, and/or {{L|furniture}}.

+
Green glass goods are as valuable as those made from {{L|flux}} stone, and clear glass goods are significantly more valuable. However, glass goods are difficult to produce in large quantities unless you have access to either {{L|magma}} or an abundance of wood; as clear glass also requires {{L|pearlash}}, both wood ''and'' magma become essential. Crystal glass is better suited for the creation of furniture rather than crafts due to its dependency on rough {{L|rock crystal}}s, though said goods are equal in value to those made of {{L|iron}} or {{L|silver}}.
  
 +
{{L|Gem}} crafts and large gems can be very valuable depending on the type of gem, but the most valuable gems are fairly rare and it is impossible to control whether or not a craft is produced.
