For information on the in-fortress economy, see [[Dwarven economy]].
Dwarves like to make crafts out of pretty much anything they can: wood, leather, glass, stone, metal and cloth are just a few things that can be turned into valuable crafts to be traded with friendly civilizations.
 
In order of most to least valuable, the materials are:

== Trading ==
+
For information on the flow of goods and produce through the various processing facilities in the fortress, see [[Industry]].  [[Item value]] might also be helpful.
To sell goods (and to buy) you will need a [[Trade Depot]]. When a friendly civilisation comes along, they will want to trade at your depot.
+
 
<br />
+
For information on fortress-to-civilization trade, see [[Trade]].
By pressing {{key|D}} you can see whether the traders can reach your depotAt the depot, use {{key|b}} to toggle if the [[Broker]] should be the only one allowed to trade and {{key|r}} to tell the dwarves that you are trading.
 
<br />
 
Press {{key|g}} to bring up a window much like the stocks page. Press "enter" to toggle goods to trade. {{key|s}} allows you to then type in a word to find a specific good.
 
Remember that to trading [[Bins]] often means that the items inside of them will be traded as well. eg "Gem Bin" will trade with the gems inside of it.
 
<br /><br />
 
Once the goods are all at the depot and the merchants have unpacked, you can then press {{key|t}} to trade.
 
Use enter to mark goods for trade, and {{key|t}} to trade.  Watch to make sure the merchant is getting too good a deal, and make sure he has the room to take all the goods you are offering.
 
Use {{key|o}} to offer goods and appease the merchants if you have started to offend them.
 
<br />
 
Remember if your leader has placed a trade ban on a good, not to trade it or you can offend and insult your leader!
 
<br />
 
That's pretty much it for trading. Merchants >> Depot >> Select Goods >> Trade!
