Wear is the general degradation of materials over time, primarily in the context of food and clothing. Wear and/or rotting will alter the quality of an item, denoted by the symbols x, X and XX. For example, over time a dwarf's "Pig tail shirt" will degrade into a "xPig tail shirtx" and eventually a "XXPig tail shirtXX".
Animal-based products can rot given enough time, rendering the product unusable and generating miasma which gives your dwarves unhappy Template:L. Crops and harvested plants can wither, making them useless but generating no miasma.
Clothing and leather items are worn down very rapidly after catching on Template:L.
Preventing the Problem
The good news is that food items will eventually disappear on their own if left alone to decay - however, the best preventative measure is to use them up before they go bad.
Template:L and Template:L can be processed into Template:L and Template:L, respectively, neither of which can rot. Template:L and various Template:L can be cooked, prolonging their shelf life. Plants can be brewed or processed into goods which do not wither.
Template:L will accelerate decay; as such, your food stocks should be kept in Template:Ls and guarded by Template:Ls or Template:Ls.
Dealing with Decay
A refuse Template:L will accept corpses, butchery products, bones, and rotten items. Placing one aboveground will allow corpses and meat to rot without producing miasma; if this is not an option, a sealed room can contain miasma safely without bothering the whole fort. Stockpile settings will allow you to sort your refuse as needed.
Some corpses cannot be butchered; most notably, invaders such as Template:Ls and Template:Ls. These are best left to rot in the refuse stockpile until they turn into bones, which can be used for Template:L.
Slain dwarves will rot unless put into a Template:L. They are stored in a graveyard stockpile until then.
