Examples

For example, all wood has a material value of 1☼, a log has a base value of 3. So a log of wood has a value of 3☼. If you make a block of wood, it has a base value of 5, so the end value would be 5☼.

And a -lead goblet- has the following value, a base value of 10☼ for the lead, a material modifier of 10 for the goblet, and a quality modifier of 2x. For a end value of 40☼. Making a masterful aluminium goblets has a enormous value, 12 quality x 40 base material x 10 shape modifier for a value of 4800☼. The same as a low end artifact.
