Editing v0.34:Item value

{{quality|Exceptional|16:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Item value''' is determined by a number of factors: the form of the item, the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the item (e.g. [[block]] ''or'' [[statue]]) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' (e.g. [[granite]] ''or'' [[gold]]), multiplied by the '''quality modifier''' (e.g. fine ''or'' masterful) if any, then summed with the final value of all '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the form of the item, not what it is made out of. For example, a [[wood]] [[block]] uses the '''base value''' for a block; a native gold block uses the ''same'' '''base value''', since it too is in the form of a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then determined by adjusting the base value with the appropriate modifiers.

:[1] Coins minted at a forge are always of base quality
:[2] Goods made out of [[cloth]] get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod) and the [[thread]] (without quality). [[Dye]]s are added separately (with quality), as a powder, not a decoration.
:[3] Prepared meals always have a base value of 10, with a quality modifier. Each ingredient is calculated separately, with its own base value and "minced" quality modifier. The total value of a meal stack is the sum of the above values multiplied by the total quantity, regardless of the proportion of ingredients. A more thorough explanation and example exists at the [[DF2012:Cook#Prepared_Meal_Value|Cook]] page.
:[4] "[[Decoration]]s" 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>". Decorations of [[bolt]]s have a 1/3 base value instead.

The following items have their value determined based on their properties:
====Weapon====
The base value of a melee weapon is (SIZE / 50) + 1; if the weapon has any EDGE attacks, its value is doubled. Ranged weapons simply have a value of 10.

==Material multipliers==
{{Material properties}}
The material multiplier for an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. A wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood [[log]] or a wooden [[chest]] -  that is the material value for wood, which is 1.
