'''Value''' is determined by the base value of an object, with multipliers for the material it is made out of and the [[quality]] of its creation, plus the value of any [[decoration]]s on it, all multiplied by the number of objects in a stack.
'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.
 
 
 
The '''final value''' of an item multiplies the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a stone, a statue) by the '''material multiplier''' (granite, gold), and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, and then adding any final value for '''decorations'''.
 
 
 
[[Room]]s also have a "value" which determines their [[Room#Specific_room_quality_grades|quality]], which is the sum of the objects placed within their designated area plus the [[material]]s that surround it plus improvements (such as [[engraving]]) to those materials.  See [[room]] for a more complete discussion of these values, and [[How do I increase the value of a room]] for a complete list of options.
 
  
 
==Base values of items==
 
==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the [[material]] and/or the [[quality]] multiplier(s), if appropriate.
+
The base value of an item is found from what the item '''is''', not what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the base value for a block, and a wood log uses the base value for a log, and they both use the material multiplier for wood.

The material multiplier of an item is found from what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the same multiplier as a log or chest - that for wood. Oddly, burned wood is no longer considered wooden, but has other modifiers.

Your [[craftsdwarf|craftsdwarves]] can add [[decoration|decorations]] to your objects. This increases their value. The base value of a decoration is 10. This is multiplied with the material the decoration is made of and the [[quality]] of the decoration, and added to the value of the item. For example, a [[gold]] stud would be worth 10 (base value for the decoration) times 30 (material multiplier for gold) =300☼. A finely crafted gold stud would be 3*10*30=900☼.

Engravings are decorations with the standard material modifiers.
+
[[Engraving]]s are decorations that ignore all material multipliers - an engraving in mudstone is as valuable as an engraving in obsidian or raw adamantine.
 +
 
 +
[[Prepared meal]]s are made from two to four ingredients which act as special decorations on the meal. Instead of the usual base value of a decoration, ingredient decorations use the base value of the object used to make the meal. The quality of the ingredient decoration is determined by the skill of the cook.
 +
 
 +
[[Dye]] is a decoration that is multiplied by the [[Plant material multiplier]] of the plant the dye came from. The quality of the dye decoration is determined by the skill of the dyer.
 +
 
 +
All [[Cloth]] has a special decoration with no quality which represents the thread used to make the cloth. It is multiplied either by the plant thread multiplier (&times;1) and a [[Plant material multiplier]], or by the silk thread multiplier (&times;2) and an [[Animal material multiplier]].
  
Note that some races have additional modifiers that cause them to prefer certain types of decorations over others. For example, Dwarves prefer encircled bands and menacing spikes over hanging rings, while Elves perceive menacing spikes as completely worthless.
+
All items made of cloth, including bags, clothing, and ropes, but not including sewn image decorations, have a decoration which represents the cloth used to make the item. It is multiplied either by the plant thread multiplier (&times;1) and a [[Plant material multiplier]], or by the silk thread multiplier (&times;2) and an [[Animal material multiplier]]. The quality of the cloth decoration is determined by the skill of the weaver.
  
== Dyeing ==
+
Dye, thread, and cloth decorations appear on all items made from a decorated item. For example, if thread is dyed with fine quality, and the thread is then woven with superior quality, the superior-quality cloth will automatically have both a dye decoration with fine quality and a thread decoration with no quality. If the cloth is then made into a bag, the bag will automatically have a dye decoration with fine quality, a thread decoration with no quality, and a cloth decoration with superior quality.
Value gained by [[dye]]ing is added, like that of decorations. Only [[thread]], [[cloth]] and its products can be dyed. For details see [[Dye]].
