Fur

Furs are a product of tanning fresh animal skin.

Foreign traders come to Finland to buy furs (and nothing else). They look for only the most valuable ones, like fox fur.

Quality
There are five qualities (from best to worst) for fur:


 * superior
 * fine
 * decent (it just reads "fur" instead of "fine/etc. fur")
 * harsh
 * ragged

Note: According to Sami (the developer), quality is only important for the trade value and not in crafting (sources: Sami on fur quality, Thread on quality)

Value
The values of furs for trading has no correlation with the usefulness of furs for player crafting. Fox fur is extremely valuable for traders in contrast to bear fur, which is warmest of all furs.

Example: In v3.14 an inferior bear fur (21 lb) is less valuable than a normal fox fur (<1 lb) to foreign traders.
