Prices (v3.18)

see also Trade.

VALUE
While the value of most items has remained stable across game versions, the prices of some craftable items has changed a lot in recent versions. In particular the price of torches, which were high enough to make them a common currency in v3.14, has dropped so dramatically in version v3.16 that it was worth writing a new price list entirely. The old price list, up to v3.14 is here.

The "value" of an item is a number of cuts of some canonical meat (but actual meat value depends upon the animal kind). Popular currencies in current v3.16 are cuts of meat, wooden bowls and fur footwear (worth 12 bowls).

In v3.16, the only situation where it's worth crafting torches is if you have neither knife nor axe: you'll need around 55 torches to buy a small knife, and twice as much to buy a knife.

In v3.18, Prices haven't been reevaluated yet. I propose to test value against Arrows so Buying 3 Arrows = 1bowl*2/3 (I'm tired so I cant do that math right now)


 * note Woodenbowls value is it's Sell to vendor value


 * note Arrow Value is the value to Buy from Vendor, otherwise its S before the value Ex: for Knife buy it for 12 arrows

Quality Modifier?
v3.18beta4 (Jan 3/2014): From the below data, it seems reasonable to conclude:

Carving axe: 105 Fine carving axe: 135 (128.5%) Masterwork carving axe: 160 (152.3%) Net: 105 Fine net: 135 (128.5%) Perfect net: 160 (152.3%) Shovel: 90 Fine shovel: 110 (122.2%) Perfect shovel: 135 (150.0%) Handaxe: 85 Fine handaxe: 105 (123.5%) Leather leggings: 70 Fine Leather leggings: 90 (128.6%) Masterwork Leather leggings: 105 (150.0%) Longbow: 60 Fine longbow: 75 (125%) Ring gauntlets: 105 Fine ring gauntlets: 135 (128.6%)

Buy Perfect net for 14arrow+woodmans axe  56+160=216? value

v3.18

1 perfect board = 3 arrows

1 arrow = 4 tasty/delicious roasted elk cuts = 2 dried bear cuts = 3 dried elk cuts = 2 dried burbots = 0.5 dried salmon = 1 cup = 0,5 bowl = 9 torches = 0,5 board

Craftable
Note that Quality impacts the price: rough/harsh items are worth half the value.

In 3.18beta4 it would seem Javelin is not a item you can use to trade with. Javelins are trade-worthy, although their value is about the same as the staves from which they are made, so they are a poor trade good. The above information is likely a false-positive which stems from crude quality (reduces value to 0), or attempting to purchase an object whose value is 100+ times that of a single javelin, which causes merchants to balk. This is circumvented by offering the item in bulk.

Food
Fish is worth between 0.05 (Roach) to 9 (Pike-perch), depending on its weight and nutrition.


 * ArrowValues as of v3.18

Individual meat cuts are worth around 1, depending on the sort of meat. For instance, bear meat is more valuable than reindeer meat.


 * Currently unknown if the taste of the cooked meat changes its price (ex/ tasty; delicious) Taste does indeed affect value. See Quality.

Un Common Items
