Bag values
« on: July 24, 2009, 08:07:45 pm »

Not really a gameplay question, just something that seems odd to me. A pig tail bag filled with Dimple Cup Spawn is 40 value (btw, is there an official term for dwarven currency?) while a base quality pig tail bag is 60 value. It seems a Dimple Cup Spawn bag is only worth 20 value. Is this just a quirk of item value or is there a valid reason for this?

We call them dwarfbucks, or we just use the character used in the game for them.

I've never really paid attention to the value of bags, though.

This is a bug to do with caravans bringing bags for trade.

You'll note that the description states "This is a Dimple Cup Spawn Bag (pig tail)."

A regular bag will state "This is a Dimple Cup Spawn Bag (pig tail). It is made from pig tail cloth."

The bag is lacking the value multiplier of the cloth it's made from.

Makes sense, I guess. It doesn't explain why GCS silk seed bags are more expensive than just regular silk seed bags.

I believe if you empty the bags(Plant the seeds?) their value will return to normal, but I'm not sure.

I think the GCS bags might just be set to have a higher price by default, like even a goblin GCS silk sock seems worth more then a full set of dwarven pig tail clothing.
