(0004433) Deathworks (reporter) 2010-04-21 06:09 edited on: 2010-04-21 09:30	I have uploaded a save where this can be studied. In order to allow circumstantial examination, I haven't actually traded in that save yet, so there is quite a bit of trade goods in the bins. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2183 [^] I didn't get a cat and these are the elves you have in the trade depot, but they show the behavior I described: In the second bin (the first has only 3 items or so in it), there is a decorated basalt amulet with a turtle shell image of a lizard. It gets boosted from 20 to 30 bucks. One or two bins later, there is a copper figurine of a statue, which the elves will buy at the default value. And in the third bin (I think, could also be the end of the second), there is an alunite scepter (I think) also decorated with a turtle shell image of a lizard fetching a higher price. On the other hand, other decorated alunite or basalt items do not get that bonus, and neither do amulets have any special bonus. The only aspect that sets these items apart are the motifs of the decorations. [b]EDIT:IMPORTANT![/b] I exchanged the save for the save from the next autumn when trading with the humans. There are more items with decorations, including a sterling silver earring with an image of diamonds whose value DOES NOT change. So, it is definitely only certain images that make the value change, but only for decorations, not for figurines.

For that matter, it looks like art facet modifiers for one's own civilization do not apply to item values within the fortress, but only when trading with the mountainhomes. It's not clear whether this is intentional.
