All items in the game have a [[item value|base value]], which is multiplied by what [[material value|material]] the item is made of and by the item's '''quality'''.  [[Decoration]]s (such as bone, gems, and studding) further increase the value.

[[Room]]s also have a "quality grade" which determines their [[Room#Specific_room_quality_grades|value]] in the eyes of those owning/using the room, 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.

All crafted items ([[furniture]], [[armor]], [[bolt]]s, etc.) – but not intermediate materials ([[bar]]s, [[block]]s, etc. except [[cloth]], which does have quality levels) – are bracketed by characters that show the quality of their craftsdwarfship. Dyeing also has a quality level, as does Decorating/Encrusting (with gems, leathers, cloth, etc.). Prepared foods have quality levels.

It is not yet known whether the damage or destruction of masterful alcohol can cause tantrums.

====Masterpiece====
+
When a masterful quality item is created, the game will announce, "<dwarf> has created a masterpiece!" The destruction or theft of such a masterpiece will cause the dwarf that created it an unhappy thought. [[Trading]] a masterpiece item to merchants is always safe. Masterpiece meals can be eaten safely, although allowing the food to rot will provoke the same response as theft or destruction. Using masterpiece bolts will not cause a tantrum, even if the bolts break. However, if a kobold or wild animal steals a used masterpiece bolt which was lying around, then the maker's mood will decrease. If a bolt misses its target and falls into the [[chasm]] or is melted by "the impertinent [[magma]]", this also counts as defacement.
−
A '''masterpiece''' is more than the highest normal quality and value - it is an artistic expression that is of great importance to the dwarf who created it.
 
  
−
When a masterful quality item is created, the game will announce, "<dwarf> has created a masterpiece!"  The loss, destruction or theft of such a masterpiece will cause the dwarf that created it a ''very'' unhappy thought. [[Trading]] a masterpiece item to merchants is always safe. Masterpiece meals can be eaten safely, although allowing the food to rot will provoke the same response as theft or destruction. Using masterpiece bolts will not cause a tantrum, even if the bolts break - however, ''losing'' a bolt, even one left on the battlefield, will. So if a kobold or wild animal steals a used masterpiece bolt which was lying around, or misses its target and falls into the [[chasm]] or is melted by "the impertinent [[magma]]", this also counts as defacement, and the maker's mood will decrease (but not as much as might be - see below).  
+
The magnitude of the unhappy thought is equal to 1000 divided by the number of masterworks the dwarf has created{{verify}}. So a engraver with hundreds of masterwork images on the walls of the fortress will be merely irked by the destruction of one of their many masterworks, while a dwarf who has only made a single masterwork item would be deeply and significantly affected.

The magnitude of the unhappy thought is equal to 1000{{verify}} divided by the number of masterworks the dwarf has created.  So an engraver with hundreds of masterwork images on the walls of the fortress or a bonecarver with several dozen masterpiece bone bolts will be merely irked by the destruction of one of their many masterworks, while a dwarf who has only made a single masterwork item would be deeply and significantly affected.
+
Note that using masterful [[ammunition]], either for practice or for real combat, does '''not''' generate unhappy thoughts.
  
−
Since [[legendary]] dwarves are most likely to be the ones creating masterpieces, keeping these creations safe should be high priority; [[tantrum]]ing legendary dwarves can be very difficult to subdue.

====Artifacts====
+
[[Artifact]] items have a unique name instead of bracketing symbols and are worth 120x base value. Artifacts, like masterpiece items, will cause a significant mood drop in the creator when destroyed or stolen. According to inspections of the memory values, it seems that artifacts have the same quality value as masterpiece items, with presumably the same armor/weapon modifiers (&times;2.0){{verify}}.
−
[[Artifact]] items have a unique name instead of bracketing symbols and are worth 120x base value. Unlike masterpiece items, the loss of an artifact will not result in any unhappiness in any of your dwarves, but it may result in a significant mood drop in the current overseer (i.e. ''you''). According to inspections of the memory values, it seems that artifacts have the same quality value as masterpiece items.  It is unclear if this is true for weapons/armor or not - opinions differ as to whether artifact weapons and armor have a 2.0 multiplier or something higher; nothing has been found in the game code to support such, but observation suggests otherwise.

== Skill and quality levels ==
  
−
Tradesdwarves of higher [[skill]] levels will ''tend'' to produce items of higher quality. Looking at the table below, we see that "Dabbling" dwarves never (without an applicable [[preference]]) produce anything above a basic "no quality" item, Proficient dwarves (the highest possible skill level at [[embark]]) always produce at least some quality and usually +Finely Crafted items+, while [[legendary]] dwarves usually (65% of the time) produce ≡Exceptional items≡, and the best legendary dwarves produce nothing ''less'' than ≡Exceptional≡ and produce ☼Masterful items☼ approximately 27% of the time.
+
Tradesdwarves of different [[skill]] levels will produce items of differing quality. "Dabbling" dwarves never (without applicable preference) produce anything above a basic quality item, [[legendary]] dwarves usually produce Exceptional items, and the best legendary dwarves produce Masterful items approximately 27% of the time.
  
−
Preferences for particular materials and/or objects make a considerable difference in the odds of producing better quality items, with each matching preference boosting the effective skill (not quality) by one level (if the craftdwarf likes the item type, subtype and material) and overlapping preferences being cumulative (such as for both [[silver]] + [[axe]]s, or [[wood|birch]] + [[bed]]s, etc.).
+
Preferences for particular materials and objects make a considerable difference. Although the exact adjustment is unknown, preliminary testing indicates that they can boost effective skill (not quality) by one to three levels (if the craftdwarf likes the item type, subtype and material).

The in-game calculations to determine final quality of a product work like this: first, a skill level is computed, directly related to the dabbling through Legendary+5 indicators and preferences of the particular crafter. "No skill" or dabbling is 0, proficient is 5, legendary is 15, etc. In most cases, skill levels are capped at 20 (so levels beyond Legendary +5 don't produce Masterpieces more often), but any bonuses from preferences are added ''afterwards''.

==Effects of Quality==
+
According to inspections of the memory values, it seems that artifacts have a quality of 5.
−
 
 
−
Most obviously, quality influences the [[value|monetary worth]] of an object, for purposes of [[trade|trading]] and determining price (the latter once [[economy]] starts). Destruction of a [[masterwork]] will also cause relevant unhappiness. However, for some items, quality may also influence other things.

Note that this is not a complete list.

−
===Food===
 
−
 
 
−
Higher quality [[prepared meal]]s give dwarves who consume them more [[thought|happiness]].
 
−
 
 
−
===Furniture===
 
−
 
 
−
Because [[room quality]] is based on total value of the furniture in a room, high-quality furniture will result in high quality rooms, which provide more satisfaction for the occupants.

The quality of any weapon, including [[crossbow]]s used as launchers, affects the skill of the shooter.

while equipped with a single masterpiece weapon, dwarves have skill increase to Accomplished, not Legendary. Still, the bonus is way too high. See this chart for the exact levels:
