-For weapon-grade metals, bolts or goblets (see below) are more valuable than any other products.
+For weapon-grade metals, mechanisms are the optimal trade product. They result in the same value as trade goods, but aren't split over 3 different items and thus 3 hauling jobs per bar.

 It is also vital to consider the material, which acts as a multiplier to the base values listed here; see the table on [[Item value]] for details. For example: [[iron]] has value 10, so iron cap has value 10 * 10 = 100, and iron anvil has value 10 * 10 = 100. Note, that value of material is not the same as value of material item. For example, 'bar' item has multiplier 5, so iron has value 10, but iron bar has value 50.

 Wood is available in unlimited supply, but the ''rate'' at which you can produce it is often limited; given its many other uses, many players avoid using it for trading.  Another drawback is that as a material, all wood has the same low base value of 1.

 For all non-weapon-grade metals, flasks and goblets are the optimum trade goods. The best choice for furniture is probably a chain--they can be decorated as "finished goods" and installed in [[restraint]]s and [[well]]s, both of which can be admired by passing dwarves. Lower-quality chains can be [[melt]]ed without loss of material.
