However it can become quite valuable if it is made from the "right" {{L|creature}}; its {{L|value}} is 25 multiplied by the {{L|Value#Material_multipliers|material multiplier}} (aka [MODVALUE]) of the creature whose fat it is made from. This means that soaping is a good way to get {{L|wealth}} out of {{L|megabeast}} fat. For example, a soap bar made from {{L|dragon}} or {{L|hydra}} tallow is worth 1250☼, summing up to 12,500☼ for one such creature (since one yields 10 fat). The lengthy production chain, high labor demand, consumption of wood (for the {{L|ash}} for the lye) and potential scarcity of tallow however makes most players largely ignore soap and go for easier trade goods like stone {{L|craft}}s. |
