Title: Changing values to an item?
Post by: Emperor_Jonathan on May 24, 2008, 03:13:00 am

So, how would I change the value of an item. (In this case iron/lead/silver/aluminium etc. bars.)

EDIT: Oh and by 'change the values' I meant the values when trading.

[VALUE:X]

I believe. Two seconds of educated guessing to find.

I thought so, I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks.

Apologies if I sounded (erm...read?) short - it's just that so many people ask questions that are easily solved by looking for one's self, and it's getting on my nerves. Anyway, I personally have no experience with changing the values of mineral worth, but that seems like the most obvious place. The [VALUE:X] tag seems to be able to be applied to an item, it seems, so if you want to alter the inherent value of an item (before being modified for material and craftsfwarfship) that'd be the place to put it, as well.

And just to round it all off, [MODVALUE:X] is for upping the value of items made from animals.

Yep.
