Dwarf Fortress has a unique mechanic in place for denoting the quality of all the different crafted items from furniture to Clothes. While the quality is based upon the Craftsdwarfship and the materials used by the creator, the name of the item is then changed based on its quality. Certain symbols and characters are added in denoting the level of quality of the item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, these symbols and characters can be quite confusing to recognize in Dwarf Fortress. And it might make you wonder while selling or destroying the items as you don’t want to accidentally sell off high-quality clothes, furniture, etc in the game. So if you are wondering about all these quality symbols and want to know the exact level they specify, then here is everything you need to know about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before going through all the Dwarf Fortress Quality Symbols, it is worth mentioning that depending on the quality the value of the item changes significantly. You will be able to almost certainly make level 4+ quality items after reaching a specific level in their Craftsdwarfship. With that being said, here are all the symbols explained with their value modifiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
