Furniture Decay

7.23.4 Furniture Decay

(See HELP FURNITURE, HELP FURNITURE SELECTION, HELP FURNITURE COMMANDS,

Variations in material and workmanship result in pieces that last longer (or
not so long). All things being equal, something of stone will last rather 
longer than something made of bone, for example.

Stockrooms do not affect the decay of furniture. If furniture decays, it always
decays. Putting it in a "non-decay" room makes no difference.

The one exception to this is beds. Beds are priced in credits. They do not
decay. They last forever.


Material
--------
stone     145%    marble    150%    steel     140%    iron      135%
bronze    130%    platinum  125%    gold      120%    silver    115%
copper    110%    bone       90%    wicker     70%

*  these numbers represent changes from the current decay time. Example: if
   the current decay time is 300, then choosing bone will result in a decay 
   time of 270, and choosing stone will result in a decay time of 435.

** any material not listed above has no effect on decay times.


Style/Workmanship
-----------------
plain      90%    classic   110%    fancy     105%    ornate   115%
