Make scents last longer

[Brickbreaker]

For all you know that piece of leather is far more valuable to that person. It could have been the only piece of leather they made, the first they made, a piece that a friend who quit (or died) made and left them.

These might be pixels but you should not judge the value of something to someone else. I keep a Toad around all the time, I've given him a name and while I wouldn't care if you stole all my other shit I'd be thoroughly pissed if you stole my toad. In fact it's probably one of the very few cases where I'd bother to actually track someone down and attempt to kill them.

I advise people not to value pixels to that extreme, it's not really good for you imo.
Anyway who says we have to shorten the time it takes for scents to decay on worthless items?
We could have a base scent decay time for every item stolen, but the time would rise based on value.

Besides if scent decay based on value was introduced, next time someone comes round to steal, they will consider not taking out your valued pearl necklaces and cheese, making it easier for you to recover.

Value? To be measured how? This is not a "planned" economy.

Value? To be measured how?

Measure by quality. Generally most valuable things people make tend to be of high quality e.g; cheese, dragon's helm, pearl necklaces.

q300 is hard work to get up to. The carrot would have become valuable.

The carrot in itself is rather worthless in this situation, the real value would be the farming skill.

This doesn't really work either, some items have different or better utility than others, regardless of quality. If I can make decent quality bone saws without trouble, but can't make the crappiest quality of metal saws at all, a system by quality alone would punish the thief harder for stealing a q80 bone saw I could easily replace than the q10 metal saw I might have had once in my game career due to lack of connections and resources.

If he cares about his work he most likely has a few backup carrots around the same quality alt-vaulted, so it's not valuable at all, yet he would gain so much advantage from it in this situation.
