Market Value Mismatch

The pages listed below have a mismatch between the calculated price and the listed market price. This might be because the market vlaue on the page is incorrect, because the ingredients or work to make on the page are incorrect, because the market value is non-standard or because of a flaw in Template: Market Value Calculator It is currently known that the Prestige armors have some seemingly non-standard behavior, but any others must be investigated to indentify where the issue lies.

Very odd behavior. Small volume materials like Gold and Silver display inconsistent behavior in this ingredient calculation. When used as stuff, such as in Gold Plate armor, the value of the ingredients is as expected. 10x as much small volume material is required, so the ingredient cost reflects this - Gold Plate Armor requring 1700 gold, and gold having a market value of 10 results in an ingredient value of 17000. However, when used in item recipes that are not using the gold as stuff but as a regular ingredient, such as Prestige marine armor , the expected increase from that ingredient is only 10% of what would be expected. For the prestige marine armor, the 100 Gold required only adds 100 to the ingredient value, instead of the expected 1000.

However, this does not hold true when used in the Royal bed, that properly calculates teh ingredient value. Of note, is that despite the prestige marine armor requireing 100 gold in-game, its only defined as requiring 10 gold in the files, presumably then the small volume mateiral takes over and multiplies it by 10. But the royal bed doesn't need to define it as 5 to get 50 in game, instead it just defines it as 50. Something weird is going on here.
