Barter Ratings (Based right after coffee airdrop and the trader that comes to the shelter)

Exactly what I need! I can give you a lot for this! (***)

Intresting. Wanna exchange? (**)

Nothing special, but not bad either. (*)

Very common stuff, not very intresting.

Basic Items

Bandages (***): Used to dress wounds.

Canned Food (**): A canned meal, more nutritous than raw food. With time, you'll get used to its taste.

Cigarette: Real tobacco cigarette. Often used as currency in times of war.

Coffee: Some of us drink coffee to find strength in order to survive another day. Its limited availability in wartime makes it a valuable commodity.

Herbal Meds (**): Simple medications based on herbs. Sometimes they help. Sometimes they don't, still, they're better than nothing.

Homegrown Tobacco: Homegrown tobacco for making roll-up cigarettes. Not nearly as good as the real thing, but we can grow it ourselves.

Roll-Up Cigarette: Roll-up cigarette made from herbs. It reeks acrid, bitter smoke.

Medications (***): Their taste is terrible, but they can save your life in sickness.

Quality Roll-Up: Roll-up made from equal parts of tobacco and herbs, quite good under the circumstances.

Fertilizer (*): Organic waste that we can use as fertilizer in our garden to grow herbs or vegetables, or as bait in a trap for small animals.
