Appraisal: read every manual page, check the item, then send the estimate

Find the three things you need on screen

1. The correct manual, on the left. The title in the official image is Cybernetic Hand Appraisal Guide. Its footer is page 1/4: turn through the remaining pages in your own build before deciding you have all the rules.
2. The item under the magnifier, on the right. Compare observed features with the manual’s examples. Do not silently enter zero for a feature you have not identified.
3. The estimate field and Send Estimate below it. The displayed 100 is an input value, not proof of an accepted answer. A September player reports moving the magnifier window upward if the submission control is below the visible area. Official image Community UI report

What page 1 actually establishes

Pictured Cybernetic Hand rule	Entry visible in this image
Starting value	100 credits
Minimum value	50 credits
Aluminum Alloy material	+0
Carbon Composite material	+50
Gold Plated material	+200

For a gold-plated hand, 100 + 200 = 300 is only the page-one subtotal. It is not a final appraisal of the pictured hand. Condition, interface, additions and set conditions can require other pages; do not invent them from the colour of one screenshot. These are entries in an official display image with an unidentified build, not a guaranteed current price table. Image evidence

Build a checkable estimate

Make one row per applicable rule while inspecting your item:

Rule	Your observation	Manual adjustment	Status
Base / material	Actual item and identified material	Copy the current manual	Checked / uncertain
Condition	Observed damage, packaging or relevant state	Item-specific rule	Checked / uncertain
Interface / additions	Features you can actually identify	Each matching rule	Checked / uncertain
Set / special category	All required conditions, not one attractive feature	Apply only if complete	Checked / not applicable
Minimum / override	Applicable exception	Check separately from the sum	Checked / uncertain

Then total the checked rows, apply the relevant minimum or override, enter the estimate and submit. Community players specifically warn that an absent interface can matter and set conditions are easy to miss. A Ribwich packaging exception is not a mechanical-hand damage rule, and neither should be exported to every product. September explanations

Wear is not the same condition as damage

Do not collapse different condition labels into one “damaged” deduction. In CthuLuck’s September 15 Demo video at 2:39:12, the Cybernetic Hand manual is open to page 2/4. It lists Wears and Damages separately. Match the inspected item to the relevant illustration in your own manual before choosing a row.

Condition — choose the matching label

None · +0

Wears · −35

Damages · −85

Control interface — inspect it separately

EMG · +0

EMG+ · +45

Neural Interface · +120

Unspecified · −60

Condition and interface are different checks: an unidentified interface is not automatically the +0 EMG row. A generic note saying “damaged” is too imprecise here: decide whether the manual’s Wears or Damages illustration matches. These partial manual entries are not a complete hand formula. Pages 3–4 and any applicable exceptions still matter, and an amount typed in the estimate field is not an accepted result. Inspected Demo manual

If the answer is rejected

Check observations first, then the signs/addition, then exceptions and all set requirements. Preserve the previous attempt so you can see what changed. Increasing a rejected number at random does not identify whether you missed a mark, applied the wrong item’s rule or made an arithmetic error. If the manual, item and feedback still conflict, keep all three with your build version for a useful help request. Conflicting player bug reports are not proof of a universal appraisal bug.

Watch a different manual being used

We inspected the public player’s frame around 2:01:32: it shows a Plasma Cartridge manual on page 5/7 beside the inspected object and estimate interface. It is a different item and manual, not a validation of the hand entries above; the visible input does not prove an accepted total. Use this to recognise the multi-page workflow rather than copy a number.

Appraisal information hidden behind a window?

The release hotfix 1.0.0.1 addresses information tooltips, including the Appraisal Certificate window, appearing behind windows on ultrawide and other non-16:9 fullscreen displays. Check your installed version before mistaking missing information for a manual rule. The fix does not validate a new item-value formula or change the scope of the older examples above. Official UI fix
