-'''Decay''' is the erosion of objects over time in the form of gradually increasing [[damage]]. The decay rate depends on the item type, where the item is stored, the item's [[quality]], and sometimes the item's material. [[Log]]s, [[stone shards]] or [[dirt]] for example will completely decay within days while other items may even last months and years. Items made from [[cedar]]wood decay slower, and containers made from cedarwood protect their contents better than other containers.
