How do I get one? I want copper swords...

[ussdefiant]

wait till fall and one will turn up.

[Toady One]

and for now, it's your precious, precious anvil.  don't let it disappear, though you can use it to make another one.

[Cosmonot]

Kind of silly to make the only tool that allows making metal tools is made out of metal.

[Toady One]

It's a difficult, difficult life.  Losing your pick in a cave-in or flood can also be traumatic.  The poor dwarves should just go live in the woods with the elves.

[Elethiomel]

Yes. Anvils. When you get it, how the *heck* do you get it to your Fortress? In my game, it just sits there and sits there...

[Toady One]

I think they'll put it in a furniture pile.  Or you can incorporate it directly into a metalsmith's forge (or whatever that building is called).

[BeefontheBone]

Normally the metalsmith delivering it will drop it in a furniture pile - if you've not got one of those assigned it may well get left somewhere.

[Elethiomel]

I believe I did have a furniture pile at the time... hm. I didn't have a bridge, though. And I had like 10 stone blocks and when I tried to build a metalsmith's workshop, it just told me I needed stone blocks and an anvil. Oh, well. All my dwarves started having constant combat interruptions no matter where they were anyway, so I abandoned the settlement. New settlement tonight!

[Toady One]

hopefully I can get those annoying combat notices to go away within a few days...  it's a fairly new thing, and it's cheapening the experience!  tawdry!
