Hey all.

What does it mean if a dwarf's icon is flashing. Just flashing, nothing else. No other symbols, and I cannot find anything in any status screen to indicate why this dwarf should be different from any others.

Seriously... it's wiggin' me out.

[Derakon]

That means they're legendary in some skill. It's a good thing.

[Jusal]

A good thing indeed. Being legendary at something means that they'll be making masterpieces like it was their second job (well okay, it's more than likely their first and only job but that's not the point!) or then they'll be mining through stone faster than a noble demands a large. Legendary miners also leave every one mined ore, stone or gem square behind as usable.

I have two flashing Dwarves.

One is a legendary miner who recently made a coffer. Flint Coffer encircled with aventurine and engraved with a maple in flint. Menaces with spikes of flint. Gecastdomas Ugutirid. Skeweredguild the Taut Rhythm.

The other is not legendary in any skill. That is what was throwing me off. Or does the physical attributes, such as superdwarvenly tough and such, possibly count towards legendary?

Ironically, the two of those Dwarves are lovers... two superdwarves making superbabies shall be awesome.

It means you need to make more clothing

Did you scroll down the skill list? There might be a few that aren't showing.

Legendary Engraver... interesting.

Got that way just by working on my massive highway project, too. From No skill to legendary through normal exercise of the skill...

[Kagus]

Yeah, legendary engravers are a dime a dozen.  As are legendary record keepers (the fastest-growing skill around), legendary stonecrafters, and legendary miners (these can actually be very useful).

[Derakon]

I think actually that Appraisal rises faster than Record Keeping does. It's just that you only get three caravans a year, so most of the time there's no opportunity to train it.
