Best use for an artifact bucket?
« on: June 21, 2008, 06:16:02 pm »


I'd hate for something worth about 200k go to waste healing injured dwarves. I was thinking maybe an emerald encrusted well?

Seriously though, would putting in a well be the smartest use (displayed for double value, dwarves can admire it)?

A meeting hall is about the only way to go.  You could carve a 5x5 room out of sand and fill in with miasma and dwarves will come from miles around to gawk at your sublime well.

That or build the most awesome ashery in the world.

Huh.  I wasn't aware the game tracked the handle as a distinct element.

Yeah, it's the only item type I've seen that has multiple parts.

It'd have to be made with adamantine.

Can you decorate buildings?

Err, no. Wells and Asheries require a bucket in their construction, and you can designate the artifact to be used.

I vaguely remember an obsidian sword that had an "exceptionally worked handle" or something like that.

Definitely make it into a well and have it as the centerpiece of a dining room or meeting hall... just pray your legendary dwarves don't fall in.
