If a dwarf names the weapon he uses the most, and a dwarf bites alot of stuff to death, would he name his teeth?

[SirAaronIII]

They have to grow attached to their weapons first, and I think they're already attached to their teeth.

[PwndJa]

Test it out. Make sure you remove the dwarf's limbs first so he doesn't get attached to his left upper arm.

I'm pretty sure it only happens with objects, and body parts are only objects if they get severed. He'd grow attached to his teeth if he used them as a blunt weapon in place of a sword (Which, I think, is far more entertaining than getting attached to a sword)

Really? Cause I could have sworn I had a dwarf slay a forgotten beast single handedly with a random sword he just picked up and named it right then and there before getting attached to it. Though I could have just not been paying attention.

I think it generally happens in stages, based on the number and difficulty of kills made per weapon; there's probably some kind of points system buried in the source code. A forgotten beast is considered challenging enough that they skip the whole "becoming attached" part and go straight to giving it a name.

[Girlinhat]

My men in danger rooms, with 10x training spears per trap, have named things after about a year without any kills to their name.  It seems to be more based on combat time and value spent with that weapon.  10x training spears is a lot of small hits adding up to one big sum.  Forgotten Beast is several large hits adding to the sum.

[SirAaronIII]

I think they get attached to it if they kill some important thing (titan, FB, etc) or if they level up their skills a lot with it (danger room) because I have a danger room and they're naming weapons left and right.

If you go into a dwarf's inventory and view his weapon you'll see a list of "significant kills" for that weapon. I think weapons basically get experience points, though I'm not sure where I read that. For whatever reason I've never managed to get a named weapon and I've been through 10+ forts already.

If dwarves are naming weapons from danger room training then they must be getting experience for blocking with them or something....

[Girlinhat]

Noobs never name weapons, it seems, while and "lord" will name weapons at will, pretty much.  IE, Axelords name axes whenever the hell they want.
