Can they occur without visiting a fortress you made in DF Mode? I read that artifact weapons can occur when a dwarf uses the same weapon for a long enough time, or manages to kill a major historical creature with the weapon.

Anyone have this happen in Adventure Mode?

[Chronas]

you have it a little mixed up there.
artifact weapons can only be created by moods.
when a dwarf kills enough dudes or an important dude he may name his weapon, it gets no bonuses other than kill/owner history being tracked.
an adventurer will never name his weapon, but may encounter artifacts or named weapons in old fortresses

There should really be a name weapon feature in the game.

it gets no bonuses other than kill/owner history being tracked.

You seem to be a bit mixed up about that feature, too.
For all intents and purposes, it is considered an artifact.  The only thing it does /not/ get is the artifact quality bonus.
You can't trade it away, other dwarves won't use it without it being assigned to them directly, you can't dump it...

Kill/owner history is tracked on all weapons.  All of them.

Actually the weapon in demon fortresses are artifacts so yes to a small portion for it but artifacts made in the world that arn't in demon fortresses  no i dont think there are any.

Well, I got a quest from a lord (after killing a dragon from a previous quest) to kill a bandit leader. He was decked out in a full set of <<☼armor☼>> and had a <<☼Silver whip☼>> but no artifacts. So I don't think they're really encounter-able regularly in adventure mode.

I think you can mod in predefined artifacts but random people won't find them I don't think, no.

You'll find them in various ruins you'd find titans in sometimes, and demonic fortresses in place of the blue metal weapons.

Modded in weapons are not artifacts.
