Three artifacts and no legendary skills
« on: October 08, 2006, 01:23:00 pm »

In my current fortress the lads have thus far produced 4 artifacts: an aquamarine chest, mule leather coat, a bronze chain and a shale toy hammer (there were about 4 more guys who went mad trying to make one).

Of those only the craftsworker who made the mule leather coat got a skill bonus (in leatherworking). The others are still novice in all their skills.

the type of mood is what affects if they become legendary or not.

fey moods/secretive (i think.) moods always give it, others do not.

if fey moods aren't giving it though, then it may be another story.

If a dwarf becomes Possessed, then said dwarf will not gain skill after creating the item. Dwarves who become Secretive or get a Fey Mood, do.

Damn, Posession really sucks then. Not only do you lose a productive worker for a long time, waste a bunch of potentially valuable materiels and run a very good risk of him going fuege and killing people you get basicially nothing in return.

The first guy to fail creating an artifact wanted rough gems and his only preference was for clear diamond. How the hell do I get clear diamond when I haven't even crossed the river and have all of 20 dwarves?

The second guy to fail kept sketching pictures of forests. His only wood preference was for mangrove. There were no bloody mangroves anywhere on the map.
