Well yours are more useful than my new forts first artifact. A siltstone piccolo with a picture of a minotaur on it. Oh well good for pawning off to the traders

Artifacts cannot be traded.

You can use them to generate a tantrum in your crafters when you designate them for dumping/atomsmashing.

Several experiments concluded that masterpiece destruction /artifact destruction is less effective if the crafter has lots of masterworks floating around than other forms of bad thoughts, like having pets die and rot.

You can induce tantrums far faster with trained hunting animals and the atom smasher, with a considerably smaller dent in total networth.

Or drink three pints at lunch. Muscle relaxant.

You have SIX artifact steel spears ? lucky...

Also that iron throne sounds badass. Also has a cool name. Make it so your strongest military can sit on it, and put it on a mountain of skulls, or reserve it for the blood god.

Spears are the wrong color for artifacts.  They are simply named weapons.  IIRC, dwarves will get the same bonus to attack rolls that artifacts get with them.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

I am not sure if they stay named when dropped, I think so.  If they get the same bonuses as artifacts then that is sweet, TIL!.  None of the steel spears are actually crafted artifacts.  Some are masterfully crafted (in fact a lot are).  They are just steel spears that my military have grown attached to.
