Sat Vumom, The Stroke of Savants (4983600☼)!
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:23:20 am »

(If this doesn't need it's own topic feel free to point me to a 'best artifacts' topic)

Sat Vumom, The Stroke of Savants, a gold scepter:

http://imgur.com/ym8vq
(I have no idea how to get the full description out of the game, though)

It's made of the following:
Wombat Leather x1
Dog Leather x1
Rough Prases x1
Llama Wool Cloth x1
Pig Tail Fiber Cloth x1
Willow Logs x1
Iron Bars x78
Gold Bars x85
Pig Iron Bars x34
Billion Bars x74

and it's valued at almost 5 million ☼, (4983600☼), which puts it over the original Planepacked.
It's not nearly as big of a deal as the original, given that the original was a glitch and it's pretty easy to make another one, I just thought that it was cool because this is probably the most expensive artifact created.

Nice one, too bad it's only a scepter.
I had a shield once. The dwarf who made it refused to take anything but copper (despite liking fine pewter ???), so I made him 'planepack' a bit. Strangely enough the base material wasn't copper but lead. Apparently the bug forces it to be chosen randomly from all the metals gathered.
Also 78 iron and 34 pig iron bars :o Looks like a waste of strategic materials.

Are you kidding me? That shield is going to be incredibly heavy. Your dwarves will be bashing in the heads of bronze collosi with that thing.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

So artifacts add weight when doing PlanePacked?

I don't think decorations add weight, sadly.

It's a lead shield, that's what causes the weight.

While impressive, planepacked had, I believe, hundreds of limestone in its construction, because the creator lived in a limestone layer and had stone to spare.  While you've achieved value through gold and billion, you haven't achieved the mass of loose stone.

Also calling anything "Planepacked v2" is like saying "Boatmurdered v2" - you're making a mighty big claim and you better have the goods to show for it.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
