So I just got my first mood in this fort, one of the 2 children which moved in. He grabbed some Giant hamster bone, Turkey bone and Bismuth, took it all to a Craftsdwarf's workshop, and build a War Hammer! Is this suppose to happen? I always thought that the item was tied to the workshop or mooding skill in someway, but he had no skills to start with, and is now a legendary bone crafter, nothing to do with weapons.
Is this new? The wiki doesn't mention anything like this.
Thanks.

bone carving moods sometimes produce melee weapons.

Afaik a mood can generate any item in the game made out of any material in the game. Ive had Gemstone animal traps etc in the past.

Unfortunately I think we're all still waiting on the all-important cat-bone anvil.

[nanomage]

I am pretty sure not every combination is possible. I never had rock or gemstone or glass weapons or bone or bone anvils.

[Lagslayer]

All of the above, plus any dwarf without experience in a moodable skill will pick, at random, woodcrafting, stonecrafting, or bonecrafting.

Well, we're waiting on the anvil in the hopes of solving a very important question.

That's easy for me - clearly, the first anvil was bought on embark or acquired from human caravan.

1. No.
2. If that was even a possibility, where did that one come from? Square one.

What do you mean, 'where'? From embark of course.

Don't argue with circular logic

But then, say, where did wood come from? you need wood or metal for axes. for metal you need charcoal. for charcoal you need wood. So for wood you need wood...

Bring it from embark

[Kofthefens]

First of all, magma forges? Mine some copper, build a magma smelter, smelt it, use it at a magma forge, axe!

Besides, wood is elfy. They probably get it from taking a tree out to dinner some time, which gives them wood. (They are elves, afterall) But anvils, no other race but dwarves could think of such a marvelous creation. And hence, the question.

[Mr S]

It's turtles anvils all the way down!

The wiki mentions it, though maybe in a convoluted way - for example obsidian beds, mentioned in the wiki, are made in stonemasons workshop, not carpenters. The first ingredient is important for choosing a workshop (or maybe it's the other way around, doesn't really matters), and bone items are made in craftsdwarf 'shop only.
