So bones suck ass, but would a artifact be any better. A yak bone battle axe, decorated with yak leather.

What metal do you think it would be closest to?

[crekit]

I think it will hit a lot more of the time than a non-artifact one, and possible do more damage or something but I'm sure it will still not penetrate any metal armor.

Might I reccomend giving it to your captain of the guard?

As a symbol of office, or because it is good.

Symbol of office.
I'd be careful, though. Artifact bone weapons are supposed to be murder on unarmored targets, and don't CotGs deliver beatings?

[Mr S]

I believe only if you don't have a Hammerer, but YMMV.

In some of the later weapons the behaviour of beatings and tantrums was changed: they are now always delivered with bare fists even if dwarf is armed. Fists are still pretty lethal though, and hammerer is completely another thing.

I got an artifact golden breastplate, but I am unsure if it is good or not. I know density matters for blunt weapons, but I don't know if it matters for armor.

[Funk]

gold is too soft for good armor.
armor care not for density all it does is make it heavyer.

[omg_scout]

AFAIC slade armour was considered overpowered.

[NCommander]

Argh, wrong post.

TO answer the question, artifacts get a multiplier to hit and defense (3x I believe), but the material still soft and isn't super useful. That being said, material doesn't seem to factor into shields so a bone shield is as good as a candy one based on other comments here.

I tested this myself the other day, masterwork candy sword couldn't damage slade armor. Although a hoard of zombies ripped the poor dwarf to pieces. Note that even with max skills the dwarf barely moved.

This is good to know. I just had a yak bone spear made. I think I will save it for executions against stripped chained gobbo prisoners.

Against unarmored targets it will annihilate them. Against anybody wearing armor (even potentially just wearing clothing), it will be fairly useless.

This.

/thread.

Closest to copper only because coppers pretty crap and bone is worse apart from against unarmored, where as said, will be impressively good.
