I swear I've looked through countless migrants and present dwellers in my fortress a lot and I NEVER see any who like Breastplates. Leggings, gauntlets, shields... But never breastplates. How am I going to convince someone to make an artifact breastplate if I can't find a single damn dwarf who likes them?

Make room for new dwarves. Kill off anyone who likes cats, socks, or wood. Then make more room by killing of anyone who was friends with anyone who liked cats, socks, or wood. Best kill of the family of those friends as well. Preventive measure.

Maybe you could make a really nice breastplate and hope someone gets attached to it and makes it into a quasi-artifact.

I NEVER see any who like Breastplates.

Maybe dwarves are hard-coded to like what they cover...

[Nkosi_SW]

Interesting.  Using Splinterz's Dwarf Therapist fork, I can see that out of my fortress of 206 dwarves, none of them like breastplates either.

You're just unlucky. I had an artifact gold breastplate once.

[Broseph Stalin]

Headshoots had an artifact adamantine breastplate, I think you're just unlucky.

It might still be that dwarves don't like breastplates. Maybe a mooding armorer who doesn't like any specific piece of armor in particular?

[Nkosi_SW]

Yes, the question here is not whether anyone ever gets artifact breastplates.  I had one in my last fort. 

The question (as indicated by the thread subject) is does anyone have a dwarf who actually likes breastplates.

The question is important for those of us who manage dwarves, skills and moods to get the artifacts we want, as the only way to target an artifact of a certain type is to find a dwarf who likes that type of item and then train them in the appropriate field.  If dwarves don't like breastplates, we can never "consistently" produce artifact breastplates.

Keyser Söze, is that you?

I also just checked. shields, bucklers, helms, gauntlets, low boots, leggings, but no breastplates.

[daneel]

Yes. I had a pig iron breastplate made in my current fort by my manager, who does indeed like breastplates.

Ah, excellent!  Thank you Daneel.  The question is answered - some (though perhaps not very many?) dwarves DO like breastplates.

One on my already Legendary armorsmiths just created Osfak, "The Certain Drain", a steel breastplate.  The only object the crafter likes is gems.  Very efficient dude too:

This is a steel breastplate.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is studded with steel.

Best damn artifact I've seen in a while. No useless decorations to needlessly attract goblins or migrants.
