Do weapons that dwarfs name gain the x3 artifact bonus?  Does this stack with its original item quality, or would it replace it?

[Splint]

it becomes some kind of psuedo-artifact. it maintains it's original quality and everything. really just a flavor thing, And weapons that gain names are basically the next closest thing to that soldier after their wife/husband.

Yes, take Bilbo's normal everyday iron dagger he looted from a dead orc's hoard. He named it sting because he had an adventurer high from killing many un-indigenous Giant Cave Spiders in a forest. Which saved 13 historical dwarf figures.

Well currently they don't give a shit if you take their dragon-slaying axe and give it to Urist McRecruit, or crush it under a bridge for that matter. I expect that will change in an update or two.

Yeah, but damn is it satisfying when you get that announcement, especially when it was something awesome like killing a giant noseless cyclopic horse with deadly spittle using a glorified copper toothpick. Or beat a giant skinless gila monster to death with a bronze mace.

Concurred. I once had a named copper battleaxe with over 30 goblin kills and two forgotten beast kills.

Perhaps it's off-topic, but it wasn't quite "normal everyday". It did, after all, eventually manage to "put a pin in Shelob", not to mention how it would glow whenever orcs were around. It was made in Gondolin, as I recall, which was in Beleriand.

Less off-topic: Splint's right - weapons don't gain any special qualities when they're named.

Funny enough I just read "the Hobbit"again, and I recall Sting being elvish make.

And you guys are lucky, all my dwarves name their weapons by sparring before they even kill anything.

The copper spear and mace were actual occurances. The spear was even that soldier's first kill. The mace.... i think it was my champion's what, 90-somethingth kill, fourth FB.
