MODERATE SPOILERS FOR .40!!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hey, so I had a mooded clothesmaker make a "sleek pig tail fibre mitten." Sleek mittens are one of the procedurally generated clothing types of this fortress, normally worn by the vault guardians. It's the only artifact I've had so far, so I have this question:

Has anyone had a mooded dwarf make an artifact weapon or article of clothing that wasn't one of the procedurally generated weapon/armor types? Are all artifacts the new item types?

If you did have a non-procedurally generated weapon/piece of armor, is there a procedurally-generated version available? For example, my world has special swords (wavy blades), hammers (large-headed hammers), and whips (bulky lashes), but no special axes. Maybe, if a mooded dwarf makes an artifact axe, it will only be a normal axe because there is no special version available.

I have very little information available and a very large hunger for knowledge.

bonus project-- has anyone been able to locate the raws in uncompressed saves for the new weapons/armor? Are they (aside from the material) better than regular weapons/armor?

Presumably, the selection criteria on the wiki still applies. Apparently those artifacts that are selected with a tag (like [SOFT] in your case) can include the new procedurally-generated item types.

I checked on a couple of mine: currently they appear to be exact copies of the base item with only an adjective added.

That is terribly disappointing. I was really hoping they'd be better, not just because of the material. So my pale metal wavy blade is just a longsword or scimitar or something?

Pretty much.

It will however be a very good one. The new metals perform better than steel for edged attacks.
