I still haven't got a single artifact in any 0.40 game yet.

A chalk throne, with an image of a rat on it. Worse, it was a possession, so he got no skill from it.

It's still going in my dining hall.

A bed... covered in spikes. Maybe one of my dwarves is some sort of ascetic monk?

man possesions suck :\
I did get an adamantine toy hammer once.  An adamantine hammer wasn't bad enough for this guy, he had to take it to the next level.  Also an adamantine animal trap.  I never use animal traps.. are they actually any good?

My fortress got its first artifact. "Spasmlocked the Tall Plain-Authority". An olivine toy boat. I was initially quite disappointed at the useless thing the 14 year old made... But then I noticed he carved an image of an elf being killed by a roc onto it based on an event from two years ago, and I decided it wasn't that bad after all. Not bad, kid. Have your own bedroom.

Artifact beds are always high in awesomeness.  One of them eliminates the need for so many golden ornaments in a noble's rooms...

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

I've noticed practically every artifact has spikes on it

It's a dwarven fetish :D

Actually, dwarves are more likely to put spikes or rings on an object. It's in their entity file.

-native gold millstone-
My imp at Urorurilar mooded and made a native gold millstone, too!
I did forbid and all that to get platinum and aluminum into the artifact though.

What's even worse this time around is the moody dwarf became a tanner instead zomgosh

I can't quote for squat, but this is very true. Credit to PTTG?? for this insightful comment.
~Haven & Hearth has always been a terrible game with great promise. That promise kind of faded away, and now it's mainly a way for a few dedicated scumbags to annoy the few new people who drift in.~

I've got a toy candy hammer too. And a glove called Cryptswallows the Slick Lung, which sounds horribly autopsy-related.

My worst artifact was definitely a gem mug, with menacing spikes of pig tail fiber. Dwarves never use mugs, and gem mugs are part of a bug that stops them from being sent to a stockpile. Thus the mug was just left at the workshop, buried under rock nest boxes.

Adamantine warhammers are fairly useful, actually. I'm giving it to my hammerer to dispense Justice with.

Although it'll give a hit to my dining room wealth, where it used to live.

Yeah, but these are TOY hammers. Truly pathetic.

alright nothing inherently wrong with this one, other than the last description. The image is an image of a gem in gems. For more fun, I am pretty sure the gem in the image is the same gem as the one he made the image out of.

also the artifact name is atolkoth, graphics pack is glitching the text so I can't read the translation.
