Yellow shaded Noble orders
« on: January 31, 2015, 08:20:05 pm »

I had a noble mandate 2 large gems to be made. I went to the jewelry workshop and cut 2 gems and the mandate went from red to yellow, so was not sure if it was 'met' or what.  Anyone able to help me out on that?

Going from brown to yellow to red represents increasing levels of urgency as your time limit to meet the mandate runs out.

It should never go from red to yellow.

Cut large gems are a separate thing from regular cut gems, and they only happen rarely.
From the wiki:
Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single craft or large gem (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will replace a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf with a strange mood can take a single gem and cut it into a legendary artifact known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large gem.

I guess the gemcutter had already failed the mandate, and the noble made a new one.
