Found out how to trade artifacts!
« on: May 31, 2008, 08:53:00 pm »

Yes, it is possible to trade artifacts.

If you really need to do so, have a bin made, and trade the bin away once it has the artifact (look for the rediculously overpriced bin).

This should be added to the wiki.

Um...while the bin will show up with a massive value when selecting goods to move to the fort, the artifact will not be available to trade.

Unless you've done something particularly clever? Basically all of my craftsgoods artifacts end up in bins, which regularly get taken to and from depots, and I never end up trading them away.

Trade the entire bin, the artifact goes with it.

I'd have to agree with Derakon on this one. I've selected a bin for trade that was purely artifacts (2 amulets and an idol from memory), making sure it was the only item I had taken to the depot.

Open the trade window... one +Alder Bin+, no contents. Incidentally, this is with the latest version, vanilla flavoured, etc.

One thing I can't remember, does anyone know if they take the bin and leave the artifacts in the stockpile, or do they dump the 'fact at the depot? (I have a lot of haulers, and I never remember to check before the artifacts have been safely binned)

Osmosis: Whilst I can't answer that question, I just wanted to agree with you about the rest. I've tried all I can think of to trade away artifacts. But the bins always turn up empty when they're at the trade depot.

They leave artifacts in the stockpiles.
So no, this does not work.
