Mercury poisoning is FUN!

Also, that hatch cover is awesome. Build an up staircase into a dwarf bedroom and build the hatch cover over the down stairs in the level above. You can use it like a door, and it's pretty.

I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for all of two weeks (after restarting countless times), and was thus overjoyed when my first secretive mood came along.

The single bone requested should have been a hint.

Thatthilamug, "The Autmnal Fog", a kobold bone idol
Weight: 5_dp Basic Value: 2400_dd

"This is a kobold bone idol. All craftsdwarship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of kobold bone."

For those curious, this is indeed an idol of a kobold out of kobold. By far, the worst artifact EVER.

[Spoggerific]

Well, hey, at least it was a secretive mood, and thus, you got a legendary bonecrafter out of it. It's pretty disappointing when you get an artifact like that out of a possession.

Zaslanlar, "The Crystalline Birds", a feather tree bin.

This is a Feather tree bin.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encircled with bands of Feather tree.  This object menaces with spikes of Feather tree and Lace agate.
On the item is an image of a dwarf and dwarves in Feather tree.  The dwarf is surrounded by the dwarves.

How, exactly, am I supposed to keep track of this freaking thing, unless I empty it, drop it in a room, and build a shrine around it?  And for a grand total value of 7200???  AAGH!

Well, all those people complaining about a artifact made from 1 material should wonder what is needed for such a simple object to be an artifact, like for example this:
"The Uncanny Workmanship Ball"
This is an Ivory ball, it is engraved with ivory:

For a description: middle of the page http://jerrytchan.com/weblog/?cat=5

I would think such a thing would classify as an artifact, no matter the material it is made from..

[Glacies]

Your artifacts are neat. Really. They aren't duds at all...

I have the worst ever: Nothing

My fortress is 10 years old and never a mood of any kind. No I don't have them switched off.
It's especially annoying because I have so much of everything that moods want except glass.

There are a few prereqs for a mood. Check out the wiki, if you didn't already, to see if maybe you missed something.

Lor Meldbilodom, Farmer has created Gastbebźth Nekol Avėd, "Cleavetwinkled the Skull of Clobbering", a cat bone battle axe!

...sweet! Onward my valiant Axe Lords! Slay the kitten menace!

[Borgin]

I always thought my turtle bone crown would be pretty awesome to stick on a noble. Seems rightly fitting for a drunkard to wear something like that- the Burger King crown of DF. Or at least that's how it plays out in my head.

Artifact 1: Ecem Debish, "The Tube of Spams", a Maple amulet. Weight: 1 Value: 4800

[ShadowDragon8685]

It's an Adamantine Artifact Warhammer.

That's a weapon with which a Hammerlord could crush a Bronze Colussus with like, one blow.

I saw a thread once where someone took an adventurer to a desert with an artifact adamantine warhammer, and started slinging desert scorpions all the way across the desert.

The first shot, he killed a scorpion and flung it 132 tiles away before it finally hit the ground.

[Derakon]

3 wafers of adamantine is what you'd need to make a normal adamantine war hammer, right? So you got a guaranteed awesome warhammer instead of whatever your weaponsmith would normally make. Granted you didn't have a choice in the matter.

I have recently been inducted into the "I hate bowguns" club. My bowyer grabbed some expensive stuff, and I expected a kick-ass crossbow for a champion. At least give me a girly eleven bow that I could come back and grab in adventurer mode.
