The cold cyclone, a throne? Sounds like a stone toilet to me...

Since artifacts have a 120x modifier for worth, 120 is probably the bottom end of it, but it'd be ridiculously hard to achieve that sort of fail in an artifact.

I'd say 1200 would probably the lowest anyone could expect to see.

[MaxVance]

I got another crap artifact. Somehow, this one is also worth 4800. At least the dwarf got experiece for this one.

I pity the kobold thieves who come back from my fortress.

[Cavalcadeofcats]

Just got the first artifact of a fortress.

Fokerkastar, "The Slippery Block", a Mudstone earring.

Mudstone earring, menacing with spikes of Mudstone, with an image on it of a Mudstone earring... in Mudstone.

3600.

This is the worst artifact I have ever gotten, and ties for worst with the ones on this thread.

Plus side: Useless trapper transforms into legendary stonecrafter!

It's 240 and 2400, because an artifact makes a decoration with the material too.

[Schmoe]

I have a rock crown worth 2400 on one fortress:

code:

Itnet Lorbam, "The Uncertainty of Standards", a Rock salt crown

This is a Rock salt crown.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encrusted with Rock salt.

I have another fortress with a Larch bow, decorated with Larch, which is also worth 2400.

My first dwarf possession resulted in a gypsum hatch cover encrusted with gypsum with an image of a gypsum hatch cover on it.

O BOY.

[Boatmurderer]

Usually at a new fortress the first artifact I get is a drowned psychotic dwarf. Maybe I'm playing wrong...

[Slinkyfest]

Uh... My first artifact was a dolomite idol. I've forgotten the name, only worth 4800, I got a legendary engraver out of it though. Course, over the next year I added about 300k worth to my fortress in engravings alone (most mastercraft) So I had a few dozen goblins invade. I lost my entire militia and a good number of labourers because I forgot to tell them to not haul dead bits and such. Sadly that was the end of my third fortress, it took me two years to design a well that came from a brook across the mountain, the valley, and down 10z layers or so. It was an awesome well... Had an emergency stair case on every level in case they fell in... Sigh... Stupid gobbies.

[Xombie]

My very first artifact in DF was Ostotam, a Copper sarcophagus(i checked gamelog.txt). It was about ~36k i think. I made a mausoleum for the baron out of it, but sunavubitch never died.

Only useful artifact i've created was an iron crossbow. My minotaur adventurer used it(mostly as a hammer) to exterminate elves.

[Slinkyfest]

... My awesome mason, the venerated Melbil Regsigun, just finished creating my first artifact for this hall... The jet coffin, Zagodudos "Gripman" (??) It is encircled with bands of jet. Its worth 2400, lovely... At least I got a legendary mason out of it...

Put it in the dining room, it'll make everyone happy.  That's what I do with all my furniture artifacts.  Ooh, a pretty cabinet!  Ooh, a pretty stone-fall trap!  Ooh, a pretty coffin!  

You never have to worry about one or two of em dying, 'cause they have pretty things to look at all the time.  Bread and circuses, bread and circuses baby!

[Lyrax]

Yeah, the worst POSSIBLE artifact would be to get something worth 0-1 dwarfbucks, like a pile of bones or a shell, and have the artifact be made from that AND ONLY THAT.

It'll be worth 120 or 240.

I already posted my personal lowest, which is 480.  I'm nearly there, but rocks are just too valuable to get lower than that!

well there's always that guy who got zinc chain mail with an image of zinc chain mail on it.  That's why it was so effective, people hit it and got caught in a recursive paradox or whatever  :p
