My worst artifact was a perfect prase opal, or something spelled sorta like that.  It menaced with spikes of itself.  The dwarf was possessed too, so I didn't even get a legendary gem cutter 

Just imagine if you'd gotten that AFTER magic was implemented.

When was magic put in?

[Danaru]

look at this, the game is too embarrassed to tell me how much it's worth. and it was a possessed potash maker.

Thankfully I saw this coming, and both this abomination and the creator are trapped in my soon-to-be magma moat.

I think this dwarf wants to be cremated:

And just to make it even worse this is a map without any coal viens, I had to import all that.

[flabort]

my only artifact so far was a lead helmet menacing with spikes of lead and encircled with bands of lead. it had a picture of a dwarf and a dwarf's head in tiger eye. the head was beside the dwarf. i asume the head was his own.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN!

The game hates me.

This just in, the single most valuable artifact my dwarves have ever created in any fortress:

"Stelmithenseb, The Tressed Bases, an HFS Shoe"
Weight, 2G, Basic Value 1633200

Sure, its covered in cat leather and has an image of toads in HFS, among many other things, but still, she might at least have made a pair of the darn things.

Oh Madam I have bought for you these boots of finest cork,
The one was made in London, the other made in York,
Oh will you be my love, my one and only dear?
And walk along with me anywhere?

Sir I'll not accept from you these boots of finest cork,
Though both be made in London, or both be made in York...


*excepting the protagonists of anything by Samuel Delany.

Oh, lets not forget "Crushed Lightning the Furnace of Spasms" made of obsidian and encrusted with spikes of obsidian with rings of hanging obsidian and an image of a dwarf striking down a goblin in obsidian.

Sure would make a nice spear, right? Or a sword, even. Shame its a grate.

Heh.  I got one of those - it was my first or 2nd artifact.  Thought it sucked, and then. . .poof. . .a my third or fourth artifact was another one!  Now one of my champions has a really nice pair of shoes.  His feet have never been hurt!  Yay!

They could just cut his legs off and in that case you need one of these.

I was hopeful when I saw one of my siege engineers picking up so many valuables, but then..



On the upside, it's worth 141000.

One my old fortressese had loads of lead, as such there was several lead artifacts.

Including IIRC a lead barrel...

 Yeah, those dwarves weren't the smartest lads around.

You can't have artifact siege engines or legendary siege engineers from a mood according to my recollection of the wiki.

Also, that chain can be use to make a very, very, very shiny well.

Excellent reference...a few versions back, I named one of my fortresses something as close to "the Wounded Autumnal City" as I could...I gave my dwarves a fanciful name like the black vest of mirrors (Scorpions and Kid's chain) or something like that.

I don't know how many Legendary socks have produced, but it's become clear to me that the love the gird their feet in splendor.
I've had them studded with gems, bars of gold, decorated with bone, sometimes all at once and I have to wonder at the actual functionality of these complex soks.  Especially because they only make one, not a pair.  Style of symmetry, I guess.  =->
