It's not a single artifact, it was the seven[/b] granite mugs I got in a row. Admittedly, I did get the most epic Dwarf I had ever seen in that fortress but that's not the point.

[Ascii Kid]

Have you had a carving of a legendary mug on one of your legendary mugs?  That stuff cracks me up.

Only took three whole bars of aluminum to make...

Only took three whole bars of aluminum to make...

Icy Suitor eh? Sounds like something one would put on their... umm...

Though three bars? someone has a high opinion of themselves.

i managed to get a worse artifact, finaly. it was a fishbone ring (whoopee, i got it), with no spikes, hoops, or bands, just two pictures in fish bone. one was the stealing of my lead helmet by kolbolds, and the other was of a goblin carrying my dragonskull bed from his recent siege. the only survivor made the ring.

Well, it does have a... highwood on it.

I just had a bowyer go fey on me, grab a single ash log, and I got this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's worth 2400 dwarfbucks.  Can't even use it. The only way I can see it getting worse is if the mood was possessed and I didn't get a legendary bowyer from it.

It doesn't even have a cool name. It sounds like a new brand of air freshener or something.

[Silfir]

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.

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

Well, he never said he got either. Judging by this, the Siege Engineer in question should either be a Legendary Bone Carver or Metal Crafter now.

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.

What does HFS stand for, exactly? I mean, I know what it means, but I don't know the purpose of the acronym.

"Hidden Fun Stuff"

[Kate Wissen]

This is a Claystone grate. All craftsdwarfship is of highest quality. On the item is an image of Monom Hallworked the dwarf and Snang Muckdemon the Malicious Cinder of Spots the goblin in Claystone.
... (Misc history)
On the item is an image of brook lampreys in Claystone.
On the item is an image of muck root in maple.

[Silfir]

I don't even have any idea what a brook lamprey IS. I'm German. Some kind of fish maybe?

And muck root? Seriously?

[peekama]

This is a brook lamprey.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 They latch onto other fish and suck their bloodz. The species is an adapted form of the sea lamprey.

[Marlowe]

Suddenly I have a new nightmare. Zombie brook lamprey.

Seriously, you did well to spoiler it. That's a really ugly image.

[JoshuaFH]

oh no, itz gonna eat meh!

oh yes, i remember getting a special turban once.



Thanks for making a piece of gear only humans can wear Urist, thanks a lot!
