Second year of the fort, an engraver got a strange mood and created...

Ustoskebon, "The Angry Odor", a Magnetite ring.

This is a Magnetite ring. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with Magnetite, decorated with wolf bone and encircled with bands of Magnetite. This object menances with spikes of Magnetite and cave spider silk.


... yes, spikes of cave spider silk. He's just badass like that.

Value at 43200

So there's that, as well. It looks like the only chronic problems that water can't cure are nausea and cave spider bites.
Which, coincidentally enough, can be cured by magma.

Non artifact:
This is a Steel statue. It is encircled with bands of finely crafted green glass. This object menaces with spikes of masterfully worked turtle bone by Tulon Tithitadastot.
On the item is a well-designed image of a dwarf in turtle shell by Unib Imikbomrek.

Its in the tomb of my first injured dwarf (he got a mangled leg preventing a goblin master thief from stealing a little kid) made him the statue because he likes steel and statues.

Mine is the cursed (very cursed) copper amulet soaredglistened.  it's "value" is listed as 50,000, but it has already cost the lives of my 4 best dwarves (including its crafter) so I shall not be selling it any time soon ... OR touching it.

If I remember right I got a stone craft with a value of over 9000.

I was in a jewelling mood.  The trade agreement screen came up and I ordered every type of gem.  There were dozens of different gem types.  Then the caravan came and sold me one of each type I'd asked for.  Then I encrusted finished goods with all of them.  And most of them went onto the one item.  The full description of the item was nearly a full screen.

The same thing happened to be in the last version. With a metal item. Silver, in fact. 25 Silver bolts. And the jeweler was legendary...

Although it was later destroyed in a cave-in, it was worth well over 900K.

Koshkulal, "Slaughterwonder", an Aluminum Greaves

Weight: 162Γ                       Basic Value: 240'000☼

This is an Aluminium Greaves. All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with Aluminium. This object menaces with spikes of Aluminum.


That's right, my first legendary armoursmith, on my first magma-and-steel map(and dangerously early; almost lost him). Also increased the fortress worth by an order of magnitude when it was created, befor factoring in that carried objects count twice.

This is a Rope reed vest. All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with Rope reed and Maple. It is made from Rope reed cloth. This object menaces with spikes of Rope reed.

Somehow, I can't help but feel unlucky with this one. That is the last time I buy large quantities of Rope reed cloth from the caravan!

Sadly, my most valuable item to date is a toy axe.

However, a weaponsmith just withdrew from society and collected 3 aluminum, 2 limetone, logs, leather, and silk cloth.  Got my fingers crossed that it'll be a real kick-ass valuable weapon.

I got three Items form all Succeeded moods.

In the Order that I got them.
"Pantedact the young raw lashes of rage"
This is a Turtle bone mace All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of turtle bone. This object is Adorned with hanging rings of turtle bone and menaces with ... !!Spikes of turtle bone.!!

On the item is an image of dwarves in tiger leather. the dwarves are traveling.
Weight: 44 Basic value: 8400
I drafted that guy as bone craving in my eyes arn't useful so I got a macedwarf abrewing.  :)

And next!! I got a kick out of this one thinking of the title in a abstract way.

"Yellstroke the quick dim tour of courtes" Think attackers and stonefall traps.  :p

This is a magnetite mechanisms. All craftsdwarfship is of the hishest quality. It is encircled with bands of Magnetite.

Pretty Underwelming Details eh? but its worth...
38400

Other wise too much in my book, for the stuff used, really the mace earlyer was cooler, AND useful to a degree.

And Third
Yay Weaponsmith, Possession tho. "shrug"

"The coil of cackling"
This is a Iron short sword. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

Heard it before  :p
IT is encrusted with Pink garnet and encircled with bands of Iron, Tin and Palm?!
On the item is an image of dwarf and a magnetite mechanism in Iron. The dwarf is raising the Magnetite mechanisms.

Value: 63600
No one is using it of yet, so I am planing to draft that weaponsmith, hmm I am not sure if it was possession or fey... eh I think I will get some swords out of him before I draft.
