This is my best artifact ever because it is one of my best achievements that break all kinds of sense. Like wood-only beds. It's worth 33600 Dwarf Simoleons.

Glass, metal, bone and gem moods can create a wide variety of items that aren't possible otherwise, like metal beds, glass buckets, horse bone thrones and ruby floodgates. Good stuff.

My favourite was a simple wooden door. Used it as bait for a forgotten beast poking automaton (upright spikes linked to a dwarf-operated lever).

Ha! I bet that was good stuff too! I don't think I am going to doubt the power of the simple mason/carpenter moods ever again! (Maybe save the craftsdwarfshops. . .)

Current fort has a mechanism, a leather shield, bone crossbow, steel sword and steel warhammer to name a few. The leather shield and bone crossbow went to the marksdwarf leader, sword and hammer went to those squad leaders, the mechanism is built into a lever in a heavily trafficked area, and the rest sit in a quantum stockpile...

Currently have a Hematite mechanism, worth a staggering 92400 simoleons.  I've had more expensive items,  but they usually contained candy.

Tetrahedrite throne decorated with tetrahedrite and with hanging rings of tetrahedrite. You like tetrahedrite, don't you, mr. moody crafter?
There was also a stone short sword, but shortly after that my fortress was overrun by 2 hordes of zombies, so I don't really remember.

The Unremarkable Nightmare.

A crossbow made of Dwarf bone, menacing with spikes of Dwarf bone. Engraved upon it in silver was images of the massive berserk killing sprees that rocked that fort as it collapsed in a tantrum spiral.

Kind of a dark development, but hey, this is DF.

I was getting prepared to start forging some adamantine battle axes, but unfortunately I had no legendary weaponsmiths yet, and didn't want to waste adamantine on anything but the highest craftsmanship.


Fortunately, a dorf was kind enough to have a mood, and build me The Frigid Toes, a adamantine battle axe. worth 1,640,400 dorfbucks.

On the item is an image of a dwarf and a elf in Kaolinite The dwarf is embracing the elf.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not sure if it's the best or worst artifact ever... Also iridium (rare metal) and chitinplate are extra materials included in Masterwork mod.

It's easy being an experimentalist. If you fail try again.

One of my dorfs has just made a figurine of his dead wife in her armour :(

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

Best I've gotten was a Platinum Warhammer, with pictures of itself, and the creation of itself

Caused goblin parts to fly away in arcs

I can't remember the name of it, but I once had a child enter a fell mood, murder his own mother, and turn her into a buckler. 

He came of age shortly thereafter, and was promptly recruited into the militia to be the wielder of his own dark creation.
