My best in terms of quality was an iron battle axe.  Plus, it filled the mandate for battle axes that one of my nobles had out.

My best in terms of pure awesome was far, far, far beyond a plain ol' metal axe.  It was still a battle axe, but it was made of Goblin bone.  And it got even better: the free decoration in Goblin bone?  It was an Elf prostrating himself before a Dwarf as his civilization was conquered!

Ahah! I found out how much that battle axe in the first post was worth.

1458600

I also had two artifact adamantine axes at that fortress.

I bow before your sheer awesome.

well, my second (and best so far) artifact ever was a bed... made of dragon skull. with what i assume to be the entire history of the siege that brought the dragon, and the pains went through to kill it. i eventually drowned it. and the 6 immigrants that had JUST arrived, except for that stupid noble that came with them. collecting it's remains was just as hard as bringing it into the cavern which i was flooding. it also menaced with spikes of dragon bone (there went the rest of the skeleton) and was adorned with hoops of diamond and gold.

two frames later: goblin siege.

Using the mineral mod, I managed to get a ton of Inobtainite and seal the pit (not before one of the demons got out and killed a couple dwarfs, but I handled him, too), and so I see my metalsmith pick up about six bars of Inobtanite.  Now, I'm thinking, he's got huge levels in armormaking.  Proficient at least.  So, I'm optimistic.

It was a statue.  I was almost disappointed, but...

It's worth 2.5 million dwarfbucks.

My favorite is "The Revered Shadow" a Aluminum Short-Sword.

Yeah, Aluminum.


Weird.  But it's worth a ton, is light as a feather, and has killed so many goblin's it's starting to show up engraved on their armor and weapons when they invade.

My dwarves love my completely sublime tastefully arranged Floor Hatch.

An aluminum chain mail. I forget the specifics. It had a really silly name though.

My most awsomely awsome artifact? WEEEEEELLLLLLLL......

One of my first immagrant waves, it had a bunch of useless people in it (like a soapmaker, would be later remembered as "Soapy, the immortal 1 legged 1 armed blind soapmaker" and a single child. Without missing a beat this kid runs right up to my refuse stockpile and grabs TONS of kobold bones that I had collected rather accrimonously due to my stupidity of placing a single speardwarf on a long winding trail that brought him to dozens of kobolds skulking outside my main area of control. This dude killed 17 Kobolds, and has gone from dabbling to professional speardwarf from killing foxes and Kobolds.

.....

ANYWAY! the kid made "The Syrup of Replies" a kobold bone floodgate, that menaces with spikes of kobold bone.
It is now the gate to the partially constructed mosoleum made of kitty fat soap were a statue made of kitty fat soap stands in honor to Soapy. I MISS YA SOAPY!

[woose1]

Also, I was planning on making coffins made out of soap, but unfourtunatly it wont let me. hopefully my grand soapmaker will go nuts and make a coffin made out of soap.....
That menaces with spikes of kobold bone.

I usually get crap like legendary buckets but my first artifact on my new fortress is a pig-tail THONG called "The Furious Strangulation" 

Naturally, all my engravings now feature a legendary thong.

You should train all your marksdwarves to legendary hooker skill. 
Step 1: train them up on jewlers and soapmakers
Step 2: Work them up to nobles

[overlordFT]

My marksdwarf shot my armoursmith in the leg while practising, after he recovered the dwarf was possesed and made an artifiact....

"Leghurt the copper leggings" it was called.

"On this item is the image of a dwarf and a dwarf in copper. The dwarf is shooting the dwarf."

I love this game...

[cbfog]

Actually I was just thinking about this and getting something like an artifact bucket isn't too bad since you could make a kick ass well out of it that may even be better than a nicely appointed dining room as far as happy thoughts goes.

A well can be awesomely wellthy.
