Ugh. Another toy axe. This one really wasted some good materials...

This is a palm toy axe. All.... (typical). It is decorated with turtle shell and encircled with bands of turtle shell, Precious fire opal, dragon bone, donkey leather, and platinum. This object menaces with spikes of palm and electrum.

It has a value of 162,000. Unfortunately, since artifacts cannot be traded that is a LOT of wasted materials. Especially those dragon bones.

No goblins in this location unfortunately. Although a pair of kobolds almost got away with stealing it. Good thing my Hammerdwarf was nearby to bash his corpse into a wall.

As far as seiges, I miss the regular goblin incursions... But to make up for it, I have had 2 dragons so far (accidentally killed one, the other killed a baby before I tamed it), and those were quite entertaining. Or at least the second one was. It ate 3 dwarfs before I flipped a lever and drowned it in magma. It is a custom world with megabeast stop % set to around 10% dead and start date at year 2, so there are about 90% of worldgenned megas alive. In addition, I am trying to PO the elves into attacking.

I had a stonecrafter going fey WHILE IMMIGRATING. Well, not much you can expect from craftsdwarves (other than metalcrafters anyway) but at least he went legendary.


But what can I use it for  ???

EDIT: How can I mod the game so children will use it to skewer all cats and kittens? :P

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

That... That could bring up something interesting. Try adding some weapon tags to toys? See what happens? And please, do tell us.

Hm. Platinum, obsidian, an uncut ruby and sundry others...

A quern. A platinum encrusted obsidian quern worth 61200 dwarfbucks.

...

If I build a quern with it in a statue garden, will dwarfs admire it?

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

My last fort had about a million and a half dwarf bucks worth of artifacts, I had them use raw adamantine. And what do they make? A hatch cover, a mug, and... guess what? Another hatch cover. ggrgrggrrrgrggrgrggr.

Ah, simplicity.  I do love a good stabby shortsword made from shiny metal, with a name suggestive of being violated in the rear.

All the good things in life, in a tiny package.

Oh Jesus, I love this place.


Also, I'm not the first one to say this, but I'll say this to you people complaining about artifact furniture: boo fucking hoo hoo.

Planestar the Reward of Beards.

The Ashen Bow.

Worth about 4000 Dwarfbucks, it fails in every way imaginable, right down to the image of itself on it. To top it off, the guy who made was possessed.
