I would like to apply:
Mebidash Enalodad - a warthog bone ring.
This is a warthog bone ring. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.
<period>
Worth 1200 dB.
The thing here is the component list that went into making this pathetic piece of self reflection (the dwarf in question was a totally skill-less peon doing hauling duty since he arrived).
2 rough sapphires
2 cut sapphires
a single bar of gold
some bones
some leather
some wood.
The very least you would expect are some menacing sapphire spikes, but no. I'm mostly wondering where all those sapphires went. Maybe i should have the sheriff sweep the quarters of Urist McStealingBastard. I'm just glad i didnt delegate my star sapphires to be used
Figured i would rather have those one something useful, some furniture or weapon, not on some useless trade commodity i cant even trade because of its artifact status
By the way, since this came out of a fey mood, Urist McUseless is now a legendary bone carver. Not that i dont have 3 of those already. I think i will have them commit a ritual suicide using something made out of bone. Make them a set of bone armor, draft them into the militia and lock them into a room running the enhanced version of the militia excercise program 2010. This version uses masterwork steel spears instead of cheap wooden training ones.
Why? Because using bones for anything is not dwarvy in my opinion. It be either metal or stone. Exception being wooden training spears for .. well.. training
and beds, since you cant make those out of anything else.. no idea why tho. If my dwarves are fine sleeping on the floor, and on wooden beds, then i do not see how well made rock beds would cause a problem. Or metal beds for that matter.
