For me it would have to be the two blowpipes my bowers produced. Thanks a lot you jerks. At least I have an extra legendary crossbow maker in case the first gets goblin'ed.

Best artifact? Not sure, but the most memorable ones would be the two statues from my first fort, hell one of them was made of wood. In another one I even got a bone statue.

ConfinedPastimes
A turtle shell toy sword. menaces with spikes of green glass...and bands of turtle shell...and rings of green glass...  It made me another legendary bone carver, out of one of my wrestlers.  Which means I'm gonna be mixing his unskilled self up with the champions.

I don't even need another bone carver.  I already had 2 bone carver moods that made legendaries.  And I already can't supply them with enough bones to turn into bolts.  They even made significantly better artifacts, a bone hatchcover called "Bogcrab the Taker of Teeth",  and a turtle shell cage "Clutchpaddles the Beloved Quickness".  Both of which's names amuse me to no end and have been strategically placed to spur happy thoughts.  What the hell am I supposed to do with a toy?

Aluthlakal, "Defectwinnows", a Pine amulet
$2400
This is a Pine amulet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of Pine.
Well, thanks a lot.
At least it's not as bad as Skorpion's blowgun, I got a legendary woodcrafter out of it and my map has an underground river for wood.

Actually, that is not completely useless, use it in a well and you will get the benefits of an artifact bucket. It may not be the best as I got one made out of crystal once, but it is an artifact.

Exactly. Even if it's only worth a couple thousand your dwarves will be admiring the completely sublime well you can make out of this.

I can hardly believe anyone would bitch about an artifact bucket as being a "waste" of material and/or useless. If anything, buckets are among the best artifacts to have (though admittedly something like an axe, sword or plate mail outshine a bucket by far).

...but woodcrafters are practically useless because crafts are the least useful thing to use a (relatively) limited resource on.

I think i would win in the useless moods competition.
"Urist Mcgrandmasterminer has gone fey"
"Urist Mcgrandmasterminer has taken over the mason's workshop"
"Urist Mcgrandmasterminer has created velvetybutcher the tame oars, an artifact basalt cabinet"
Urist Mcgrandmasterminer is now legendary miner!

Useless. Especially when you have a legendary mason that made an artifact coffer and i had already got him to make an masterpiece cabinet.

mwhehe, but that means your miner probably got propelled straight to legendary +5.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Maybe, but that doesn't make an artifact cabinet any worse. How you can call that a bad artifact is fucking beyond me. Sure, it isn't great, but at least it isn't useless.

If you post in a thread named "worst artifacts list", one assumes you're bitching about the artifact itself as well, even if you don't say so explicitly.
