I just got the most expensive artifact I've ever seen.
Flayedpulled, a spiked adamantine ball
This is a spiked adamantine ball. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of two-humped camel bone. This object menaces with spikes of adamantine.
Worth 4,897,200 dwarf dollars. Yes, almost 5 million!
I'm pretty sure you can use those in traps...
Don't. Adamantine is very lightweight and useless for Blunt Weapons/Traps. Adamantine is best used for slashing and cutting.
If you build the trap within a room won't that increase the rooms value/quality?
Holy crap that's hilarious. I feel small with my 1194000 dorfbucks earring now.
But at least it has a nice long flavour text:
Got another bunch of (raw) adamantine containing artifact stuffs in the 500k-1.2m price range and I guess I would've easily cracked 2mil if it wasn't for my lack of precious gems instead of all that garbage bling.
Fun fact aside: The always funny "Rock Bar" mood request was fulfilled by a wafer of adamantine for me at a time. And I only noticed it after making an adamantine bar to test if that will do it, but I guess it's still good for a nice throne when the king comes or so. <_<
Semi-PS: I was fully aware that the mood would spit out worthless junk and I still fed it adamantine and other stuff as expensive as possible in a controlled manner, just because (and I like it when my fortress value rises like there's no tomorrow).
