[Krath]

Bone in the current version apparently disintegrates everything that touches it.

Thus the Platnium, Diamonds, Star Rubies, Star Sapphires, Galena, and Adamantine your Legendary Weaponcrafter used for that Battle Axe?

It all went into the void, never to be seen again.

[celem]

A rope reed fiber robe, decorated with giant cave spider silk, encircled with bands of dark strangler bone

Made under posession by a legendary sword/armor/shield user whos been unconcious in my hospital for 5 years (missing both his legs)

He just suddenly woke up and crawled off to claim the shop, now he's back in his vegetative state

Must have been quite the coma dream.


Anywho, My current fortress has an artifact bucket with a carnelian handle. If only there were walruses where I embarked so I could use it as bait...

[Vercingetorix]

A mule bone statue.  Now, by itself this isn't a bad thing...it can increase room value a bit.  The hard part is all the things that were loss because of the bone artifact bug, including but not limited to steel bars, clear glass, giant cave spider silk and a few other things.

Of course, as always seems to be the case with junk artifacts, the subject matter is utterly amazing.  It's entitled the "The Worshipper of Touching" and refers to a goblin childsnatcher's death by stone-fall trap.  Perhaps it's a didactic lesson for dwarves regarding pedophilia, but I'm not sure.

That trumpet may be incredibly useless, but I wouldn't call it "worst" since it sounds pretty badass.

[Uzu Bash]

My very first artifact at this fort: "This is a lead bracelet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality." Worth 3k. However, having a legendary metalcrafter within the first year of an embark loaded with native gold and silver ores is awesome; this guy's total output has exceeded the value of two pages worth of artifacts that followed. I could buy whole civilizations thanks to him.

But absolute lamest: "This is a cow bone toy hammer." Worth 1200. And it was a possessed mood, so the poor loser went back to grunt work ever more.

[Fluff]

My Armour/weaponsmith had a strange mood. "Sweet! Legendary-oh. He's possessed. Damn it. Oh well, at least I'll get an artifact piece of... Ooh! Adamantine equipment! Sweet!"
...

"An artifact adamantine warhammer."

Not only did he get the only strange mood he will ever have, and blow it on a possession, he made a weapon that's roughly as effective as styrofoam. Gee, thanks.

[Gr33kjester]

"One Magnetite Chair, it is encrusted with Magnetite and has menacing spikes of Magnetite, one the side is a picture of Urist "Comrade 13""
The person who made this was called Urist "Comrade 13", self centred Prick elf

[Nobak]

Useless artifacts are plentiful.

I thought it was especially bad when the third artifact of my current fort wound up being a limonite amulet.
You know, to go with the first limonite amulet we already had.

It is a pretty badass trumpet; and if I had a trumpet like that, I might actually go back to playing, but I don't think dwarves actually use instruments.

Anyway, to add to the list, some migrant child was possessed by something to use two platinum nuggets (plus other stuff) to make a mug. According to the wiki, dwarves use a measurement to weigh things similar to kilograms, so by my calculations, it is a 46lb mug.

Drinkkissed the Pregnancy of Citadels, a native platinum mug
Weight: 21
Basic Value: 169200
This is a native platinum mug. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with brass, decorated with green glass and encircled with bands of giant cave spider silk, cow leather, green glass, copper and dog bone. This object menaces with spikes of native platinum. On the item is an image of a acacia in cassiterite. On the item is an image of a hide root in native platinum.

I don't even get a stone crafter; instead a useless child that will grow up into a skilless dwarf.

[EmperorNuthulu]

I haven't had many bad artifacts, heck I haven't had many good artifacts either, yet here's one. A giant rat leather shield, it did make my leatherworker legendary, but took up most of my leather. Also the leather industry isn't that useful.

[Uzu Bash]

An acacia animal trap, encircled with bands of acacia. I thought it was pretty useless, and it held a pretty useless firefly that no one has eaten yet, so I used a stockpile to place it in the reception of admin offices. It's still pretty useless, except to those who like acacia and don't hate fireflies.

[Lord Shonus]

You can build that to increase room value.

[nordak]

Most furnature and components are useful, all my nobles live in 3x3's and say they live in their "personal Palace"
