Masterwork item promoted to artifact
« on: June 28, 2010, 05:22:50 pm »

"Kulet Idgakiz Tathtak Fer, Axe Lord has bestowed the name Romekagesh upon a steel battle axe!"

It shows up on my artifact list now, though in blue lettering, and with only the value of the masterwork steel battle axe.

Very nifty if it's a new feature - anyone else seen this?

It happened while the axe lord was fighting an unkillable titan made of yellow jasper (it has wings that I can't seem to cut off, so I have to make my axedwarves take turns tanking it so it doesn't bother the rest of my fortress... great way to train, though)

This is a new feature in the 31.x versions. It happens when the weapon sees a lot of battle.

It's an "artifact" in name only, though; it still acts like a masterwork axe in terms of combat functionality and maybe value.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
