[see: subject]

Is there some way to do it? I captured almost every single member of the past few sieges, and I'd hate to just toss them to Armok without stealing their legendary Goblinite whips first.

[LilGunmanX]

Keep in mind that the Goblins are all in cages, if that wasn't obvious enough, and also that they're all just sitting in my stockpile right now.

[Reese]

yes there is, but...

you will need to disable your lava garbage zone and set a new garbage zone for the weapons to go to.

Use the [d]esignation menu: d-b-d and use that on the cage the goblin is in.
Loo[k] at the cage and remove the dump designation from it.

your dwarfs will now dump all the goblin's gear in the closest garbage zone, from which you can now reclaim it. (you did make a second garbage zone and disable the one over the lava, right?)

Uhh, does this apply to built cages or stockpiled goblin cages? Because all of mine are stockpiled right now and whenever I remove the dump designation from the cages, the dwarfs don't go get the wepaons.

Do I need to build the cages first?

[Eugenitor]

Did you designate a garbage dump zone (not a refuse stockpile)?

[jellsprout]

You will often need to [c]laim the weapons with d-b(-c).

I'd like to ask the same question, as I never succeeded in stripping the goblins of their goblinite on stockpiles. I believe you need to get them into a built cage, but I'd still like a clarification.

Hmm, I just got it working.

For some reason the dwarfs won't do it en-masse...just one cage at a time. Odd.

Oh man, you're too vile and cruel!!! thats not dwarfy!!!!

goblins are best practice for your marksdorfs, since you may build 2z level complex where you'll throw goblins, after that your marksdorfs would rapidly get their legendary marks and archery!

You're too cruel throwing such precious dolls into magma.
And if you won't need their shit, just build an magma-channels to fill 1z-level of complex by lava, so any shit would dissappear, after that you may just remove that magma somewhere.

That's the thing. I want their stuff, since it sells well and can be melted down into fresh iron ore for my own dwarves. Also, lashes.

[Quietust]

Invader equipment is always forbidden when it enters the map, for some reason; thus, when you want to dump it, you need to reclaim it as well.
The mass-dump method works whether the cages are built or stockpiled, but in both cases you'll need to remember to undump the cages themselves (especially if they're stockpiled - if they're built, they'll just get dumped once you deconstruct them).

In 0.31, though, I generally prefer to just dump the weapons through Z-Stocks so that they last a bit longer as live target practice.

Iron won't melt in magma though, so you should be safe just dumping them wholesale. Their clothes and trophies will melt, but the armor and weapons won't.

I want all of their stuff. ALL OF EET!! And their bones too.

[Shoku]

definitely dump the stuff through the stocks menu. If you haven't used mass hide on strange things you can hide over your cage stockpile and get a nice visible blue H next to any goblin equipment, just in case you happen to have bins of the stuff sitting around but don't want your haulers wasting time moving that.

Then obviously unhide the cages when you're done in the stocks menu.

Try drowning them instead of using magma, then.
