Skill bug?
« on: January 16, 2007, 10:00:00 am »

First off, great game.  Very fun.  Most the issues I have had with the game are already reported, although I ran into this issue yesterday and did not see a bug report on it.  I had a Metalsmith that went into a fey mood.  He went to the forge and made an artifact, it was a chain.  The Dwarf Fortress Wiki says that you use your Metalsmithing skill to make furniture, and lists Chains among furniture.  However after making this item my Metalsmith became a legendary Furnace Operator, not a Legendary Metalsmith as would be expected.

Fey mood dwarves have their highest skill bumped to legendary, not their most logical one.  I had a couple miners make legendary miner by making stone floodgates and the like.

It's their highest applicable skill.  Furnace operator somewhat applies.  It has always been a borderline case, but it's currently included.
