In both of the last two major forts I started, my first mood was a weaponsmith in the first autumn.

In both of the last two major forts I started, my legendary weaponsmith got killed off by some nasty monster in the first winter.

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

"Smith" gets a lot of chances in the mood lottery, so if you have a lot of low-skill smithing among your hauler class as others have mentioned, you'll get more Smithing moods.  I'm not sure if they have to have at least novice, at least dabbling, or just smithing enabled, but I'm sure a little skill making something useless (statues which are then remelted if not masterpiece?) wouldn't hurt.

Statues are considered weapon or armorsmith?  I think that's just Metalsmithing

Statues are considered Blacksmithing (most furniture); there is also Metalcrafting which is primarily metal crafts, studs, and chains.

The weighting only takes the dwarf's profession into account, so if they're Peasants they'll be less likely to be selected even if they'd become a metalworker.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

After I posted this I DID get an artefact buckler... but it was made of cow bone(woooooo..................) .... so yeah I get a lot of bonecarver ones. -_-;;

I am turning on a lot of useless-skilled migrants to have armour-smithing and weapon-smithing, and i'll tell them to make my bolts and some crap armour!


Also: I had a forgotten beast made of flames, and it's corpse is.. well... flames. Do I touch it? or no? before it died it was perpetually setting fire to my whole cavern area >.> stupid thing.

I think a flame of corpse will still burn you.  Therefore, touch it.

Shields have a good selling value, as I recall.  Spam copper shields!  Do wooden/leather shields count for armorsmithing or for carpentry/leather?

To train...yeah. Spam an abundant amount of weapon/armour/craft out of an abundant metal. Isolate 5-6 dorfs with ample bars and leave them to it until you see loads of "Masterpiece" notifications. Then you can stop.
