I think my first artifact was a gem encrusted with other gems of the same type.

I think my first mood resulted in a statue of a living chair made of cheese...

Did I mention I've modded my copy into oblivion?

I doubt it was my first mood, but the earliest I can remember was a platinum anvil. Tripled my fort wealth instantly, as I recall.

One of my early moods was well placed actually.

Prior to said mood, my fort had become big enough to have a mayor. This mayor was not only complaining about not having a fancy enough bedroom, but also setting mandates for endless amounts of bismuth items when the only bismuth within a 50km radius was in a single stone of bismuthinite that fell off the back of a caravan that had previously run into an ambush.

My mason, obviously sharing my frustration with this whiny curr, had a stroke of genius that killed to birds, with an appropriately shaped stone. He became fey, took the bismuthinite stone from the stockpile among other decorations and claimed a mason's workshop. A short while later he made, get this, a gabbro bed, decorated with spikes of bismuthinite. Sleep on that, Urist McMayorypants.

This didn't satisfy the mandate, mind you. So dwarves kept getting jailed until one of the kids grew up and the mayor was replaced.

My first mood, in my first fort? Resulted in a berserking carpenter, and many dead dogs.

The goblins came soon afterwards...

First mood ever resulted in a granite ring, and it was shit. 2400 dorfbux i think.

Best artifacts? Two artifact adamantine chain leggings, one named after the dwarf who made it. 'This is Meng Oarsounded the adamantine chain leggings, made by Meng Oarsounded.' My favourite commander promptly took it and went on to be very powerful.

I've actually had great luck with first artifacts.

My first ever artifact was an oaken door, with an image of fluffy wamblers in oak. The dwarves of the lauded ceilings slept on masterwork beds.

First artifact after I reclaimed that site was a brass crutch with an image of a historical queen in emerald, inspired by the expedition leader, a female dwarf, who was injured reclaiming the fort and required a crutch to get around.

First artifact at my current fortress is Ushilziril, "The Icy Fires", a steel battle axe. It menaces with spikes of steel.

Twenty-seven kills, 14 notable. So far.

If I remember right, it was a weapon made from rubies. Just rubies, being the only gems I had at the time for some reason. It was a spear I think. In retrospect it was pretty cool but at the time all I could think of was, 'is it a bug he made a weapon from gems?' and 'why did he take all of the damn rubies?'. I subsequently got him to fall into a pit and die.

I was agitated.

I had a hunter get a mood and claim a workshop.  He just stood there flashing, and finally I realized I had no cloth for him.  I kept hoping he'd hold out until spring, but he went berzerk.  His own dogs took him down.

My partner's first mood, OTOH, was a platinum boot, and she got an epic armorsmith out of it.  Then goblins came, killed the wrong guy, some jerk went berzerk, and killed the armorsmith.  Of course.

The first mood that I can remember was an adamantine weapon rack that was worth over 1.5 million dwarfbucks. Of course this was before I had any military set up so the goblins came and killed half my dwarves. The other half tantrum spiraled killing 3/4ths of them. I was left with 5 functional dwarves. This fortress is now my most succesful with gold plated walls and floors. It's 15 years old now.

I have no idea what my first mood was, but three out of the five artifacts my current fort has are chalk statues. One of the others is a puppy bone bracelet, and the last is some random kind of medieval pants that I'd never heard of before he made it.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

I got a really disturbing one. I accidentally killed a miner by having it channel down into a main hallway. I was a bit slow about burying him and one of the dwarfs who witnessed this became possessed and carved a statue of the deceased miner as he struck an obstacle.
