Meh, I just use swords a lot.You should try trowing copper coins, thats lots of fun.
Coins make awesome projectiles if you leave a stack of them out in evil cloud dust. The whole stack gets covered at once, they transfer the syndrome even if they pass right through, and they weigh very little. They don't work on anything wearing clothes, however (use arrows for that).Meh, I just use swords a lot.You should try trowing copper coins, thats lots of fun.
EDIT: Nvm, they just go right trough.
So, yeah, a stack of 2000 copper coins covered in vile ash that makes you vomit blood to death is my signature weapon. Custom profession: Dark Meteorologist
Battle Axes.

I've yet to test the coin-bag/waterskin bludgeoning tactic.
I just like to imagine my adventurer just standing there in his heavily decorated bronze armour and swords just launching themselves at others.

Urists to those who catch the ref.
I like to mix it up, but the most interesting one thus far was crutch and axe. My crowning moment was killing someone by sticking the crutch through their eye.dont talk untill u throw a axe the guy dodges and falls off a ccliff and goes splat
I hope to add 'axe on a chain someday to the list of my signature weapons. On a chain, as in being able to swing and hit from multiple tiles away, but not swinging as fast.So, axe-chucks. I abide.

I'm talking, of course, about chainsaw-chucks. Dual-wielded, naturally. And hell, why not make em out of adamantium. Anyone within five feet of the wielder would disappear in a cloud of dwarven engineering and increasingly small pieces of gore.
Bayonetta could pull it off. But, I digress. Yeah, I thought about that, but there are much worse practical problems with this weapon than that. I figure if you're wielding that you're either dwarfy enough to ignore the problems and make it work regardless, or you just don't care and want to go out in a gib-filled shower of awesome.Including the wielder.Meh.

Bludgeon people with your coin-bag/waterskin?I've yet to test the coin-bag/waterskin bludgeoning tactic.The what is that?

reanimate the hand when throwing it.
I (somehow) wield a marble coffin that i fill with the corpses of all I have slain (to make an already heavy object even heavier) in one hand, and the other holds a book made out out of fucking platinum. The book can crush skulls, and the coffin grows ever stronger and now that is has a few dead dragons in it, it sends people flying a mile backwards to explode in a pile of gore. Gore which I then place into the coffin, increasing its weight and power.
I like biting things though most creatures bleed out way too fast. Nothing kills boogeymen faster. Torn off limbs make good throwing weapons too.I find most things need their heads to avoid death.

I likeshorts! They're easy and comfy to wear!chairs. Making a set of reactions to melt down steel armor, and making a steel chair, then bashing people with said throne? So much fun to be had.
Throwing spears
And my signature weapon is a bronze spear. It makes me feel like Achilles.The flying +copper arrow+ hits you in the right foot from behind, tearing the muscle through your ☼bronze greaves☼!

Actually, that's a better name than most of what my dwarves come up with. What the heck is "Cavedrop" (or something like that) supposed to mean?

A strike in the heart does not strike a foe down. It results in them bleeding to death. "Struck down" is for brain damage, decapitation, and bisection.
I had my first great success with a +iron two-handed sword+.
I've recently become a fan of wrestling things until I break a limb, letting them pass out, then walking among the unconscious foes stabbing them in the brain with my large knife. You have to break both an archer's limbs before they stop using their bows/crossbows though. :-\

Yes you are right, thanks for pointing that out.
i use a bag full with socks from my victims .What is up with you and socks?
Socks are a perfectly legitimate form of trophy hunting :Pi use a bag full with socks from my victims .What is up with you and socks?
Recently my weapon was a bag full of rocks.Biological dwarven lightsaber?
A few minutes down the road i was killing everything with a Rattlesnake corpse.
That thing is the shit!
How did you get a dragon bone longsword?
The Ayn Rand quote however... :PWat yo sayin bout mai Ayn Rand qwote, dood? :P
So, no answers to my question (For reference, I asked if weapons can be named in adventure mode by getting enough kills)?
In answer, no. No they can't. Sorry.Damn. Oh well. Thanks anyways.
I'm not a fan of Rand. Normally, I wouldn't care what a person likes to read, but I've had bad experiences with Rand fanboys, and it seems a lot of other people I met have too. Ż\_(ツ)_/ŻI can respect that. Don't worry, I am not some shitty fanboy. To be honest, Rand is not my favorite, but I do like the quote.
I usually use iron lonwswords, but I prefer my modded fighting pick now. Probably the most OP melee weapon I've ever devised (contact area of a monomolecular slicing knife for the spike) and even silver, the worst weapon material, can punch holes right through iron helmets. Several goblins learned this the hard way.
I'm thinking of doing this in adventurer mode for shits and giggles:Sounds like a great idea! (Also thank you for reminding me of the name of that mod.)
An adventurerer that carries a few logs around with him and throws them at enemies to kill via caber tossing. Maybe hold some of those logs in his hand to bludgeon anything that gets too close. Though to get the logs I'd either have to start in dorf mode, make a small fort near on of the human towns and chop down all the trees and abandon, or see if I can do it in Wanderer's Friend.

This is the kind of thing that made me want to play this game.
I've just discovered that you can disarm enemies and keep their weapons for yourself. My new adventurer's goal is to rip away a goblin overlord's weapon and throw it at them, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing apart the brain.This will happen more often than you expect it to...even by DF standards.

I once went insane and duel-weilded bandit undies during a livestream. Mostly just bruised, but still. Just imagine....

A silver spear. Frustratingly ineffective sometimes, but with persistence it gets the job done.

I have no clue how he's going to fight a colossus with it, though.

IKWYM, but... ;)
I collect megabeast eggs and throw them at people, or use them as melee weapons. Once I knocked a dragon's skull inwards using its unhatched offspring 0:)
Halberd in dominant hand. Kitchen knife in off hand. I usually do most of the damage with the halberd and then go for the kill with the knife, so that my legends screen says "struck down xyz with a bronze boning knife" etc.lowbart gestures!
I've started collecting knives for throwing, too.
*The spinning iron slicing knife strikes the goblin lasher in the left upper leg, bruising the fat and chipping the bone!*
*The goblin lasher is knocked down and falls over backwards.*
*The goblin lasher passes out from the pain.*
Actually, you can use wine as a weapon now. You can drink it too!
Very dwarven.

I love how you see drinking as a secondary usage of wine.
After watching One Piece, I have been inspired to violently kick people to death.
Originally, I was going to try and wield three swords, but then I found out that wasn't possible.

It is if you give beards the [GRASP] token.
Halberd. Takes limbs off like a battleaxe, stabs through chitinous exoskeleton like a spear.
I don't know why, but I love halberds. They're just so... Useful.
Also, I've noticed that halberds use the Hammer skill.

When you bash with them, you mean? I have not noticed this, and they certainly do not use it when you slash or thrust. They definitely train my axe skill most of the time, but I have not run an empirical test with their other use modes.
The weapons is still a sword. Its different smashing a face with the hilt of a sword than with the pommel of a halbred or the head of a hammer. Its the same style of attack, namely aimed at causing blunt damage, but the movements and even the mental process behind using that attack would be different.I don't know why, but I love halberds.

Yeah, halberds definitely use the axe skill for edged attacks. I've played 90% of this adventurer with a halberd and he went from Accomplished to Grand Master axeman. It's possible that bashing uses the hammer skill though. I know that crossbows do. Most misc objects use "striking" but actually it would make sense since the attack command is "strike [enemy] with [item]" vs "bash [enemy] with pommel of [weapon]" when using a halberd, sword, bow, etc.
My signature weapon is a chest filled with corpses
How heavy does said bag get?
Are bags and chests still hammerspace? Because slabs in a metal chest would be the most Overpowered thing ever.To be fair, they do have limits. I do have a dick of a time fitting meat into bags. But a slab should fit into a chest.
Yes.... I must go raid every tower and vault!Are bags and chests still hammerspace? Because slabs in a metal chest would be the most Overpowered thing ever.To be fair, they do have limits. I do have a dick of a time fitting meat into bags. But a slab should fit into a chest.
Backpacks, however, are technically hammerspace, but only when your hands are full.Your hands are hammerspace when you remove items from your backpack. I must see if you can attack with each item in your hands, or only each hand.
better slab harvesting visiting tomb complexes.Style points.
Whips.Heeey... you busy later?
Bypass the rod entirely and it's dwarfier.Whips.Heeey... you busy later?
On topic: I prefer mauls. Nothing more dwarfy than a block of metal on the end of a rod.
Modded beards to have [GRASP]Show me the magic of this please.
I was going to go around slashing people with my beard-sword, but then...
Things got a little out of hand, and I ended up throwing EVERYTHING I HAD at a Hydra, before punching and pulping its upper body WITH MY BEARD

I use my own armor as a weapon. I take a piece off and beat the enemy to death. its fun because of the risk that comes from removing a part of your armor. c':

Ah, see I just beat people with their own armor. Much more effective. Helmets and gauntlets are the best.
wow I've never seen a decorated one before.No, my vault was filled with high quality decorated goods.
did you make it in fortress mode somehow?
In DF 2012, I always used to go unarmed. Specifically, I went legged. I would kick everyone around in the gut until they were stuck retching and vomiting on the ground. Then, I went around kicking their skulls in one by one.
I was going for dagger and spear to impale enemies and then slash their throats.
It wasn't very efficient, clothes deflected dagger. I'm going to try sword and spear next time. Or stun them with lash and then finish with sword.
A dagger is a knife fighting weapon with a very sharp point designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon.
I like spears as a weapon but they're pretty much useless compared to the other weapons.
The Scythe is a truly beautiful thing. (Note: This is for Masterwork 6.1).
As far as standard DF goes, I'm trying quite hard to make an adventurer who excels at kicking. Of course, the first enemy I encountered after making my first try was a werewolf... Which did not go well.
(apparently dwarves have Wolverine claws as nails).
The longsword. it slashes, bashes, stabs, and pommels!Hells yeah
I throw hammers.
