Having dwarves set to clean doesn't help, unless they need some time (-like a season) of standing around idle.

As for MrSidNet, artifacts seem pretty useless to me generally. Your dwarf will get stronger from carrying them around, but half the time it doesn't matter because of all the exp. they get from building it. Sometimes (as happened with my bowyer) they'll create artifact weapons which should be equal (possibly superior?) to masterworks. Can't assign them to a different dwarf though.

Now 2 more for me:
4) Will dwarves ever use (narrow) or other such equipment?
5) If not, is it possible to have a smelter smelt strictly those types of items?

In a way it makes sense. A novice would make a fatal mistake in a sparring session, one that'd probably make his partner part company with their head.

Yeah, imagine your sparring partner to be on par with a Fallout supermutant and someone gave him a big heavy death-stick and told him to play fight with you...and uh, this guy has never even held such a weapon in his hands before, let alone knows how to use it.

So if he connects and you aren't Terminator tough decked out in the best armor this side o' the demon pits.... ?

With food it might've gotten eaten but that many drinks gone that fast seems impossible. I suspect they might have been converted back to plants for some reason.

Note: I was playing with process priority to try to make DF run faster shortly before I noticed this, citing as possible cause.

Awww, how sweet.
