I just got a Glassmaker to go into a fey mood... a glassmaker. I had to build his forge, and the only reason I had glass was a caravan. He then grabs that, my precious freaking Emerald that was to be encrusted into something, and some oak. Oak. You already took my greatest possession, and you take OAK? *facepalm.*

What's better is the only image on this whole item is of a DIFFERENT green glass terrarium, or maybe the thing is engraved on itself. I can't even tell. I'm pretty damn sure it's just a knockoff of a better artifact Green Glass Terrarium. What's worse is I can't even throw the damn thing at the elves without them getting all pissy about the oak. I despise this thing.

Any armor made of non-armorworthy metals.

[Electrode]

Spore tree puzzlebox, decorated with images of circles in adamantine, menacing with spikes of adamantine, hanging loops of adamantine, with an image of the vampire that keeps getting elected mayor every year in adamantine.

OVERSEER IS THROWING A TANTRUM!

Well, here's a little story for you. My weaponsmith/metalsmith grabbed some red steel, third best metal in Genesis. I was saying to myself "Ooh! I wonder if it's going to be a short sword. Or an axe! Or maybe a hammer!".

It was an earring.

[Shook]

Now that is an earring to KILL for. And when i say kill for, i mean kill the guy who made it for doing that. But maybe it could be thrown into someones eye or something!!

Also, my contribution is................

an artifact shoe



I mean really, at least make them in fuggin pairs, then maybe some poor sod will be awarded with the BEST SHOES EVER (read: made of llama wool, useless for armor when you have steel) and be really happy with them (yeah right). Also, artifact mugs. I'm sure we've all had at least one.

[Koronii]

The palm bow... why would he even build that? Is this dwarf an elf or something?

I would place the item in a room and pour magma ontop of it.

[Vanaheimer]

Perfect green Glass Gem.


The glassmaker was magma'd. The artifact was placed in his grave.

The OP's terrarium isn't actually that bad- should have a decent price tag with that emerald. It's a cage, so build it in some room for an instant value boost. I'm pretty sure cages get "has admired <furniture>" happy thoughts, too...

[xdarkcodex]

Llama skin sock or something encrusted with camel bones. What are you going to do with one sock?

[Helgoland]

I was actually quite happy when I got an artifact cage-built it in the dining room, filled it with crocodile hatchlings, smoothed & engraved everything; that was one classy place to eat.
Even had a mist generator; if only the kittenfall had worked... How exactly do you build one of those?

[peskyninja]

Quartizite ring.

[kaijyuu]

Any artifact that can't be used somehow; all trade goods suck.


Kinda wish Toady would add a display case building to vanilla, so we can get something useful out of those damn rings and toy axes.

You can't trade away artifacts anyway, regardless of materials or what race you're trading with.  Dwarves won't even take them to the depot.  If it's a finished good inside a bin, and you mark the bin to be taken to the depot, the dwarves will take the artifact out of the bin and drop it on the floor first.

[Tehsapper]

All armors, weapons and furniture are always welcomed, except maybe boots, because I had an artifact platinum right boot someday. They, as mentioned before, should come in pairs.
Finished goods: only jewelry is fine, because my adventurer can equip it for extra looks points.
My personal record for worst artifact was an yak bone toy axe, with no fine decorations. It was worth 2400 dwarfbucks.
