How about an artifact crutch?

One of my old forts had the one-legged Baroness stomping round on a 200,000 dorfbuck gem-encrusted electrum crutch. I only wish toady would bring in eye-patches...

A solid gold warhammer back in 40d, back when gold was rubbish for everything, not just sharp weapons. The legendary weaponsmith was nice, the massive goblin siege that turned up half an hour later not so much.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

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.

Either that or finally add in their artifact powers.

I think gauntlets should give you a bonus to Striker.

ANY mug, especially the wooden ones worth measly 2k UristBucks. Also crafts.

Honorable mention goes to this one jackass who turns my legendary miner into a frackin' Dwarf Leather Shoe. With a picture of Goblins laughing at my dead dorfs.
URIIIIISSSSSTTTTT!!!

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

I got a Hematite Bed once. It was good for making a really nice bedroom but I can't imagine it is comfortable. I suppose the cat leather trumpet someone made just a bit ago is significantly less useful.

Palm scepter. Had a fortress with three artifact palm scepters. The first with an engraving of the founding of the fortress, and the other two with engravings of the first one. Two legendary woodcrafters were thrown in the ocean that fortress, along with one poor bastard who the gods decided to possess.

A few months ago there was a thread about a donkey leather flute. I'll just leave you with that.

The most useless artifact in my current fort is probably the Prase Toy Hammer, menacing with spikes of prase. It's like the guy was just mocking me by making what would have been an awesome weapon (it's even got a cool name), but he had to make it a toy instead of something useful. Fortunately he died in the great goblin siege of 252 - he's now buried in one of the ~80 coffins in my memorial hall.

This guy gets it, the problem with the child torture dungeon is that they weren't set on fire first.

palm blowgun. thats it. nothing fancy. just a palm blowgun, encircled with bands of... you guessed it, palm. at least the maker didn't waste much in material. what he did waste though, was time he could have been making real weapons with.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.
