Artifact crossbow -> weaponsmithing
« on: November 23, 2007, 08:46:00 pm »

I just had a strange mood result in an artifact crossbow, but the dwarf in question gained legendary weaponsmithing, not crossbow-making.

I believe that before the mood, the dwarf had training in weaponsmithing and none in crossbow-making.  So in some ways this may be an expected result.

Perhaps the artifact type is chosen from a set of weapons, and crossbows happen to be in that set?

It surprised me to see this just the same.

That's interesting

I had a dwarf become a legendary bowyer from making a bow.

Metal crossbows are made using weaponsmithing, right? or maybe the mood chose weaponsmithing, and then chose a random weapon, of which crossbows are part of.

Metal crossbows, like wood or bone, use the crossbow-making (bowyer) skill.
