This article is about an older version of DF. |
Dwarves in Template:L will create legendary artifacts, unique, "named" items which are of unsurpassable quality (and often Template:L as well). An artifact is the ultimate expression of a Template:L desires, fears, memories and hopes in art form, and each dwarf will produce at most only one in their lives (or Template:L trying). Dwarves that create an artifact immediately gain enough Template:L to boost them to Template:L level in the affected Template:L unless they were Template:L.
Dwarves drop artifacts in the Template:L as soon as they are made. They cannot be traded, but most can be used just like any item of its type. A list of all artifacts that the fortress has created can be seen by pressing l.
Sometimes dwarves will grow particularly attached to weapons and armor, and if they become attached enough, they will name their armor/weapons. The armor/weapon will then be listed as an artifact. What causes dwarves to name their weapons is unknown - time alone will suffice (though it may take a very long time), but slaying an important historical figure such as a Template:L will often be enough.
Artifacts can be stolen by thieves. This does not appear to affect the happiness of the artifact's creator.
