40d Talk:Legendary artifact

What are some of the things that dwarfs can make into artifacts? Diabl0658 03:59, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Any item that your dwarves can craft and has a quality modifier can be made into artifacts. This includes armor, clothing, weapons, all kinds of crafts, furniture, cut gems and whatnot. Notable exceptions include coins(dunnae have quality modifiers), buildings(aint items) and babies(those rascals!). Bars, blocks, raw glass and other such base materials have no quality modifier and cannot be artifacts. I've never seen or heard about legendary meals, drinks and cloth/thread, so I think they can't be artifacts either. Though dwarves will say that they've eaten a legendary meal, when they've consumed a masterpiece meal. Noctis 06:02, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Ive heard of someone creating a artifact meal and almost having it rot away before getting it into the food stockpile Diabl0658 11:00, 1 December 2007 (EST)

On #bay12games, there was some question about artifacts being destroyed by magma. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Also ways to destroy artifacts which aren't listed: Trading, dumping in magma vent (the floorless bottom seems to count as chasm), and dropping a bridge on it. Rkyeun 02:10, 20 January 2008 (EST)

I can't imagine anything not made of a magma-proof base material *not* being destroyed by any significant immersion in magma. --Edward 20:29, 20 January 2008 (EST)

And yet because it's an artifact, it may have a special flag that prevents specifically that. Can anyone confirm non-magma-proof artifact destruction in magma? Rkyeun 11:52, 24 January 2008 (EST)

Furniture

All right, so what can I do with a legendary lace agate hatch cover?GarrieIrons 03:20, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Same thing as 90% of Artis. Sell it or Build it in a Noble's room. --Edward 06:04, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Artifacts are not tradeable. --Koltom 08:19, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Really... that's weird then since I would swear that I sold a particularly valuable bracelet after killing off it's creator that was otherwise useless... Being that it was a good amount of time ago (possibly even pre-3D) that I actually *tried* to sell an arti, it's quite likely that time has muddled an attempt to sell into a successful sale. I suppose this somewhat nullifies my previous comment, since it's far less than 90% of artis which are buildable. --Edward 08:46, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Artifact menu

I seem to recall stumbling across a list of the various legendary artifacts I had created. Can anyone tell me how to get to it again?

If you're talking about current artifacts in a given fortress, you get a new menu option once you've produced atleast one in that fortress. (lowercase L) --Edward 21:59, 22 January 2008 (EST)

much better --NateAustin 17:36, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Trade

Is it possible to trade legendary artifacts? I just got a legendary statue and it currently sitting my furniture storage. I 've tried to get my dwarves to bring it to the depot, but it doesnt show up on the trade list. Is it possible? Robje 18:09, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

No, Artifacts are not tradeable. They will not even take them to the depot if they sit in a bin marked for trade. --Koltom 08:20, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Value

The value can be found under the artifact menur "l" what is the maximum calue you have found on an artifact, mine is platnium high boot for 146400? --Corhen
