Note: The Arsenal Dwarf no longer exists as of version .10 and onwards.

The Arsenal Dwarf is an administrative noble that manages the equipment changes of your military squads. The position becomes available only after your population exceeds 20 dwarves. Until this position becomes available, your dwarves will simply equip whatever you tell them to right away. Once the slot on the nobles screen opens, the military (and your hunters) will not carry out equipment changing orders until they have been approved by the Arsenal Dwarf.

They will make no demands and require only a meager office to work in.

When selecting a dwarf for the position from the noble screen, both the record keeper and organizer skills are highlighted as relevant.

Remember, your Arsenal Dwarf can't approve equipment changes if he's busy doing something else, like record keeping, so some micromanaging may be prudent if he has other responsibilities.
