Note that if you don't have an option for and Arsenal Dwarf, it just means your fort isn't big enough to need one yet. Dwarves will equip themselves until your fortress grows too large - just keep an eye on the nobles screen every time you get migrants, and assign an Arsenal Dwarf when you need one.

The Arsenal Dwarf is an administrative Template:L that becomes required to manage your armory after your population hits 20+ dwarves. He sorts and assigns Template:L Template:L, so once the slot on the nobles screen opens, the Template:L will not function properly without him. Until this position becomes required, your dwarves will simply equip whatever you tell them to right away. He makes no Template:Ls and Template:L only a meager Template:L to work in. Like a Template:L, all equipment changes must be processed through him at his office before they are approved.

Note that if you don't have the option for and Arsenal Dwarf yet, just keep an eye on the nobles screen every time you get migrants, and assign an Arsenal Dwarf once the position opens.

  • There have been reports of the Arsenal Dwarf not appearing despite the population criteria being fulfilled; this is a bug. Don't worry, the position will randomly appear later.v0.31.02
  • If your Expedition Leader/Mayor is killed it can cause all unassigned nobles to vanish from the nobles screen. This could cause your arsenal dwarf position (among others) to be unavailable. This is a bug.v0.31.01
  • It may seem like a good idea to have your arsenal dwarf in the military, but he won't be able to hand out equipment while on duty or training, which will fundamentally break your military.
  • Assigning equipment uses the Organizer skill and can take a very long time at low levels of the skill, resulting in dwarves wandering around with the wrong equipment for extended periods. One way to speed this up is to assign the Arsenal Dwarf duties to the manager, who gains Organizer skill relatively quickly through assigning jobs in the manager interface.
