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)

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. Wait for the guy to die and sell it. Or alternatively, death again, and build it in a Noble's room. --Edward 20:39, 22 January 2008 (EST)
