==Produced Items==
Through a bit of disassembly diving, I've determined exactly what moody dwarves are capable of producing. All items have a 'probability' of 100 except when indicated otherwise (it randomly selects one of the entries, and if rand(100) is greater than the probability, it picks another one), and entries with "each" occur as individual items with their own weight, while "any" are a single entry with a collective (and limited to what your civilization is capable of making):

:Are you certain that weaponsmith moods can lead to exotic weapons?  I've seen bowyers make exotic weapons, but I've never seen, not even in somebody's screenshot, an exotic melee weapon. -- [[User:Vasiln|Vasiln]] 00:38, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

::According to the code, it simply adds WEAPON:NONE as a possibility for weaponsmith moods - my guess is that it then goes through the same logic as with normal item creation to select a random subtype within the constraints of the current civilization. Moody bowyers explicitly permit each ranged weapon type, which is why 2/3 of all boywer moods give either a bow or a blowgun (unless, presumably, the dwarf had a preference for a particular type). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I've just located this function in version 0.23.130.23a, and it's almost exactly the same - it even had the '''same bug''' with metal/bone helmets (which was fixed in version 0.34.06). I also noticed that, in 23a, it would compare the candidates to the dwarf's Item preferences, and if any matched, it would randomly select one of the matching items - this would seemingly be the only case in which a moody weaponsmith (or bone carver) could produce a "foreign" weapon (assuming that dwarves can have preferences for foreign weapons, anyways). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 
 
Accurate as of version 0.34.11. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:52, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
- Does this mean that gemstone anvils are no longer possible?
 
:They've '''never''' been possible in '''any''' version. Anvils can only be made by moody Blacksmiths, and moody Blacksmiths always produce an item made of metal. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 03:04, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

::To be fair, it probably '''was''' correct back then - I'm suspecting that it wasn't until 0.34's justice revamp that fell mood murder became socially unaccepable.

== Adamantine cloth ==
  
 
Clothiers sometimes use not only plant/silk/yarn cloth, but woven adamantine too. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=87753.0 An example.] 17:53, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

:About adamantine cloth being used in artifact, the wiki says that adamantine cloth will be used first. But I had a dwarf that used a cave spider cloth (hadn't adamantine cloth at the time). He needed more clothes, so I ordered one adamantine cloth to be made, and one pig tail afterwards. The (possessed) dwarf took the pig tail cloth, and not the adamantine, despite the adamantine being available first.The mooded dwarf is a stonecrafter (already fey mooded), and doesn't have a preference for any particular clothes nor adamantine. The artifact made was a raw adamantine crown. I can provide additional details, although I'm not sure I saved at this particular moment. Should we remove this ? (And can someone confirm ?)--[[User:PanH|PanH]] 03:58, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 
* I'm guessing that the base item is the one that they'll favor adamantine for, while decoration items can vary or be subject to the dwarf's preferences. In your case, the stonecrafter's base item was stone, hence grabbing raw admantine, while the cloth was just to decorate it with. I've had moody smiths start by grabbing adamantine then mixing it up with other materials even when more adamantine wafers were readily available, the resulting artifact's base material being adamantine. At the same time I've had individual examples of the occasional clothier, smith, crafter, etc grabbing additional adamantine materials to decorate with. This suggests that the base material is either coded to favor adamantine first if possible, or it simply picks the most valuable material available. Either way, add-ons to the initial item vary according to the dwarf's preference.--[[Special:Contributions/184.21.69.62|184.21.69.62]] 16:24, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 
** That's exactly what happens - if the mood's base item is either a '''bar''' or a piece of '''cloth''' and you have at least one "deep" material version of that item (in this case, Adamantine metal), then the mood will require that the mood's base item be made out of the closest matching "deep material" item of that type (e.g. if you modded in an extra "mithril" material and had both Adamantine cloth and Mithril cloth, then your moody Clothier will require either 1-3 pieces of Adamantine cloth or 1-3 pieces of Mithril cloth, depending on which one was closer at the time the mood started). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 03:04, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
 
 
== Possessed Item Request ==
 
I have a dwarf currently laying claim to a craft workshop, possessed, and he's only requesting one material, bones. However, he took a stack of 24 bones and is now sat, demanding more, despite having plenty in a nearby stockpile. Any thoughts?
 
--[[User:Sepheris|Sepheris]] 16:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 
:He probably wants more bones. A single stack, no matter how large, only counts as '''one''' item for moods. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:16, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 
::Likewise, it appears to require a bone stack, not an individual bone. --[[User:Mkienenb|Mike Kienenberger]] 21:31, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 
 
==Artifact not set before beginning of construction?==
 
The section 'Caveats' states that "''The item to be built is not set at the beginning of the mood. Saving (even after a dwarf has begun to gather materials) will allow you to reload and the result may be a different artifact''". In my experience, the result is always the same, no matter how many reloads and changes in base materials. If he's going to make you a stone jug, it's jug you'll get, whether from sandstone or native gold. The passage is therefore misleading and should be deleted from the article, in my opinion. [[User:Shorr|Shorr]] 21:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 
:First of all, a moody dwarf can '''never''' make a stone jug - the above tables are accurate as of version 0.34.11, so no moody dwarf can ever produce a Tool (and jugs are tools). Second, are you '''absolutely''' certain that your moody dwarf does not have a '''preference''' for one of the items his mood permits him to create? Because if he does (and he only has one matching preference), then it's highly likely (probably 100% guaranteed, based on behavior from older versions) to produce that type of item. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 
::I did some more experimentation. Yes, you are right, most of my moody dwarves did have a preference for the items they created. I was just so angry at them giving me cabinets and weapon racks when I needed grates and hatch covers that I thought of some useless item, like a jug. Now when I got another dwarf with no such preference, she did produce me different item types after reloads (the name of all the artifacts still was the same, curiously :-)). Sorry for the irrelevant comment and thanks for the corrections to the article - this will clarify things for newbees like me :-) [[User:Shorr|Shorr]] 06:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
==Waxworker==
 
A Great Waxworker/Novice Tanner just claimed a Leather works and made a leather buckler and became a legendary tanner. This does not seem to contradict the page, I just found it..novel enough to post. --[[User:Old Ancient|Old Ancient]] 21:53, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
 
:Not surprising - wax worker isn't moodable, but tanner is. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 03:04, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
