Cryptica

If I had a nickle for every time my dwarves got taken up in a strange mood to make an artifact-level bucket, I'd have two nickles.

Which isn't a lot, but what am I supposed to do with artifact buckets?

@cryptica Put them on pedestals? "BEHOLD, MY BUCKETS"

@Lewie_Kong I have a religion in my fort that wanted a temple but I wasn't able to get it up to the desired value fast enough, you're right, I shoulda given them a bucket to look at 😸

@Lewie_Kong

BEHOLD, MY BUCKETS

(They're both still sitting in the workshop because the dwarves don't know what to do with them either)

@cryptica Depending on their value I assume you could actually just chuck them in a temple?

@cryptica Wait jewelers workshop? Are they encrusted with gems?

@Lewie_Kong The *base material* is gems!

(the image of he orange tree is made in cave spider silk)

@cryptica Whaaaaaat? That's wild. Also ~9000 across both?! AND in the same fortress?

@Lewie_Kong That's also just the buckets, this is all the artifacts in my fort currently 😸

I'm in autumn, year 104

@cryptica My current fortress has like eight artifact scepters lol. Not even training any useful skills

@nytpu Do the sceptres at least have images of themselves for decoration?!? 😸
