So badass.
EDIT: I just realized that this artifact is worth 1/3 of my fortresses value
EDIT2: I got another one, this one's a shoe. This is out of control, in the best possible way.

This is getting a little crazy. I have so much adamantine in my fortress now that every strange mood is using it. I now have an adamantine left gauntlet, an adamantine shoe, an adamantine amulet, and an adamantine door, all artifact quality.
Good luck when the goblins inevitably hear of your wealth...
Adamantine armor, no less. Someone's left hand is going to be very well protected.
... I have never even seen raw admantine ;_;
It sparkles like nothing else you have seen and the shear on a blade is a molecule thick. When your army is covered in it you believe how a dwarf could slay a god.
Dig really far down, you will find it.
Wow that sounds epic.
I love how it has an image of its self on it. Whenever that happens it makes me laugh.
What's really mind-blowing is an artifact with multiple images of itself on itself. Like Planepacked.
Nice.
My stockpile screen says I have an adamantite longsword, but when I try to zoom to it, i get pointed to solid rock 30 z-levels below my fortress. I'm glad I backed up my save file before I tried digging down to it. It wasn't pretty.....
Yeah. HSF is always fun. I dug out a giant adamantine vein over about 15 z-levels until I was just above the magma sea. I'm afraid of digging it more and encountering fun. I'll probably dig the rest of it out when I finish crafting up my adamantine weapons and armor.
I had fun an hour ago when some long forgotten mining operation finally got workers on it and discovered a nice adamantine vein which went deeper than expected.
I just find it odd that an object so many levels deep, in an area i was no where near mining, showed up in my stockpiles.
It's a bug, revealing hidden secrets. Be cautious.
It's a trap!
I've only found adamantine in pockets between magma. I typically mine it out and leave a layer behind between my mined area and the magma (so my dwarves don't roast). Is there a way to get the rest of it without certain death?
If you have any lying around most of your artifacts will contain it. Dwarfs have a love for the stuff that can only be described as a mild form of insanity.
I love the weird artifacts dwarves come up with (adamantine shoe?). My personal favourite was a bin made from the corpse of a dwarf murdered by someone in a fell mood. It wasn't worth that much, but damn.
That must have been some sort of crazy grudge your carpenter held.
