[edit] Rope/Chain

Someone has said that the rope and chaing are furniture. Rope is a finished good. I am not certain about chain, but I will check before changing the article. --Geofferic 19:24, 20 November 2007 (EST)

The chain is constructed under the 'furniture' heading of the metalsmith's forge. It's also 'built' in location the same way a table or door is. However, it's built with the metal crafter skill and is decorated by the 'encrust finished goods' option in the jeweler's workshop. I guess that makes it a finished good. I'll change it in the article. --Mzbundifund 19:43, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Is there a definitve rule about what is furniture vs finished goods vs what-have-you? I'm going based on it being used inside of another object (like to make a well) and where it is stored. I know that rope is stored in the finished good storage area, I'm not sure about chain.

I'd suggest if dwarves stick it in a furniture stockpile, it's furniture. If they put it in a finished goods stockpile, it's finished goods. Rkyeun 13:44, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Weapon Capabilities?

Does anyone know wether or not chain is used as a whip during combat, or as just an improvised unskilled item? --Heliopios 13:28, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Well, since there is no "whipsdwarf" profession, I'm guessing it wouldn't even register as a proper weapon. Probably unarmed, if anything. AlexFili 06:21, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
