The Arsenal Dwarf is an administrative Template:L that becomes required to manage your armory after your population hits 20+ dwarves. He sorts and assigns Template:L Template:L, so the Template:L of a fort in need of one will not function properly without him. Until this position becomes required, your dwarves will simply equip whatever you tell them to right away. He makes no Template:Ls and Template:L only a meager Template:L to work in. Like a Template:L, all equipment changes must be processed through him at his office before they are approved.

Note that if you don't have an option for and Arsenal Dwarf, it just means your fort isn't big enough to need one yet. Dwarves will equip themselves until your fortress grows too large - just keep an eye on the nobles screen every time you get migrants, and assign an Arsenal Dwarf when you need one.

• There have been reports of the Arsenal Dwarf not appearing despite the population criteria being fulfilled; this is a bug. The position will randomly appear later.^v0.31.01
• If your Expedition Leader/Mayor is killed it can cause all unassigned nobles to vanish from the nobles screen. This could cause your arsenal dwarf position (among others) to be unavailable. This is a bug.^v0.31.01
