Terra B Welch Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just curious, are there any items in DST you consider crafting soely due to a skin you have for them? Even if said item is useless or not something you'd normally use? I've wanted to ask this ever since I got my pink winter hat as it made me want to use winter hats again just because it's cute(in my opinion).

NSAiswatchingus Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Honestly, I started using generic spears again when they got skins. Now that the darksword is looking fresh I'm back to using that as I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEX-7O2 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The Bat Bat, I'll use a free one from the ruins but I'd only craft one for the skin. The End is Nigh [Forge Skin], I'll craft it as Wicker even without a WX on the server just to use the skin for a mini sign marking. The Rainhat, not that its completely useless, but I'll craft one with the Floppy skin as Wigfrid. The Moondial, amazing for decorating but quite useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameoAppearance Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Torches. Before Cyclum I couldn't switch to a miner hat fast enough. Sometimes spears. They're still more of a backup weapon for me, but before they got skins I pretty much never used them, I went straight from axes to tentacle spikes and ham bats. I still don't craft grass suits often, unless I'm wandering around in the dragonfly desert before I craft a backpack and have picked up a huge amount of grass, but the Feathered Grass Armor skin makes me look stylish when I do. Marble suits are pretty good anyway for tanking, but I definitely appreciate the Forge reskins. While I do actually use them for their intended purpose, the reason I craft surplus Telltale Hearts and leave them lying around the base instead of focusing on life-giving amulets is because their skins look cool and a big enough pile of them can act as a permanent light source.

fimmatek Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 First, fridges, even if we don't need 3 of them, I make one with all the skins for a complete kitchen (if there are enough gears, ofc). I also use the fashion goggles a lot, even when tams are abundant, because I think it looks really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezaroth Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Not a skin but I always use the Cat Cap, although I also use a mod to make it's sanity as good as a Tam o Shanter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikenobi Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'll keep making non-gold axes and shovels long after I have an alchemy engine and plenty of gold, purely because I love the gorge skins for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I build a lot of useless structures I don’t actually need.. Circus Tents as Wickerbottom for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electroely Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I like both the floppy straw hat and the cowboy straw hat. I'll make either one to wear during summer depending on which character I'm playing. Eyebrella is better, but it doesn't look as fresh. And while log suits are a commonly used item, I find myself picking them over football hats or battle helms mainly because of the look. I could wear both, but if I'm limited on inventory space for a short trip I'd probably just bring roman wood armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since all it does is keep the rain off, I'd use a top hat for that beforehand, but after I got the floppy straw hat skin I wear one sometimes with an umbrella in the rain or just to look nice in the summer, if my inventory's not too full.

Anomen77 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Not exactly useless, but I like wearing the Tam o' Shanter 24/7 even at full sanity because it just looks great with Wigfrid's latest skin. I switched from Beefalo hat / Eyebrella to Puffy vest / Raincoat / Floral Shirt just to be able to have the Tam equipped all the time. I just love the looks. I also make decorative fences everywhere now that they don't look like ****. Previously I would only use them for Gobbler and Pig farms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxel Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nothing special about this because I played with limited resources in single player. If I apply this on DST I can imagine to use skins on less used items more when the better items aren't aviable... which is against OP's question.
