Seasonal and damage protection for enlightened crown?

[Iino]

As of right now I can only use the enlightened crown in autumn, in winter I need the beefalo hat and in spring and summer I need the eyebrella. What's the point of getting the final headgear in the game if I can't use it in 3/4 seasons? I propose that the spores in the crown should give it seasonal protection based on their color, so red=heating, blue=cooling, green=wetness, and maybe if you shove moonleams in it you get a certain percent of damage protection (capping at 50%?). Obivously the protection value cannot replace the beefalo hat/eyebrella, but I feel like a tier 2 protection and 65 percent wetness protection will be good enough for me. What do y'all think?

Hibearnation vest, rain coat and floral shirt do not exist.

At the stage where you can beat CC and get the crown it just isn't that good. If you beat CC then sanity probably isn't too big of an issue and light sources aren't either. The bonus attack is cool but I would much rather have a helmet on while fighting (since kiting isn't doable on console)

Making it a customizable hat in this way is a really fun idea i think. 

These spore attributes could then also be extended to the funcaps to make them better. Red funcap = winter insulation, blue=summer, green=wetness. Sounds really nice imo.

Enlightenment crows is the worst head gear change my mind.

The crown having 25% damage reduction is nice imo. It's a mediocre loot from a final tier raid boss.

Enlightened crown is good if you have a base in caves so you can use it 2/4 seasons as it is really nice not having to deal with summer and having permanent light there. If you aren't planning to spend a large amount of your time in caves i wouldn't even bother getting the crown.

enlightened crown is amazing for sailing. Infinite light goes a long way when you have limited resources.
And when you have the seasonal thermal fish, you never have to worry about temperature. And just wear a dang raincoat when it rains.

You have to get creative lategame. Thermal stones, star/moon caller staves, scaled furnaces, ice boxes, luxury fans, fire nettles... You also have the option to switch characters. Wurt has a very easy time in winter and spring with scorching sunfish. Ice breams don't last quite as long in summer, but now that tin fishing bins can be placed on docks, you can place them virtually anywhere on the map to swap out your thermal fish. Wickerbottom can turn off the rain in spring and make it rain during summer to cancel the sandstorm, removing the need for desert goggles. WX87 is also a very strong lategame option between the movement speed and thermal and refrigeration circuits, but you really want to keep a rain coat and eyebrella for spring (or switch characters).

That said, I don't wear the crown all the time. It's just not always needed. It's fantastic in the caves and ruins and basically replaces my lantern (though not moggles because of the lazy explorer cast range), but on the surface you can activate the moonstorms and enjoy a permanent and infinitely better light source. Overall it feels like a balanced item.

The crown is amazing. Maybe it's just my bias as an eternal Wilson main, but hot thermal + fully grown beard is absolutely sufficient for winter and  the crown helps out immensely with the long nights. If you want to argue not everyone plays Wilson, just make a fire nettles farm and carry those around in ice chester .. they regrow infinitely even during winter for no effort from you and trivialise the cold (one of the best farming crops). Summer is cavetime anyway where the crown shines even more, so that would leave only spring with limited crown usage. Making the crown resist everything only limits future design space for bossdrops.

while Wurt's perk is great, you can also just switch to Warly and spam Hot Dragon Chili Salad in the winter/early spring.
