Wendys new flower crown should have a global benefit, even when potions are not equipped.

While I like the state of the current flower crown, it comes with a significant uphill battle by taking up Wendys headgear slot. While the potions effects are nice, both in and out of combat, in combat it has too much opportunity cost, competing woth items such as the celestial crown.

So, I believe the flower crown should have a global effect aside from potions, albeit weaker than its counterparts. For the item to focus on combat, 40% damage reduction would make it usable in many situations, while not eclipsing dedicated armours like football helm or thulecite crown.

Alternatively, the crown could give sanity equal to a top hat, giving Wendy stable sanity when combined with her sanity drain reduction. 

Additionally this gives the item use for other players, when a wendy is not in the vicinity.

genuine question bc i couldnt tell when i was testing: if you equip the mourning glory crown, drink a potion, and unequip it, do you retain the effect? if so i can see this being used in a group of like 4 people for very little cost. i agree a sanity boost would be nice either way tho as it'd be an incentive to keep it on outside of battle

Apparently not, which is probably a bug/something difficult to implement, which is why its not a thing rn

I believe that is intended, they have specified code deleting the buff when the wreath is unequipped.

Though when you re-equip the wreath, the buff doesn't reapply and is just gone, I don't know if that's intended or just an oversight.

Yes. The former is intended so you need the wreath equipped to gain a buff. The latter would require the wreath having a separate memory for its buff, which i assume it doesnt have.
