What about gloves?

[DwerBomb]

You could wear them in the hand slot to keep yourself warm (just like in real life!).

 

Leather Gloves:

 

Tab: Dress

Tier: Alchemy Engine

Crafting: 2 pig skins, 3 beefalo wool.

Durability: 15 days

 

Insulation Points: 55

Sanity Restored: +1.5/min.

 

 

If you hit enemies with them, you will deal the same damage and make the same attack as if ou hit them with your fists.

While I like the idea, reducing durability per punch just seems a bit silly from a gameplay standpoint.

Ok, I'll edit it.

It would work, but I think it would be mostly useless for the fact that during winter (and most of dont starve) your constantly doing things that you need your tools for. Taking off the gloves every 5 seconds would get tiring, and just having them on when traveling conflicts with needing to use the walking cane or the lazy staff.

 

I think it would be neat though if there was some type of glove element, maybe another equip slot. You might as well add shoes in there. Perhaps there could be subslots for clothing that would appear when you hover over your clothing tab on the gamebar. With something like that shoes and gloves could be implemented making more sense. I think it would actually open up alot of opportunity for new game play items and such. For example their could be gloves that revolve around magic weaponry, warmth, rings could be used with the effects of jewels like amulets do, shoes could adjust walking speed and also add warmth, and much more.

Im just going on about an idea though, but I think personally unless there is a set of game mechanics like I mentioned above, just adding gloves for the hand slot would be rather useless. Especially if they are just for warmth.

W...well. That's a big and true reply. Ehm... [*~*]

(I didnt think about the walking cane )

Eh, I'm not really a big fan of adding a whole bunch of new slots. If they did something like that, they'd have to add a whole lot of new threats that require you to wear things in order to preserve game balance. Otherwise, they'd basically just be making the game a whole lot easier with the positive effects you could get from the new slots. It could work, but it could also just over complicate the equipping system.

I agree, but that doesn't mean the idea needs to be scrapped entirely. The gloves could still be useful if they could do more than just keep you warm. For example:

• Spiked gloves (crafted with hounds teeth?) would also allow you to deal damage (as much as a spear?)
• Some sort of mechanical glove (involving mad science) could allow you to chop trees
• Shadow gloves would shoot out shadow hands, allowing you to harvest and pick up things from afar

Well, maybe that last one wouldn't need to keep you warm to be useful, but you get the idea.

I feel that wearing the gloves in the tool slot would be relatively unconventional and frankly unrealistic. In real life I can usually hold tools while wearing gloves. While shadow hands and such would be awesome it would just be weird chopping down a tree with your fists (Minecraft reference?) So it would probably need it's own slot if it were to be implemented.

But maybe more overpowered gloves (such as the shadow hands) would go in a the glove slot and the tool slot whenever equipped therefore making them a bit less overpowered.

And if gloves and maybe shoes were added..

Why aren't we getting Wilson some pants?
