Upgrade gear [bat cape starter]

[Enjoyment_2]

Inspired by this.

We already have stuff made from finished crafted stuff (like foods mde of other food), so I thought it may be not bad idea to make something simillar with gear.
like [novice]bat(cave)-cape + 1kg of slime goo = [advanced] cave cape
+ 4x cave louse chitin = [professional] cave cape
+ 2x boreworm hide = [master] cave cape
+ 1x troll hide = [legedary] cave cape
to make things not so OP (and to keep Caveman credo bonus viable) - let these gear to (animal - 1lvl) not aggro you, like novice - keep you safe from cave rats, advanced - from bats, pro - from slimes etc...
Also consider removing armor from gildable stuff (I saw a lot of ppl who just removes such capes (or boots) into inventory just to not loose it - looks kinda ankward).

The REASON is not to make life in caves easier but to remove unneeded tdium, when your 3 minutes task may turn into some unfunny battle-adventure lasting an hour just because all that pretty underground stuff desided to aggro you by sight. So when one killed a cave habitant of higher tier - any kritter from lower tiers just become annoying, not harder and should be avoidable.

Ability to upgrade gear could be an interesting game mechanic but how would that interact with the current durability system?
