Improving gloves

Postby Mr_Bober » Tue Apr 21, 2020 1:21 pm

Let's talk about the 3L slot for a moment. There are 6 items that fill that slot, 4 of which are combat related. The remaining two are the poor man's gloves, which serve a purpose, and the silk gloves which are only aesthetic.

But what if, instead of having a generic pair of gloves, we had several? They could grant different bonuses.

A few ideas:
- Hunter's gloves: an improved version of the poor man's gloves, they protect you from taking damage when picking up hedgehogs, crabs, and jellyfish, and from seal finger.
- Work gloves: they lower (or eliminate) the chance of getting quicksilver poisoning when crafting stuff with it.
- [Profession] gloves: they give a speed bonus to crafting specific items. E.g. Carpenter's would make boards/blocks faster, Cook's would speed up bakery, and so on.

I'm not saying to add those kinds of gloves specifically, but it would be nice to have more options for that slot, especially for those who don't engage in combat.

Alternatively, simply add a gilding slot to gloves. But I'd much rather see different gloves with different bonuses, than having another random gilding slot.

We have cutthroat knuckles. Not so much a glove, but does go in that slot. (One of the combat items referenced in the first post.)

Gloves to improve the speed/output of gathering/harvesting berries: Oblepiha Gloves.

These are hard leather gloves (to protect from natural spikes) equipped with metal "claws" on the palm or at the fingertips to allow for quick berry gathering.
