Idea: Gloves for miners, landscapers and tree cutters

[Dimlight]

In real life, almost every hard labor job has you wear gloves, otherwise you can really damage your hands, and they just make the job easier.

If we can add more gloves besides lynx claws for fighters, silk gloves for looks and poor man's gloves for reducing damage, it would be a big plus.

Miner's Gloves can be made with, say a bar of Wrought Iron/Steel and some dried Boreworm hides x2
They would either increase base Str similar to how lynx claws give base agility, or have it stricktly increase your mining strength by an additional 0.5 on top of the stone axes 1.0, tinkers 1.5, and pickaxe's 2.0

Landscaper's Gloves can be made with leather, hide, or a specific hide like molehide gloves. (Or you can just make the poor man's gloves do this)
They would reduce the stamina depletion while you have the landscaper menu open

Lumberjack's Gloves could be made with leather, some of the tough roots and maybe a specific hide like squirl hide, something tree related (or you can just make the poor man's gloves do this)
They would slightly increase the speed to chop trees, similar how metal axe is faster than stone, and woodsmans if faster than metal. It could be like a .5% extra tick on top of the base, nothing crazy. Maybe even reduce the stamina cost isntead of the speed increase.

These are just a few ideas for new gloves, though there can be many more.

gloves dont increase your working speed, and if they do its only indirectly, gloves prevent or lessen the impact of workplace accidents,
gloves should protect you from nicks and knacks while chopping wood, or pricking yourself on an needle,

it would really be nice though if gloves where an reliable way of not crippeling yourself while touching crabs,
crab is included in an lot on nice recipies now, but the only way still , is too make an alt, or run around with 50%hhp and no dex all game

Hard leather gloves that elemenates chances of getting crab caress would be welcome for sure.

Homeboy is trying to change the game and you're talking about crab catching.

[Mysia]

even with steel gaunlets the crabs pinch u xD

silk gloves should have purpose

i rarely see people who are actually working hard wearing gloves irl

if anything they slow you down because you lose some level of dexterity

women usually wear gloves to protect their soft hands and nails or bcuz they dont want to get dirty

I wonder how Lynx Claws give agility with your logic, bulky claw things making you react faster, "omg so realistic"

I wonder if troll belts really hold like 16 items on them in real life, or if bulky wings really increase your reaction speed.

It's a game and I am talking about gaming terms, not real-life terms here, it would make sense to have more variants of gloves for different working classes. If you wanted to contribute to the conversation then you could have just added something about your crabbers' gloves, which would be a good idea. Make a pair of gloves that 100% prevent crab caress and hedgehog pricks. Could involve hard leather, maybe wrought iron/steel to make it a little later game, or require bear hide/boreworm hide, something that is not available super early world.


plus, the people who normally dont work with gloves usually are in poverty or in a lower-class environment and can't afford them, or dont care about self-harm like most people this generation. You don't need "dexterity" as you put it to aim and swing a pickaxe at a wall, but gloves would provide better grip, allowing for a harder swing with more force as well as absorb some aftershock. You dont need "dexterity" to swing an axe at a tree or drive a shovel into the ground. This generation lacks a bit of common sense.

Bruh I solder all the time with gloves, touch all kinds of random stuff with gloves only cuz people are gross.

In game though would be nice to have a way to mitigate crab caress and other stuff.

bro , i understand you find the game too be hard and tedious, maybe you wanna swamp games, or quit bitching on the forum,
but it stands that neither do you need hyperspecialised gloves cause "hurr durr" choping trees so hard" just necause you havent seen how fast treechoping already is with lumberjack 150convienence and woodsmans axe,

yet we have an few "workplace accidents" in haven, splinters,crabs,birdlung,beeskeps,sealfingers etc. and the fact that gloves wich should act as protective gear for precicely that. only work around 1-50% of time and even if they work, you still get an wound you have too treat or suffer for weeks potentially,
