New glove type

[shubla]

There should be new glove type from hard leather, this would protect you from getting grab-caressed and also provide some armor.
Kind of middle ground between poor mans gloves and steel gauntlets.

Or a "Fish Spear/Net" or something similar.

Good idea, some spear to hunt crabs and maybe a knife to butcher them without getting hurt.

In case they get enough wear from handling crabs... could be a reasonable sink for hardened leather.

i actually dont see a reason for the gloves to even take wear from handling crabs

if its more costly than just spawning a new character and leveling his survival im still going to use my crabcatcher alt because i have (and will always have, in this instance) better uses for hardened leather.

I think Plate gauntlets for example should arguably protect you from a crab claw, and there should be some hand protection equivalent to Armored Striders that offers more protection than just leather gloves.

What about a specific "animal handling" set of gloves, that protects from crabs, quills, seal finger, etc, at the expense of wear.

Where would be the fun in that?

I don't see why crabs are locked behind unavoidable wounds. There should be a relatively early game solution to that wound since they aren't really out of line with other early game critters in terms of benefits.

Seems pointless, just make them uninteractable entirely except for getting pinched if you try imo. Content wise that's all they amount to for the average player.
