RPG Boots and Hats, Boot upgrades

Jason9896 commented 4 years ago

Idea to add statistics to wearable hats like permanent skill upgrades such as +1 fishing, or to add small defense or skill modifiers to hats, such as +10 stamina and health.

It will keep the game interesting as long as the modifiers are reasonable, and will give the player an additional reason to buy hats or even wear them.

Alternatively use the crafting menu to upgrade boots with materials.

Upgrade boots crafting recipes, each adding +1 def each

Boots(any) + Copper bar = Heavy (Boot Name) ex: _Heavy Space Boots_with an additional +1 defense added

Boots(any) + Iron bar = Reinforced (Boot Name) ex: _Reinforced Space Boots_with an additional +2 defense added

Boots(any) + Gold bar = Tempered (Boot Name) ex: _Tempered Space Boots_with an additional +3 defense added

Boots(any) + Iridium bar = Powerful(Boot Name) ex: _Powerful Space Boots_with an additional +4 defense added

Boots(any) + Prismatic Shard = add something special, like +10 health

Beyond that, it may be possible to simply add combat and statistic upgrades to the newly create-able hats in Emily's house.

I've always wished that hats did more than decorate your head.

I am currently working on a mod to make hats have buffs and special effects. Any ideas would be appreciated. 😄

Here are a few ideas, though some of them would require intense C#, perhaps even Harmony:

Totem Mask = chance of not consuming a Warp Totem on use
Dinosaur Hat, Hair Bone = work like Slime Charmer Ring but for Pepper Rex
Wearable Dwarf Helm = special reaction from the Dwarf
Pirate Hat = increased chance of finding treasure while fishing
Skeleton Mask = resistance to bone projectiles from Skeletons
Hard Hat = buff to Defense but only against flying enemies

Here is the repo if anyone is interested in contributing to or following the development of the hat mod. Deluxe Hats: https://github.com/domsim1/stardew-valley-deluxe-hats-mod

Originally, I intended to leave DomSim to work on this- but then I saw his version was likely abandoned, as it has been several months since he posted about it. As such, I took it upon myself to fill the void, and make a mod for this idea. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7096
