The Smothering Pit is a mine in the south of the Nomad Highlands, rich in Tin Ore. It lies south of Umber Hollow. A Shroud Root grows in the pit, guarded by a Fell Thunderbrute boss. The mine has several levels with houses built into them. One of those houses is locked and hides the Sunny Loungewear Boots in its loft.

Unique Loot
Tin Ore veins run through the pit, and tin is one of the key metals of the Highlands. The Sunny Loungewear Boots lie in an ornate chest on the second level. There, a house with a light above its door stands next to a darker house. Inside the dark house, a Grappling Hook reaches the loft with the chest. The matching Sunny Loungewear Garb is buried in an ornate chest in the Shroud south of the pit.

The Shroud Root is guarded by the boss Fell Thunderbrute. Defeating it clears the way to cut the root down with an axe for a skill point.
