Forager's Hat

Forager's Hat
Type	Hat
Location	Tailoring

The Forager's Hat is the island's gift to anyone who walks about with a hoe. Digging up a Ginger root on Ginger Island and feeding it into a Sewing Machine with a piece of Cloth makes the hat, and Ginger is one of the easiest things on the island to gather once the boat is running. Fresh roots sprout in the same handful of places every morning, so a single lap of the island supplies the recipe and a stack of leftovers. The hat belongs to a farm that treats foraging as a daily route rather than something done on the way past.

Location

---

Ginger grows wild in several spots on Ginger Island, and new roots appear each day: the dirt patches west of the island farm, the riverbanks around the dig site, the raised ground above it and the ground near the Field Office tent. The green fronds look like spring onions but cannot be pulled by hand, and an axe or pickaxe destroys the plant, so only a hoe will lift the root. A better hoe digs several at once, and tiger slimes in the volcano occasionally drop one as loot.

The Sewing Machine does the rest. Cloth sits in the left-hand slot and the root in the spool slot above the button, and the hat comes out finished. The machine in Emily and Haley's front room is open through the day, and Emily's Rock Rejuvenation request puts a second machine on the farm, which is far more convenient for an island forager hauling crates home.

As with the other tailored hats, luck sometimes skips the recipe entirely: hats of this type drop now and then from monsters, from smashed crates and barrels, from chopped and shaken trees, from artifact spots and from panning spots.

Effect

---

The hat is a soft, battered sunhat in muted colours, the kind that has been sat on and worn anyway. It suits plain shirts and work trousers, and it goes especially well with the island's humid look. The crown covers the hair.

Notes

---

Ginger earns its keep in several other recipes, which is worth weighing before a root goes into the machine. Three roots and a dash of Sugar make Ginger Ale, a short burst of luck that is excellent before a dive, and a single root goes into each Warp Totem: Island. Both of those recipes are sold by the dwarf in the volcano. A root dropped into a Preserves Jar comes out as a pickle worth a good deal more than the root.

One of Mr. Qi's island orders asks for a large shipment of Ginger, so a farm that already gathers it daily can take that job with most of the work behind it.
