Hunter's Cap


Hunter's Cap
Hunter's Cap
Type Hat
Location Abandoned House
Achievement Living Large
Price 5000g

The Hunter's Cap is the hat the valley hands over once the farmhouse is finished. Robin's last expansion digs out the cellar beneath the house, and completing that work earns the Living Large achievement, which puts the cap on sale at the Abandoned House for 5,000g. Getting there means a long haul of gold and timber through every stage of building work, so the cap quietly marks a farm that has stopped scraping by. The in-game blurb promises wool lining warm enough for the deep forest, which fits a hat earned by the sort of farmer who has the spare cash to go wandering.


Location


Robin at the Carpenter's Shop handles every stage of the house. The first expansion adds a kitchen and a second bedroom, which is also what makes marriage possible, and it is paid for with gold and a large pile of Wood. Robin will sell that Wood outright for anyone short of trees, cheaply in the first year and at a steep mark-up afterwards. The next stage adds the nursery with its crib, paid in gold and Hardwood, and the last one costs gold alone and opens the cellar.

The cellar is what the achievement is really waiting on, and it is worth having for its own sake rather than for the hat. Casks placed down there age Cheese, Goat Cheese, Beer, Mead, Pale Ale and Wine, lifting each one through silver, gold and finally iridium quality. A cellar full of Starfruit Wine left to reach iridium is one of the largest single piles of money in the game, so the Hunter's Cap tends to arrive at the same point as a serious artisan operation.

The cap itself is bought from the mouse that keeps shop in the Abandoned House, down in the south of Cindersap Forest. That shop only opens once a first achievement has been earned, and it then grows a new hat on the shelves with each milestone passed. Living Large is one of the later ones to be crossed off, because each house stage must be paid for in full and takes building time before the next becomes available.

Effect


The cap is a snug, flap-eared hunting cap with a soft wool lining, closer to winter kit than to farm wear. It looks right over heavy shirts and boots and suits a Winter or Secret Woods wardrobe better than a summer one. Hats in the valley do nothing beyond the look, so the warmth is a matter of style rather than any protection from the cold.

Notes


Each stage of the house must be bought in order, so the cap cannot be rushed by saving up for the cellar alone. The money and materials for the kitchen and the nursery have to go through Robin first.

Anyone chasing the full set of hats will notice how much of the shop fills up through ordinary play. The house upgrades that pay for this cap also unlock cooking at the kitchen stove, which in turn starts the cooking achievements that stock the shelf with several more hats.
