Leprechaun Hat

Leprechaun Hat
Type	Hat
Location	Cindersap Forest

The Leprechaun Hat comes out of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, and it is available for exactly one day a year. On the seventeenth of Spring the rainbow appears above the waterfall in Cindersap Forest, just along from the Abandoned House, with the pot sitting on the cliff at its end. Walking up and reaching into the pot hands over the hat and a pile of gold with it. The date is a nod to St Patrick's Day, and the hat's own blurb grumbles that the last owner had an unusually large head for a leprechaun.

Location

---

The route is short. Head south through Cindersap Forest, past the little ruined building near the bottom of the map, then east along the water to the waterfall. The pot sits on the ledge above the falling water rather than at the pool below, so it is worth looking up rather than along.

Timing is the only difficulty. The pot appears on the morning of the seventeenth and is gone by the next day, so a farmer who spends that day down the Mines or over on Ginger Island misses it entirely. Weather makes no difference: the rainbow arrives on the date whether or not it has rained, which catches out anyone expecting a shower first.

The pot repeats every year, so a missed Spring is a delay rather than a loss, and the hat can be collected on any later anniversary. The gold handed over alongside it is a small bonus rather than a reason to go.

Effect

---

The hat is a tall green stovepipe with a wide brim and a buckled band, exactly the shape of the storybook leprechaun's. It is loud, obviously costume, and best worn as a joke rather than as part of an outfit, which has not stopped it becoming a favourite. Nothing about it improves luck, despite everything the image promises. Headwear in the valley is appearance only, and this one is appearance at its most committed.

Notes

---

The seventeenth of Spring is a quiet day in the calendar, which makes the trip easy to fit in. A farmer can clear the forest, chop the usual trees, check the daily forage and finish at the waterfall without losing anything.

A collected hat stays with the farm for good, so this one waits in the wardrobe between outings. It is a popular choice for a horse, since the shape sits well on a large animal, and pets will wear it just as happily.
