Magic Turban


Magic Turban
Magic Turban
Type Hat
Location Desert Trader
Price Omni Geode (333)

The Magic Turban shares the top shelf of the Desert Trader's tent with the prismatic Cowboy Hat, and both carry the same eye-watering tag of 333 Omni Geodes. This one appears on even-numbered days of the month only, so the calendar decides which of the pair is available on the walk out to the desert. The cloth never settles on a colour: it runs through the whole shifting range of a Prismatic Shard, in the manner of the rarest item in the game. For anyone who already owns the plain Green Turban from the same tent, this is the same silhouette at more than six times the price.


Location


Getting to the trader's tent requires a working bus to the Calico Desert, which arrives either with the Vault bundles at the Community Center or through Joja's bus upgrade for a farm that went that way. After that the tent is open daily, including across the Desert Festival.

Omni Geodes are the only accepted payment, and they come from mining. Rocks in the deeper Mines yield them, the Skull Cavern produces them on every floor, Carbon Ghosts almost always drop one when killed, and treasure rooms down in the cavern sometimes hold a batch. Nothing about farming, fishing or foraging helps, so a turban at this price is a mining trophy whatever it looks like.

The honest way to save for it is to stop cracking them. Clint will open a geode for 25g and a Geode Crusher does the same job on the farm, and an Omni Geode is the only kind that can produce any mineral in the game, which makes each one tempting while the museum is still short. Once Gunther's shelves are full that temptation disappears and the stack climbs quickly.

Timing is the last hurdle. Arriving on an odd day puts the Magic Cowboy Hat on the counter instead, at exactly the same cost, so a farmer set on the turban should check the calendar before spending the day travelling.

Effect


The turban is wrapped fabric with a jewel at the brow, and the whole of it glimmers and changes as the farmer walks. Because the shape is restrained, the colour does all the work, which makes it easier to wear with everyday clothes than most flashy headwear. It looks particularly good against the darker shirts, where the shifting light stands out. Hats affect nothing but appearance, so the magic is strictly in the dye.

Notes


Neither hat is limited to one purchase, though a second serves no purpose beyond dressing a horse or a pet, since no shop in the valley buys hats back.

Anyone who has reached this point is diving the Skull Cavern regularly, and the same descents pay for themselves in iridium and Prismatic Shards. Buying Staircases from the same trader a jade at a time is the usual way to make those trips quick, which neatly turns one stock line in the tent into the means of affording another.
