Location Tailoring

Sunglasses are the sewing machine's answer to a volcano. The item on the spool is a single Cinder Shard, the warm glowing stone that comes out of the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island, and one shard is pocket change to any farmer who has been down there even once. That combination makes the glasses easy to own late in a save and unusual among hats, because they read as ordinary modern dress rather than armour or costume. They also sit across the eyes rather than on the crown, so they change the farmer's face while leaving the haircut alone.


Location


Sewing comes first and it is simple. The machine in Emily and Haley's house at 2 Willow Lane takes Cloth in the feed and the shard on the spool, and the same job can be done at home on the machine that arrives by post for finishing Emily's Rock Rejuvenation special order. Emily introduces the whole system herself, appearing outside the farmhouse the first time a farmer is carrying Cloth.

Cinder Shards come from the volcano at the north of Ginger Island. The dungeon runs ten levels deep, and shards sit in nodes along the way, in the chests on its floors and in the magma creatures that live there. There is a quieter supply too: a Stingray kept in a Fish Pond starts producing shards once the pond is well populated, which turns a one-off climb into a standing income. Skull Cavern treasure rooms can also hold them once the shortcut from the volcano has been opened.

The competition for shards is the Forge, which sits on the bottom level of the dungeon. It charges shards by the handful for every enchantment, every ring combination and every step of weapon forging, so shards are rarely sitting idle on an island save. One shard for a pair of sunglasses is still painless next to that.

Effect


Dark lenses with a thin frame cover the eyes and nothing else. No head item in Stardew Valley affects damage, defence or luck, so the glasses are worn for the look, and the look is deliberately cool rather than cute. Because the hair stays visible, they are one of the few options that suits a carefully chosen hairstyle, and they go with almost any shirt. A farmer in sunglasses and Work Boots looks like somebody on holiday who forgot to stop working.

Notes


Shards keep indefinitely, so the sensible habit is a chest of them stored near the boat rather than a shard hunted on demand. The Island Trader and the dwarf trading in the dungeon both take shards for goods as well, which gives a farmer with a deep stack several things to do with it. The glasses themselves cannot be sold at any counter, so a second pair is only worth sewing for a second farmer on a shared farm.
