The Tropiclip marks the first real milestone on a farm: moving out of the single room the game starts a farmer in. Robin's first farmhouse upgrade earns the Moving Up achievement, and the Hat Mouse answers with a little Palm Tree on a clip, priced at 1,000g. The upgrade behind it is one every save wants regardless, because it brings a kitchen, a fridge and a wider bed, and that bed is what makes marriage possible. The clip is therefore one of the earliest things on the mouse's shelf and a quiet sign that a farm has stopped scraping by.
Location
Robin runs the Carpenter's Shop north of town, and the farmhouse upgrades are bought over her counter. The first one asks for ten thousand gold and a large pile of wood, and she takes a few days over the building work. Wood can be bought from the same counter rather than chopped, which costs more gold but saves a long stretch with an axe, and that trade is often worth making in the first year when time is tighter than money.
What comes back is a proper house. A kitchen counter and a fridge arrive together, which is where cooking begins, and a bedroom is added alongside them. The achievement fires on this first upgrade alone, so the later two are not needed for the hat: the second adds the rooms and the crib that children need, and the third digs out the cellar where casks age cheese and wine.
The clip itself is then bought from the Abandoned House at the southern end of Cindersap Forest. The mouse there writes to the farm the morning after any first achievement and adds one hat to its shelf for every achievement after that. Nothing it sells can be sold back, so the thousand gold is gone for good.
Effect
The clip is tiny: a green palm with a curved trunk, pinned into the hair rather than worn over it. It gives no bonus of any kind, because the head slot changes nothing but appearance. Being so small, it is one of the few head items that leaves a chosen hairstyle entirely visible, which makes it popular with farmers who dislike covering their heads. It fits summer clothes and beach outfits best, and it is understated enough to wear every day.
Notes
Finishing the house completely earns a second hat from the same shelf, the Hunter's Cap, so the upgrade path pays twice. The kitchen pays more than that. Cooking recipes lead to their own run of achievements and hats, the Delicate Bow for ten recipes, the Plum Chapeau for twenty five and the Archer's Cap for all of them, which means the upgrade that earns the Tropiclip is also the start of four more hats.
