Turban or Straw Hat?

[Sigmund]

What do you guys think is more useful?

Turban got 70% Duststorm resist,


Strawhat got +1 to combat skills plus 30% acid resist


can you even craft a Turban specialist/masterwork or is it always shoddy grade?

Turbans can be crafted in different qualities.

The strawhat has limited use. The +1 only makes a difference on rookys and acid resist is only needed in a few places.
The turban is a decent head gear for gunner in windy enviroments

Thanks mistralic! by gunner you mean someone manning a turret (mounted crossbow/harpoon) ?

Turbans are the way to go in my opinion. Especially if you live in a area with dust storms. Enemies don't usually have them so they'll be taking a few point penalty while you're mostly fine.

They can have all the same grades any other armor you craft can and I've seen them go up to high quality in shops. Another personal preference of mine is that they don't block your characters face on the UI bar when you have them on.

Acid is a pretty rare issue and if you need it you'll probably want to dress specifically for it just for the time you need it. The +1 stats on the hat just isn't really enough to make a difference in the long run.

@Mycanoid_Lord: You make a good point. Though you can't roleplay as a rice farmer militia with Turbans though! Straw hats on the other hand..... :)

haha, anyway, i see i better use Turbans. Thanks.

By the way could anyone tell me how to automate my armor crafting? My crafter stops whenever he produces 1 hat, what do i need for him to do more than 1? do i need some armor storage or something?

[Mycanoid_Lord]

Yeah you need the armor storage chest to fully automate it, though having a large backpack will let you make a few at a time as long as there's room in your inventory for them
