The elusive Fleece Cowl (Rare Items Thread)

[emmietiie]

If you have found one of these, please tell me where. I've started several Pilgrims to test all the clothes, but this blasted thing eludes me.

[Kitty Mauge]

I have found one in Desolation Point, where? I dunno, I do remember I have one stashed in my lockers at the whaling factory.

I found them several times on stalker runs. Can't recall where since I believe they are random spawns. The new one that I had never seen before were the combat pants. Found those on a Loper run. Course I killed myself doing something stupid per usual.

[emmietiie]

This could be a general loot thead. If you know spots where rare items spawn out in the open, share them. I've found a Cowichan Sweater in the Skeeter's Ridge basement.

I've noted that some clothes don't seem to spawn in TWM at all, unless I'm really unlucky. I've looted all containers on Interloper, Stalker, and Pilgrim, but I didn't find a single Fleece Cowl or a Long Wool Scarf.

Found the fleece cowl in DP in Hybernia safe during my Nomad challenge. Also found it once in the safe at Spence Homestead in the Muskeg

I assume the ear muffs accessories are a little less rare? In the two runs so far where I've lived long enough to be productive, I've found them both times. In ML and CH.

[athikers]

Fleece cowl? I thought you all were referring to the ugly green balaclava (sp?) . I haven't found a cowl though I have found the long wool scarf once. The ear muffs seem to be faily common.

[Looker]

I just found one in a safe earlier today. Looks good with a red scarf. :)

[StickyPawz]

Found one today in a locker at the hydro dam ... 93% condition ... sweet!

Argggh, I hate these moments when game mechanics clash with common sense and real world experience.

Who puts a fleece cowl in a safe ?

A person with no valuables.

I searched the whole map, once in voyageur, once in pilgrim, and found it one time in the trailers in Hibernia in DP. Balaclavas and wool toques have better stats so I have no idea why the fleece cowl is so rare, but I wear it like a trophy.

[Blizzard Walker]

Whether I have found just one or more than one I cannot say. My character is 1,500+ days on Voyageur. Since other head gear has better stats I know I have long since harvested any I found for the cloth.

Congratulations, your character is younger than this thread!

[alastairkendall]

I think it is all random.

Update: I loaded another Voyageur game and found a cowl on day 1 in a locked trunk in Coastal Townsite. I later travel to Milton and found another one in a locked trunk there.
