Burlap Gloves

Night one, the fire is burning low and you are shivering in a shirt and trousers. The gloves are the cheapest piece of the burlap set to fix that: a handful of cloth, no bench, done before the next wolf shows up. Their own description promises protection from the elements, not from arrows, and that is about right.

Spend the cloth in the right order, though. Thirty of it is a sleeping bag, and on day one a bag near your stash matters far more than warm fingers. Gloves come after the bag, the shirt and the trousers.

Nobody keeps them for long. After the first hunt, leather gloves take a bit more punishment, and once a Level 2 bench is up, road sign gloves join the rest of a road sign kit. Burlap ones you pull off a dead fresh spawn go straight into the recycler, which hands back about half the cloth.
