Headband is the Common head piece of the Common starter outfit in Windrose. It is the default starter garment equipped after the prologue shipwreck and is not crafted. Every character begins the game wearing the full Torn outfit in this slot.
Overview
Rarity: Common
Slot: Head
Set: Standalone (no set bonus)
Item Level: ilvl 1
In-game description
"These rags were once fine clothes."
Defense
90 DEF at Item Level 1. Common-rarity armor has the lowest base Defense in the game and limited upgrade headroom; it is almost always replaced within the first few hours of play.
Set bonuses
Common-rarity starter armor does not carry a set bonus and cannot be ascended to higher rarity. It is placeholder gear until the first Uncommon piece is crafted.
Notes
Cannot be re-crafted once lost or replaced. Keep in mind the Common tier has no set bonus and minimal upgrade headroom at the Upgrading Station.
The torn state of the starter outfit is the game's visual shorthand for the protagonist's opening circumstances: a freelance courier whose ship and crew were lost in Blackbeard's ambush during the prologue, leaving the player washed up on the Islander Quest starting island in reduced dress.
Replace it as soon as the first Uncommon piece can be crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop: typically a Survivor's Set piece. Disassembling the Torn piece at the Disassembly Table returns nothing meaningful, so vendors or stashes are the usual disposal route.
