Survivor's Bandana is the Uncommon head piece of the Survivor's Set set in Windrose. It is crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop after unlocking the Plans: Survivor's Bandana recipe.
Overview
Rarity: Uncommon
Slot: Head
Set: Survivor's Set
Item Level: Base ilvl 1; scales to ilvl 11 through tier upgrades
In-Game Description
"A roughly made outfit, well suited for hacking through jungle thickets and fending off boar tusks."
Defense
Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Survivor's Bandana has three crafting tiers that set its base Defense. Each tier can be upgraded several more levels at the Upgrading Station using the same recipe materials.
Item Level | Defense | Craft Tier |
|---|---|---|
1 | 100 DEF | Base tier |
6 | 160 DEF | Second tier (upgraded recipe) |
11 | 200 DEF | Third tier (top recipe) |
Crafting
Requires the craft plan Plans: Survivor's Bandana to be unlocked first.
Item Level | Station | Materials |
|---|---|---|
1 | 2 Rough Hide, 2 Coarse Fabric | |
6 | ||
11 |
Each tier unlocks a new workshop attachment: the Shoemaker's Bench at ilvl 6 and the Material Rack at ilvl 11. Both attach to the Armor and Clothing Workshop and require its Bonfire coverage to function.
Set Bonuses
The Survivor's Set is Uncommon tier and carries no 2-piece or 4-piece set bonus. Its value is in the 100 base Defense per piece and its availability as an affordable early-game craft.
Early-Game Context
The Survivor's Set is the first crafted armor most players assemble after the prologue. The Bandana is cheap, needing only Rough Hide and Coarse Fabric gathered around the starting island coastal jungle, so it is realistic to have the whole head-to-foot set before leaving the opening area. It replaces the grey Torn Hat from the default outfit.
Flavor Text
"Each time we journey to where the sky meets the sea, we begin a new legend." (Exquemelin, a traveler)
Notes
As the head slot of the Survivor's Set, the Bandana is usually the first Uncommon upgrade over the grey starter Torn Hat, lifting head Defense from 90 to 100 at the base craft.
The full set is the standard early-game goal: pair the Bandana with the Survivor's Jacket (torso), Survivor's Pants (legs), Survivor's Gloves (hands), and Survivor's Boots (feet). There is no set bonus, so mixing pieces from other Uncommon lines costs nothing.
Defense scales by re-crafting at higher item level (100, 160, 200) and by further levels at the Upgrading Station using the same materials. The head piece tops out lower than the torso piece, which reaches 300.
