A lining is a layer of creature hide or scales sewn into a coat when you make it. It gives the coat one extra effect on top of its stats. Linings are for coats of iron, steel or endurium, and each one costs 3 creature parts.
The linings
| Lining | Costs | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Yeti-lined | 3 Yeti Pelt | Snow and wet nights chill you 25% slower. |
| Wyvern-scaled | 3 Wyvern Scale | Heat and fire do 25% less damage to you. |
| Mermaid-scaled | 3 Mermaid Scale | You swim 15% faster. |
The parts come from the Yeti of the Tundra, the Crag Wyvern of the Rocky Highlands and the Mermaid.
Adding a lining
- Open the Crafting Table and go to the COATS page.
- Pick any of the six coats and choose iron, steel or endurium. A LINING row appears with four buttons: PLAIN, YETI, WYVERN and MERMAID.
- Choose one. Its 3 parts are added to the coat's cost, and the line under the buttons says what it does.
- Make the coat as usual.
The lining is sewn in as the coat is made. You can't add one to a coat you already have, or take one out. Plain (no lining) costs nothing extra. Leather and bronze coats can't be lined.
A lined coat is named for its lining: an iron Tank's coat with a Yeti lining is an Iron Tank's Yeti Coat. Its page in your pack shows the lining and what it does.
How each lining works
Yeti-lined
Cold builds up 25% slower while you wear it: in the snow of the Tundra and out on cold, wet nights. It does not slow the chill of a yeti's bite, which still chills you at once. See Status Effects for how cold works.
Wyvern-scaled
Fire and heat do 25% less damage to you. This counts:
- the Imp's fire;
- every blow of Giggos, and the heat he leaves on his hall's floor;
- Silvetus's gas when it catches fire;
- the Hollow Stag's ring of fire;
- a Kobold's keg;
- flame jets and ghostfire rings in dungeons.
Mermaid-scaled
You swim 15% faster. This adds to any other swimming bonus you have, such as a coat's Swim stat.
Grinding a lined coat
A coat keeps a record of what it took to make, lining included. When you grind it in The Grinder, you get back the Grinder's share of everything, the lining's parts among it.
Tips
- Make a Yeti-lined coat before you spend long in the Tundra.
- A Wyvern-scaled coat is a strong choice for Giggos's hall in the Rocky Highlands, where the floor itself burns.
- An Olympian's Mermaid Coat stacks its swim bonus with the lining for fast travel by water.
