Long-Eared Headband

Details

It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot.

Crafting it takes 69 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 60× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Long-Eared Headband

Long-Eared Headband is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Crafting this grade needs the Legendary schematic 5 Blueprints of Long-eared Headband sitting in your inventory, and no fixed shop stocks it. The only Long-Eared Headband paper on a settlement merchant's permanent list is the Common one, Long-Eared Headband Schematic 1 at 500 Gold, and that unlocks the 20 defence version only. Buying the cheap schematic never upgrades into this one, so treat the two as separate acquisitions rather than steps on a ladder.

Using Long-Eared Headband Well

This is not a pure cosmetic. The headband carries Element Resist Leaf 1, which is a flat 15% cut to every point of Grass damage that reaches you. Nothing gates it — no HP threshold, no partner Pal, no stance — it applies for as long as the band is in the head slot. It is also the player-side line and stacks with what your Pal is doing, since the Leaf resistance a Pal can roll is only 10%.

The Grass resistance does not scale with rarity. Every tier from the plain Long-Eared Headband up to this Legendary copy runs the same Level 1 line at 15%, so the only thing the higher grades buy is the armour itself: 80 defence, 240 HP and 900 durability here against 20, 60 and 225 on the base band. That makes this the one tier you can leave equipped full-time rather than swapping in for a single fight, which matters because head slots elsewhere trade raw defence for cold or heat protection and give you nothing against Grass attackers.

Every Tier of Long-Eared Headband

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 20 to 80, a 4x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

What Long-Eared Headband Does

Long-Eared Headband grants Grass Damage Reduction Lv. 1: Element Resist Leaf +15.

Schematics That Unlock Long-Eared Headband

Long-Eared Headband is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Katress Cap matches it exactly at 80 defense — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw defense, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Monarch's Crown at 90; below it is Metal Helm at 80.
