Skins

"Maybe I can be even more handsome!"

- Wilson

Skins are a new feature in Don't Starve Together in the Caves beta. They are equipable items that players can use to customize their characters in-game. Players can change which Skins they are using by activating a Wardrobe. They are set to randomly drop after a certain time on servers with at least one player in them.

Skins are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay besides visuals. Currently, once a skin is obtained, it can't be destroyed, but it can be traded on Steam, however.

In order to obtain a skin, one must recieve a random drop, which will be signaled with a gift box appearing in the top-left corner of the screen and a sound simiar to ripping paper. After this, the player must go to one of the many research stations (Science Machine, Alchemy Engine, ect.) to open it. When a whistle plays and the research station starts producing streams of shadows the gift can be opened and the Skin will be obtained.

There are six types of Skins (Head, Torso, Gloves, Legs, Shoes and Items) that are classified based on rarity (Common, Classy, Spiffy, Elegant and Distinguished). Most items come in a variety of colors and all clothing items are unisex.The player can get up to 4 skins in a week, it resets every Thursday.
