Thulecite Crown

"Fit for a king. Or me."

- Wilson

The Thulecite Crown is a craftable Item found in the Ancient Tab. It requires 4 Nightmare Fuels, 4 Thulecites and an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to craft. It also has a 33% chance to be found inside a Large Ornate Chest. Like all items from the Ancient Tab, Thulecite Crowns cannot be prototyped and Characters always need to be near an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to craft them again.

When equipped in the head slot, the Thulecite Crown acts as an Armor that will absorb 90% of physical damage and has 1200 durability. When characters are struck while the Crown is equipped, it has a 33% chance to create a force field around the Character. The force field lasts for 4 seconds, preventing all damage (except for Fire) and grants stun immunity. The trade-off is that 5% of the incoming damage is reduced from Sanity. The force field cannot occur more than once every 9 seconds. Unequipping the Crown will disable an active force field, even though the animation remains. The Crown's force field emits enough light to protect the player from Charlie.

Since Thulecite is not renewable only a limited number of Thulecite Crowns can be crafted.

Reign of Giants
In the Reign of Giants DLC (RoG), players have a small chance of finding Green Gems inside Tumbleweeds, thus making Thulecite Crown renewable, since more Thulecite can be gained with the use of Construction Amulets and Deconstruction Staves.

Tips

 * As it is clear from its perk, the Thulecite Crown is more suited for tanking enemies instead of kiting them.
 * The Crown is really useful when facing big groups of Mobs like Spiders or Hounds, as the force field will protect the players from being stunlocked.
 * The force field will protect Characters even from the special effects of enemy attacks like the item steal of Frogs.
 * The Crown is a great armor for Willow, Maxwell and Wigfrid (RoG only) since these Characters can regain their Sanity easily.

Trivia

 * The Thulecite Crown was added in the Moderately Friendly Update.
