A pair of boots.

Boots are a form of armour worn on a character's feet slot. They provide a small amount of AC (especially when enchanted, max +2) and can have any of the following egos:

• Flight: Activate to fly indefinitely, deactivate at will, costs food to activate
• Stealth: +50 stealth
• Running: Reduces movement delay by 1, stacks with other speed effects

Restrictions

If you have a rank 3 Hooves mutation or the Talons mutation, you may not wear boots. The following species can never wear boots:

• Naga
• Centaur
• Spriggan
• Ogre
• Troll
• Tengu
• Felid
• Octopode

Nagas and centaur may wear barding in their feet slot instead.

History

• The boots of the Assassin were removed in 0.25, replaced by the hood of the Assassin.
• The jumping ego was removed in 0.16.
• The boots of the spider were removed in 0.15 along with the clinging mechanic for players.
• Prior to 0.14, elven variant boots existed, weighing less and adding +20 stealth along with any other benefits the boots may have provided. Also, boots of jumping and the boots of the spider were introduced in 0.14.
• The original boots of the Assassin were removed in 0.13, only to return with new mechanics in 0.14.
• Prior to 0.12, boots of flight were instead boots of levitation, which were similar but had several annoying limitations.
