Goggles

Goggles are a piece of equipment worn in the head slot, granting +1 defense. The goggles have no effects, which may be a reference to the popular quote originating from The Simpsons: "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"

It is not known why there must be a chair and workbench present to craft the goggles since they are not a combination that the game ever prompts. It is considered a bug, and many speculate that the crafting stations required are supposed to be a chair and table. Many new players may not even be aware of their existence. As a result, the goggles are now largely used for aesthetic and role-play purposes. 2 Lenses are required to craft them.

The Merchant will purchase goggles for 2 silver coins....

1.0.4 UPDATE: Goggles may be placed in the Head social slot which will allow the player to gain the goggle aesthetic, without losing armor or set bonuses.
