Clothes
Clothes, are the equipment that can be put on the player to increase their stats and better their performance. Gear is sold in various shops all over Jorvik, and comes in a multitude of styles, models, and colors.
Player Clothes Sheet
Clothing can be placed on the player character by either double-clicking the item in question while it’s in the player’s backpack or by going to the player’s character sheet and placing it in the appropriate slot on the interface. While the player’s character sheet has six slots, only five can be used for clothes.
Buying Clothes
When buying clothing, a player simply needs to scroll over the item in question, and an infobox will appear depicting the item's name, type, and description, as well as stats, the purchase price (or sell price depending on whether you own the item or are buying it), and restrictions.
Stats
Players can determine how much a piece of clothing increases stats by scrolling over the item in question. Doing this will bring up an information box.
Clothes can affect all four stats the player has, these being:
Ride: How fast your horse can run.
Jump: How high and far your horse can jump.
Command: How quickly your horse will respond to commands.
Care: How often your horse will require care throughout the day. (This stat no longer matters. You only have to care for your horse twenty-four hours after the last time you cared for it. No care is needed during that period.)
Gear can affect zero to all four of these stats depending on the item, and the points by which they increase can be between zero and nine.
Price
While most clothing can be purchased with Jorvik shillings or Star Coins. Some items will only be purchasable with Star Coins. Should a player not have enough money for the item they want, the price will be greyed out.
However, when selling items, players can only receive Jorvik shillings, and clothing is usually bought back at a considerably lower price. However, having enough money does not always grant players access to gear. Sometimes there are restrictions.
Restrictions
There are three types of restrictions a player can encounter when purchasing an item.
Star Rider: Sometimes, clothes are highlighted a light yellow. This means the item can only be purchased while the player has a Star Rider membership.
Player Level: Items restricted by player level will not be purchasable by users under that level.
Reputation: Most high-level and performance items require users to have a high reputation with certain factions. The higher a user's reputation with a faction, the better items there are available.
Types Of Clothes
Four types of clothing actively affect the horse’s stats: hats, tops, gloves, bottoms, and shoes. Clothes come in several different styles, colors, and varying stats, making it easy for users to optimize their equipment to fit their aesthetic and competition focus.
A comprehensive list of all of the equipment that has been released in-game can be found at The Star Stable Database.
Hats
Hats come in several different styles and colors, ranging from practical riding gear to casual wear to costume pieces. They are one of the few items users do not have to have equipped at all times.
