Category:Mood

Moods are temporary equipment items that grant far greater stat bonuses than normal items.

The original four moods, namesakes for the category, are boons with a +22 bonus to one of the four primary stats. (Formerly, they were Hats that granted +30.) They disappear from your inventory one hour after obtained. Compare them to adrenaline kicks.

It is not possible to have multiple instances of the same mood. (E.g. if you already have Alight with Passion and try to get another, you will still have only one.) However, if you have two different Moods at the same time, both effects will apply due to the unique mechanics of the Boon slot.

Mood name	Equip effect
Preternaturally Intent	+22 Watchful
Cool as Ice	+22 Shadowy
Fired with Ferocity	+22 Dangerous
Alight with Passion	+22 Persuasive
