[1.5 spoilers for rings, hats, and food buffs]
I have finished the game and I am now collecting all hats and shoes! The two remaining items I don't have are the living hat and work boots. (I finally got the crystal shoes after spending 5 hours in Skull Cavern.) I thought I would get the boots much faster, but I did not realize how rare they are if you don't have the remixed mine rewards on. According to the wiki, there's about a 0.012 chance to get them from a fishing treasure chest. Which is as rare as finding a prismatic shard in a fishing treasure chest!! I've fished more than 7 straight in game days and I'm quickly loosing hope.
To maximize my chance of finding those treasure chests, I fish on maximum luck days with the following things; 5 luck in food buffs (golden pumpkin soup and golden ginger ale) 2 lucky rings, magnet bait, a treasure finder, and the pirate profession.
Is there anything I'm missing or could do to find work boots easier? Has anyone gotten work boots from a fishing treasure chest before? I would appreciate some feedback, thanks!
