Can Garlands spoil

dont-starve

The other day I was playing the game and noticed that at a certain point my garland stopped giving me sanity gain and the icon had a red border. Now I may have been attacked with it on, I'm not sure, but can the garland be damaged to the point of uselessness in battle? Can it spoil like other plants / food?

Best Answer

The garland will eventually spoil on its own. It takes about a week. (The wikia page says 6 days):

The Garland spoils over time, like Food, spoiling 25% slower in winter.

This is also in the patch notes when it was added to the game:

Garland - a pretty hat made out of flowers that gives a small sanity buff until it rots away
