Are the various components of the JKK hypno goggles random?

The goggles on the right are a higher quality in general but have a lower thot patrol crit chance.
edit:  and they're cheaper

Yes.

The price is not being randomized right now, I think, though it probably should be to reflect the power of individual items. I'll get to that eventually.

The difference in price you see now is probably only due to current durability factor. (1200 / 1230 = 0.97 vs 1200 / 1320 = 0.9).

Never went with JKK, not even knew there can be more of these goggles. Are they getting refreshed in Ola's stock each time? I'm just asking to know if so, then rolling one with +30 persuasion is something that one can safely count on when planning out a build? That would be awesome.

For me at least, he has several new ones with each restock.  They range from +10 to +30.

Wonderful. Lastly, one cannot even equip it with WILL below 5 right? It's not like some weapon that you can use with penalties, people can only enjoy the persuasion bonus with at least five willpower? It's still sound good either way, but it's better to know in advance.
Thanks.

I don't know; I have 5 will on this run and I dont have any other saves where I cant test it.

You can equip it, but it does nothing below 5 Will. The stats won't get applied (not even the dodge penalty) and you can't use Hypnotize either.

Thanks for clearing that. It's definetly a nice boost and a good reason to choose JKK for any character meeting the 5 WILL requirement.

Thanks for replying anyway, it's nice of you. Also, it reminded me of having my abandoned save (with 3 WILL), so I could test it myself if I was not so forgetfull to think of this and lazy.

EDIT: Got it to the point where the merchant opened up and after checking, the lines on the info sheet of the item get grey and they do not apply. I don't know why I preferred to see it with my own eyes, but that's the case.

[harperfan7]

I guess I could have used junkyard surprise now that I think about it.

Please tell me this and the ai scrambler are the only items you've implemented like this.

So far, yes.
