Crab Pod Headphones

Can anyone tell me what the hell they're good for?

  • Looking neat and adding a touch of realism to the interaction with the crabs.

    Other than that? Nothing.

  • I always drop mine when the crab give them to me so other people can take them if they don't know how to get them.  :)  That's how I got the pair that I have in my closet, before I knew how to do it myself.  :D

  • I stockpile them for the heck of it. I have at least 70some in bags, my floor, and in my mailbox from friends. My favorite item!

  • Well, I wish I'd known that a lifted pixel, because then I would have mailed them to you, rather than dropping them near the quarter sign on the 5400 block of Lorme Rush Quarter.
    If you want, they may still be there!

  • if, when you are done having the crab listen to your music, you flatter and then hug the crab, he takes back his headphones and gives you a crabato juice. That is at least useful, and I leave 6-packs of crabato on my neighbor's doorstep, every once in a while.

  • Pixie, the crab takes the headphones back regardless of whether you flatter/hug.

  • They are good for hoarding, and figuring out how to get them in the first place... Sort of an unofficial trophy. I wonder if Tiny Speck didn't have another purpose in mind at one time.

  • err When I get headphones they vanish from my bag almost instantly and I get some currants. Is this a bug and not a feature?

  • @PulaPulaBompa the headphones only stay in your bag while the crab is listening unless you click "Drop" on the item menu.  The crab gives you money if he hasn't just heard what you play to him.

    When the crab asks you to play something for him, and you click on a music block to play, he gives you headphones which go into the first open slot in your inventory.

    If you leave them in your inventory, the crab takes them back when they are done, giving you currants and XP based on how familiar the music block was.

    If you drop them on the ground, the crab gives you Currants and XP based on how familiar the music block was.  You can then pick up the headphones and keep them.

    If you come up to the crab and flatter, then hug the crab, you get a can of clamato juice.  This has nothing to do with playing the music block.

  • You can also trick the crab into doing it the other way around.

    Drop the headphones the first time around, so when you're done with the interaction, you have the headphones still.

    Next time you see a crab, instead of giving you headphones, he will take the headphones and after listening will give them back.

    Just a weird little bug.

  • I put a pair near my Musicblock collection in case ol' Crabby drops by sometime.
