Surgical Mask

Surgical Mask is an item described in the game as a cloth medical mask typically worn by doctors. The in-game description consistently identifies it as a fabric medical face covering: German sources describe it as a cloth face mask commonly worn by doctors; Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Japanese sources all state the same basic fact — a cloth/ fabric medical mask normally used or worn by medical practitioners. The English localization likewise describes it as a cloth medical mask usually worn by doctors.

Surgical Mask appears as part of the starter equipment for characters who select the Epimedical Bionomicist job. It is therefore guaranteed in that job’s initial loadout and can be expected to be available immediately at the start of play when that job is chosen.

Practical notes and interactions:

• Role and flavor: The mask functions as a piece of medical-themed equipment and serves as part of the recognizable visual identity for medically oriented characters. All localizations characterize it as the same simple cloth medical mask used by clinical staff.
• Availability: Surgical Mask is included in the starting gear for the Epimedical Bionomicist job; it is not described in these sources as a rare or unique drop outside of that guaranteed starting placement.
• Terminology: Across multiple language localizations the item is consistently described as a cloth medical mask worn by doctors; the Chinese source uses the term that translates to Medic for “doctor,” aligning the item with medical personnel in-game.
• Limitations of available information: These sources provide a unified, simple description and the starting-gear placement for one job but do not list numeric statistics, protection values, equip slots, crafting recipes, durability, or explicit gameplay mechanics. Any mechanical properties (such as armor, encumbrance, or slot) are not specified in the supplied references and are therefore not asserted here.

Surgical Mask should be considered a thematic medical accessory tied to medical roles in the game and is reliably present when playing an Epimedical Bionomicist from the start.
