Revision as of 12:08, 5 July 2009

This glossary entry is a stub. You can help by adding to it according to the style guide.

Headgear is the general term used for the piece or armor that's applied to the head of a character.

Profession headgear

The standard profession specific headgear generally provides a +1 bonus for any attribute of the profession.

The headgear has a specific name and appearance for each profession:

Helm
Mask (covering the mouth)
Scalp Design (tattoo)
Scar Pattern (face scarification)
Mask (masquerade style)
Eyes (gems on the forehead) and Auras (swirling around the head)
Mask (covering the mouth)
Headwrap (covering the eyes)
Regalia (gems on the forehead)
Hood
Common headgear

Festival hats

Festival hats are a type of special headgear handed out as a reward during seasonal special events.

While you are able to attach runes to them (not insignias, with the exception of the Dragon Mask and Demon Mask), these headgears are not meant to have any functional value because they have an armor level of zero. They are merely collector items, for fun and for looks. (An exception was a monk farming build based on Spirit Bond, before it was nerfed, where having the lowest armor possible was an asset.)

Most festival hats cannot be dyed. Currently, the only exceptions are the Dragon Mask, Imperial Dragon Mask, Lion Mask, Jester's Cap and Tengu Mask.

Like all armor, festival hats are always customized and cannot be equipped by anyone other than the character who originally obtained it.

Event headgear may be copied from one character to another on the same account by a festival hat maker.
