Hat is the head-slot armor piece and the largest equipment slot in the game, with more distinct items than any other. Every hat carries weapon defense, running from 6 on the weakest to 70 on the strongest, and every one has 7 upgrade slots. Beyond defense the slot is varied rather than specialised: hats are the only armor piece that draws on the full stat vocabulary, with magic defense, Max HP, Max MP, accuracy and all four primary stats each appearing on some part of the range.

The slot is also the most evenly divided between the job branches. Each of the four has a comparable number of hats of its own, and around a fifth of the slot carries no job restriction at all, so a character always has something to wear.

What a hat does

  • Adds weapon defense. The one stat every hat carries. The value rises with required level, topping out at 70 on the level 70 warrior Planet helmets.
  • Carries the widest stat mix of any armor slot. Roughly a third of hats add magic defense, and Max HP, Max MP, accuracy and the primary stats all appear somewhere in the range.
  • Takes 7 upgrade slots. Every hat has the same 7, whatever its level, so a low-level hat is as scrollable as an endgame one.
  • Accepts a cosmetic overlay. Cash Shop hats and hairbands sit in this slot over the equipped hat, showing their appearance while the hat underneath keeps its stats.

Used by

All four branches have hats of their own, in similar numbers, and each branch's endgame helmet is built to its priorities. At level 70 the Warrior Planet helmets lead the slot outright on weapon defense, the Bowman Patriot and Thief Nightfox hats sit in the middle, and the Magician Infinium Circlets trade most of that defense away for magic defense instead.

A substantial part of the slot carries no job restriction, which is unusual for armor and means Beginner characters are not limited to the very lowest tier. The most notable unrestricted hat is Zakum Helmet, a level 50 piece that any class can wear: it adds 5 to all four primary stats on top of 55 weapon defense and 30 magic defense, and it is a unique item, so a character can hold only one.

Hat families

Most hats above the starter tier come in colour-coded families that share a required level and a statline and differ only in appearance, so the choice within a family is cosmetic. The level 70 warrior line is Bronze Planet, Silver Planet and Mithril Planet; the bowman line at the same level is the Patriots and the thief line the Nightfoxes.

A few families do vary internally, usually by moving a small amount of the budget between magic defense and a primary stat. Where two members of a family differ, the difference is visible in the table below, since it lists both.
