Enchanter hat

[ScamprinSlippy]

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div><strong>edit: for those who haven't seen the 2-handed fountain of life staff, the cobra head is part of it, and not part of the hat.</strong></div><div> </div><div>currently both enchanter classes have the same graphic for the Kingdom of Sky hat, just like the Templars and Inquisitors do.  You've all seen the Inquisitor "pope" hat, well templars are in that also for the time being.  On the other hand, Shadowknights and Paladins both have their own hat, and eventually all the classes are supposed to have their own.  So, here's a few pics of the enchanter hat, and I have no idea whether it will end up being a Coercer hat or an Illusionist hat.  But, being an illusionist myself, I'm posting it here <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>Here is a pic of the hat's stats, with me and my personae modeling it. notice that his hat is lighter, with much less emphasis on the decoration. I don't know if that was the intent of the designers or not.</div><div>http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/slippyshortcakes/hatstats.jpg</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>another pic of me and my pet</div><div>http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/slippyshortcakes/pairhat.jpg</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>this is a pic just of the pet, so naturally it isnt the colors of the player one, but I think its my best picture for just showing the general form of the hat</div><div>http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/slippyshortcakes/pethat.jpg</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>and this is a pic of blackguard wearing the full swashie gear.  basically every slot of gear that is visible to other players is swashbuckler only.  So... if all goes according to plan, Illusionists should someday have a full set of gear also.  Our own gloves, robe, boots, pants, shoulders...</div><div>http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f64/slippyshortcakes/swashgear.jpg</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>so what do you guys think of the hat?  I think its a cool hat, its unique and well done.  But, I don't think it says "enchanter" like it should.  When people see it they usually ask me if it is a profession hat, becuase they are inclined to think its just a new mage hat graphic.  Everyone thinks its pretty cool looking though, and a little funny.</div><div> </div><div>To me it looks like a toned down jester or joker's hat.  They shortened the doodlebobs that hang off a joker's hat, and made it looks more regal and dignified.  I like the general form of it and the decoration and stuff, but personally i would like to see a bit more "joker" to it, so it looks more unique as an enchanter hat, like its not trying to fit in as a normal hat.  I'd say enchanters are the most oddball of the three mage types, and there is some humor in the way we work, so I wouldn't mind a little bit more oddity and humor in this hat, whether it ends up being an illusionist hat or not.</div><div> </div><div>Post your thoughts please <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>P.S. I am not too knowledgable about html, or these boards.  Can someone explain to me what I need to do in order to make the pictures show?  I'll edit this post to fix it as soon as I know what to do.</div><p>Message Edited by ScamprinSlippy on <span class="date_text">02-09-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:54 AM</span></p>

I think it's ugly as sin, but if it keeps thoses stats, I will happily use it (hidden) and not say a word. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div><p>LOL!</p><p>How about a Top Hat with a rotating spiralling disc on the front, ala the Ringmaster? :smileyvery-happy:</p><p>That hat does look nice, not exactly what I would picture for an Illusionist, but interesting just the same.</p><p>Better not run too fast though - judging by the drag that the cobra crest would cause, it would be pulled off your head at high speeds!</p><p>Deep</p>

<div>Lol, that's funny.  The colors blend well, so everyone assumed it was part of the hat.  Without the snake thing, it's not bad.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks for the info/pics.</div><div> </div><div>Zebsen</div>

It's like...you ripped off a piece of grandma's armchair...and stuck it on your head.Upholstry hat ftl. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />I expected something a little more, I dunno, whimsical, or colorful, or something.<div></div>

I'm sure there's a raid-dropped verison with the same graphics that has stats that are much better.And yes, this is very easy to get. I solo'd the mob with my beta-copied character at Level 60. It's a simple Level 61 heroic, no adds, it is aggro, however it is in a place where you can get to it solo.

[ScamprinSlippy]

<div></div><p>yeah it does look like an upholstery hat, i have described it to a few people as a three cornered pillow jammed under my hat <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Maybe that won't work, since they basically remove your hair when you have a hat showing.Oh well, I'm not all that big on mage hats to begin with, so /shrug.</blockquote>

[Hirebra]

I wonder how it looks on iksar...<div></div>

[Impetus]

Iksar tail probably pokes through. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />(iksar armor jokes ftw)

[Dragonslayer810]

<div></div>The best hat in the game hands down!

[Nupr]

<div>I think it kinda looks like someone shoved a thanksgiving turkey on that poor gnome's head with the drumsticks hanging down the side.</div>

[Stealth Status]

YaA!!!! I agree... i think its pretty cool looking.<div></div>

[ximo]

<div>Hmmm its kinda growing on me and probably wouldnt be as bad in a different colour scheme, however I think I was expecting something more like this for Illusionists:</div><div> </div><div><img src="http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5687/illusionist5tr.jpg"></div>

[Xanoth]

<div>seriously, look at what an illusionist is in other RPGs, like D&D.. the spells they have and the role they can play.  then look back at eq2...  now look at the eq2 illusionist hat and tell me truthfuly that your supprised about that lack of creativity.</div><div> </div><div>i totally agree about the turkey on the head comment, my wife just got up from having a nap, i showed her the hat while i went to make her a cup of tea and i could hear her laughing for about 5 minutes solid... she even had to come find me to tell me how stupid it looked.</div><div> </div><div>i'll probably try and get the hat and wear it hidden.  the FT3 doesn't stack with my tunic, but i hate that ugly thing too...  nothing beats adventuring in pyjamas. this game has huge potiential, and many graphics do look cool. but the cloth armour stinks... unless you like the pyjama look =/</div><div> </div><div>sorry for moaning, i do so far too often and rarely with any structure... but i can't help it :smileysurprised:</div><div> </div><div>wish i could wear swashy armour...</div>

FT3 will stack with FT3, and you will gain 6 points of power regen, not 3, although besides the point, I see a lot of people stating this incorrectly.

[Xanoth]

<div></div>what i heard is that they stack, but they shouldn't. so everyone is expecting a stealth nerf any time...  but could be wrong.  i guess i can be stuck with two ugly items <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Re: enchanter hat.Seriously?A sack of [Removed for Content] Po'tay'toes?How very lame.and yeah...thank da' gods for /showhelmwill coercer's be able to wear a wizzy hatat least if they think theirs sux the big ones?-unenchanted<div></div>

[Wiliky]

I just realized that my last sentencemade no sense. I was not thinkingclearly and still fuming. I just reallyloathe the look of this hat. I thinkthat if they made it come to a single pointmaybe bend back into a curl it could actuallylook quite cool but the whole... sticking apillow case on your head never cut itas a holloween costume, and it doesn'tcut it as a Coercer hat in my book.I only hope that we can wear one of theother profession hats if we really can'tstand the look of the class hats we aregiven. I really hate to rant about this butseriously. . . Devs, put yourself in thathat and try to feel that you look uberor slick. Just try. . . not going to happen is it?-Unenchanted II<div></div>

[Wiliky]

The more I look at the hat . . .the more I think how "almost close" it is to beingcool. Like someone was working on it on thurdsay nightand they got a call from "the bob's" that they needed theenchanter hat finished by friday. Just imagine if the"bewb" looking rounded ends came up in sortadragon horns kind of a look or down into a curledtwin-cornacopish looking feel. I dunno. Ok. I am goingto stop griping now and just ... bite my pillowhat.-UNenchanted III<div></div>

[Wiliky]

I'm a dork.One time I was dressed as a wizard (sortof) at a renaisance (howerver you spell that)faire and some jester goes "Good sir, that is the most ridiculous hat I have ever seen!"Well my friends, this hat tops my "renn hat" hat in sheer ridiculousness.This hat straight SUCKS!-Unenchantedi IV (the revenge)p.s. I just showed my friend the hat at work.He's still laughing over in his cube.This being about 5 minutes after I showed him.<div></div>

[zit]

<div></div><p>it looks like a medieval fool's cap.</p><p>very fitting for our class.</p>

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>It has a snake on it because the Enchanters epic in Everquest 1 was called 'Staff of the Serpent'http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/dawnoffire/milagra_epic.jpg<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/dawnoffire/milagra_epic.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/dawnoffire/milagra_epic.jpg"><div></div><p>Message Edited by Meleania on <span class="date_text">02-12-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:22 AM</span></p>

[ScamprinSlippy]

<div></div><p>I'd say the staff has a snake on it because the cobra head motif is all over the place in DoF, and this is a DoF themed weapon.  You basically get it by raiding a tomb or something.</p><p>And more importantly, its not just for chanters, its for all mages, and even some shadowknights are using it for the proc.</p>

Ugh...it's a drop from a single easily-soloable named??? With stats like that on it, that mob's gonna be perma-camped. Good luck getting anywhere near it to get your hat. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

It's a Level 61 or 62 Heroic Triple-up(don't remember). While being Level 60 with my gear on beta I took it out quite easily.

<div>SLIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cool hat <3</div><div> </div><div>the snake btw is the top of the staff on his back, not the hat. it's the Staff of Second Life aka prismatic 2.0 for mages.</div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div></div><p>Lol.  Ok ok... now dont get mad at me.  Have any of you seen the movie Little Nicky?  Remember the point at which the gatekeeper of hell grows big [Removed for Content] on the top of his head?  Well... that was the absolute first thing that came into my head when I saw the pics...</p><p>[Removed for Content] Head!</p>
