Mad Hatrack

From TheKolWiki

This page is in need of content Some hats still need exact formulas/multipliers for what they do. Also, orange traffic cone? Anyone?

• With no hat equipped:

<Name> walks around the area, looking for hats.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

<Name> says "faith and begorrah, there are monitoring devices in my scalp!" and winks from under the Tam O'Shanter.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

<Name> says "who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?" and does a crazy dance around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

<Name> says "these taste like purple!" and smiles from beneath the wax lips.

• For other hat messages, please see the separate hat pages:

• Mad Hatrack Messages (A-E)
• Mad Hatrack Messages (F-N)
• Mad Hatrack Messages (O-Z)

[edit] Arena Message

• <Name> is a little too scattered to focus on a scavenger hunt.

[edit] Greasemonkey Script

To help automate the list of effects, DrEvi1 created a script which will show the effects the hatrack would have, based on the table below, next to each hat in your inventory when you have a Mad Hatrack as your familiar. The forum post for the script can be found here.

[edit] Notes

• When using the Hatrack, all hats have a [put on hatrack] link.
• The Hatrack's image becomes the image of the hat it has equipped.
• The Hatrack is affected normally by its base weight and familiar buffs, but its weight is capped depending on hat power.
  • If a hat with a power of 200 is equipped or no hat is equipped, there is no buffed weight cap for the Hatrack.
  • Otherwise, the weight is capped at floor(Hat power / 4).
  • Unbuffed weight cap of 20 still applies for any hat.
• It seems that if there is no magical enchantment, or if the enchantment is very weak, there is only one effect.
• When no hat is equipped, provides roughly +50% item drop bonus to hats.

[edit] References

• The name and the fact that this is March's item-of-the-month are references to the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.
• "Hatstand" (or hat stand, another term for a hatrack) is a British slang expression meaning mad or insane.
• "Hat trick" is a sporting term meaning the same thing happening three times, although in the case of the Haiku it is instead a pun on the ability of the familiar.
• Chapeau is French for hat.
• The miniature gravy-covered maypole combat message is a reference to Gnarls Barkley's song Crazy.
