Spading

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. Some hats still need exact formulas/multipliers for what they do (see Notes column).

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.

Table of Hat Effects

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.
• The multiplier in the above table is applied to the weight, not directly to the familiar's effect (except for the Attacks and Restores columns, which use "wt" in the entry).
• Any bonus familiar weight from The Wallaby zodiac sign is applied after the weight cap, and before the multiplier.

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".
