Festival hat
From Guild Wars Wiki
Festival hats are decorative headgear that are typically only obtainable during special events. The festival hats may be considered prestige items as they demonstrate the players were around when a certain event occurred.

[edit] Acquisition
Festival Hats are acquired from certain special events, such as the Dragon Festival and Halloween. Different festival hats have different requirements to be obtained. Requirements generally include gathering a certain number of a specific item, being present at a specific time during the event or talking to a specific NPC. When obtaining a festival hat, if a player's inventory is full, the hat will generally drop on the floor in the town/outpost and be assigned to the character.
Festivals and festival hat pre-requisites are often announced on the log-in screen and on the events page on the official Guild Wars website.
[edit] Properties
Festival hats generally share common properties:
- Festival hats are customized to the original recipient.
- Festival hats have little or no armor rating.
- Certain festival hats can be upgraded with runes and insignia.
- Certain festival hats can be dyed.
- Festival hats cannot be salvaged.
[edit] Festival hat makers
A festival hat maker can copy a festival hat shown to them. After the festival hat has been shown to the festival hat maker, it is available to craft for all characters on that account for a fee of 10 
. The recreated festival hat will be automatically customized for the character who crafts the hat. Festival hat makers will only copy hats that are customized for that account. Although festival hats are tradeable, they cannot be used or copied by characters that are from another account. This means buying festival hats is not recommended.
