Tracker's Hat is the Rare head piece of the Tracker's Leathers set in Windrose. It is crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop after unlocking the Plans: Tracker's Hat recipe.
Overview
Rarity: Rare
Slot: Head
Set: Tracker's Leathers
Item Level: Base ilvl 1; scales to ilvl 11 through tier upgrades
In-game description
"Well-treated, thick leather can withstand even a crocodile's bite. Wearing it makes moving about feel safer."
Defense
Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Tracker's Hat has three crafting tiers that set its base Defense. Each tier can be upgraded several more levels at the Upgrading Station using the same recipe materials.
Item Level | Defense | Craft Tier |
|---|---|---|
1 | 100 DEF | Base tier |
6 | 160 DEF | Second tier (upgraded recipe) |
11 | 200 DEF | Third tier (top recipe) |
Crafting
Requires the craft plan Plans: Tracker's Hat to be unlocked first. The plan is unlocked through progression with the Rogue Buccaneers faction at higher Reputation Ranks beyond the torso and legs plans that open at Rank 2.
Item Level | Station | Materials |
|---|---|---|
1 | 3 Rough Hide, 2 Coarse Fabric | |
6 | 3 Tanned Leather, 2 Linen Fabric, 1 Master's Tools | |
11 |
Each tier unlocks a new workshop attachment: the Shoemaker's Bench at ilvl 6 and the Material Rack at ilvl 11. Both attach to the Armor and Clothing Workshop and require its Bonfire coverage to function.
Set bonuses
Tracker's Hat counts toward the Tracker's Leathers 5-piece set. Set bonuses apply globally once the stated number of pieces are equipped at the same time.
Pieces | Bonus |
|---|---|
2-piece | Increases effectiveness of all healing by 35%. |
4-piece | Increases Damage Resistance by 15%. |
Flavor text
"Crocodiles are scary, naturally. People, however, are scarier."
Notes
Tracker's Hat covers the head slot for this set. Match it with the other four pieces for the full 4-piece set bonus.
Counts as one piece toward the Tracker's Leathers 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses: pairing it with a second piece from the same set is usually the minimum to get value out of the plan.
Tracker's Hat has been observed as a 100% chance chest drop in the Swamp Garden Ruin in community loot logs on windrose.tools, which provides a zero-material acquisition path alongside the Rogue Buccaneers plan.
