The Bowler Hat has an almost comically proper look to it, which makes it a fun contrast to Palworld’s usual survival gear and makeshift equipment.
It looks right at home on a character dressed in more formal clothing, but it can be even funnier when paired with rugged armor or an otherwise serious-looking outfit.
There is something enjoyable about having a character running around the Palpagos Islands looking like they are on their way to a very important appointment.
Where To Get Bowler Hat?
You can obtain the Bowler Hat Schematic 1 from a Wandering Merchant for 500 Gold, which unlocks the recipe for crafting the Common Bowler Hat.
The schematic allows you to produce the hat yourself once you have the required materials, rather than giving you a finished Bowler Hat directly.
Crafting the Common version requires 15 Cloth, making the hat fairly inexpensive to produce once you have obtained its schematic.
Bowler Hat Effects
The Bowler Hat is more than an outfit piece, giving your character a useful amount of basic protection together with resistance to Neutral damage.
That makes it perfectly usable as everyday headgear, particularly if its appearance happens to fit the character you are putting together.
- 20 Defense
- 60 Health
- 300 Durability
- Neutral Damage Reduction Lv. 1 (15%)
Bowler Hat Uses
The fun of the Bowler Hat comes largely from what you pair it with, since its formal appearance can create some deliberately odd combinations with the rest of your equipment.
Try it with a suit-like outfit for a surprisingly convincing gentleman look, or throw it on a heavily armored character for the complete opposite effect.
It is also worth keeping after you upgrade because the Antique Dresser can let you use the Bowler Hat’s appearance on compatible headgear with better stats.
How To Equip Bowler Hat?
Once you have crafted one, equip the Bowler Hat through the Head Armor Slot in your inventory and it will function as your active headgear.
Its defensive bonuses are passive, so you do not need to trigger anything after putting it on.
For an appearance-only setup, keep a Bowler Hat in your base and select its design through the Antique Dresser when customizing compatible headgear.
Verdict
The Bowler Hat is not trying to be intimidating or flashy, and that is exactly what makes it entertaining among Palworld’s more unusual equipment choices.
It gives you a proper old-fashioned look that can either complete a themed outfit or make an otherwise serious character look intentionally ridiculous.
With useful defensive properties and an inexpensive schematic, it is an easy piece to add to the wardrobe even if you mainly want it for laughs.
