Noob question....+1 hat? - Guild Wars Forums

Here is what I am sure many of you are going to consider a noob question, but since I only got the game two days ago I have no problem admitting I am a noob...lol. I have seen many posts regarding builds and I have noticed +1 hat in many of them. Can someone tell me what the means? I have figured out +1 rune, but not +1 hat. Thank you in advance

Some headgear can have a +1 attribute modifier (e.g. Dragon Helm has +1 to Strength and is part of the Dragon Armour Warrior) - good starting point is the Armour page on GWWiki

It's just a Helmet or "armour for your head" that has a built in +1 point in your skills. For each profession they are a wide range of "head armours" for the different Attribute Chains (Attrib Chain= Swordsmanship, Expertise, Fire Magic etc).

Let's say I had a Level 10 Monk with 6 in Healing Prayers, I can craft a "hat" with a +1 Healing Prayers built into it.

When I wear this hat my Healing Prayers is boosted to 7, because of the +1.

Basically it is exactly the same as a minor rune. Runes don't add together if they are the same Attrib Chain (You can't add 2 minor runes of healingand get +2, you will only get +1), but the special hats do add to runes to boost the Attrib Chain even more.

Check in major cities for “armor” crafters they have the headpieces for all classes. You have to be out of pre-searing In Prophesies and make it to Seitung Harbor In Factions to get them. The crafters should be available in every major town after that.

Basicly a atribute hat it gives you +1, thats how you get certain atributes to 16 , helm and sup rune combined.
