Desirability

The hat of Pondering provides extremely useful bonuses to any character's spellcasting, but can you afford the movement speed penalty? That's up to you to decide. Luckily, this hat is most beneficial to those who are likely to have the means to speed themselves up, i.e. casters with Swiftness or Haste.

Although it's annoying to swap gear on and off, you can remove this hat quickly enough that you should be able to do so and still safely outrun anything as fast as you normally are, so long as you've got a few spaces between you.
