Version 0.17: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A dirty hat. It bears signs of surviving many weird explosions, which suggests it may have means of protecting the head inside from the risks involved in alchemy experiments. And with the kind of protections granted by this hat, it's certain some prior head damage was a prerequisite for even thinking about such experiments.

Desirability

The hat of the Alchemist is a very desirable artefact for a character with solid AC, providing many useful resistances. The decision is not so clear for low-AC characters, but they will likely want to at least keep it around for certain situations.

History

Prior to 0.16, it provided only rF+, rC+, rElec, and MR+, but had a +2 enchantment.
