The '''hat of the Bear Spirit''' essentially combines the advantages of an [[amulet of rage]], an [[amulet of guardian spirit]], part of an [[amulet of warding]], and a slightly buffed [[ring of protection from magic]] together. Any character with [[MP]] to spare and a bit of [[Evocations]] training should keep an eye out for it; barring an excellent [[randart]] or the [[hat of the Alchemist]], you are unlikely to find a more useful piece of headwear.

Desirability

The hat of the Bear Spirit[1] is a dangerous item for melee characters, if only due to the *Rage. However, it does provide some useful buffs. So as long as you can handle the berserk by pre-emptively controlling fights, and don't always use it, this hat can prove to be somewhat useful.

For non-melee characters, *Rage can be safely ignored, since Ranged Weapons, spells, and other non-melee actions don't activate the berserk. Thus, it becomes an overall great hat. Any MP-related negatives from spirit shield are compensated with a great willpower boost.

Tips & Tricks

  • Casters can inscribe their held item with !a, so that you don't accidentally trigger Bearserk.
  • If you try to melee attack with a ranged weapon, you'll fire a projectile instead, which never triggers Bearserk.

History

  • Prior to 0.29, the hat didn't cause you to go bearserk.
  • Prior to 0.28, the hat of the Bear Spririt had evocable berserk (instead of *Rage), rN+, but no buffs to the berserk status.
  • In 0.14 the MR provided was increased from 50 to 80.
