## Notes we already publish

- (use) The cap is not a pure cosmetic — it carries Water Damage Reduction Lv. 1, which trims 15% off incoming Water damage and stays live for as long as the hat is on your head. There is no HP threshold, no stance and no partner-Pal condition attached to it. Against a Water boss that percentage outweighs the 20 defense on the stat line, and at 4 weight it costs you almost nothing to swap in for a single fight.
- (location) The tag is 5 [[item:BountyProof_1]], and tokens only come off bounty targets — kill or capture the wanted Pal and the token is the payout. Turning tokens into gear means finding a Vigilante Bounty Officer, who posts up inside villages and towns rather than in the field, so a bounty sweep is not spendable until you walk back into a settlement. Nothing else produces this cap: no recipe, no technology unlock, no drop table.
- (strategy) Price-check before you hand over tokens. [[item:HeadEquip052]] and [[item:HeadEquip053]] are the identical 20 defense / 60 HP / 300 durability piece with the same Water resist for 25 [[item:DogCoin]] at the Medal Shop, and a single [[pal:MimicDog]] catch pays out several times that. [[item:HeadEquip059]] repeats the line again for 80 [[item:BattleTicket]]. Five bounty tokens is a fair rate, but it is not the cheapest one — spend them here for the shell, not for the numbers.
- (strategy) [[item:HeadEquip055]] sits on the same shelf at the same 5-token price with the same Water Damage Reduction Lv. 1, so there is no reason to buy both — one Water hat fills the slot. If you want Water mitigation that actually matters, [[item:Accessory_AquaResist_1]] runs Lv. 3 for 30% in an accessory slot, which lets you keep a real helmet on your head and stack the two effects instead of choosing between them.
- (trivia) The shape is [[pal:TentacleTurtle]], a pure Water Pal, and that is exactly why the cap cuts Water damage — every hat on the bounty rack inherits the element of the Pal it copies. The [[pal:TentacleTurtle_Ground]] variant is Water/Ground, but the cap is modelled on the base form and carries only the Water line.
