The hat reduces MP consumption in battle by 25% (rounded up) and provides Defense of +4 (+8 in the remakes).  They are dropped by [[Tyrannodactyl]], [[Pazuzu]], and [[Hargon]] with a rate of 1/128, and 1/16 times by [[Liquid Metal Slime]]s in the remakes. Fortunately, the GBC and Phone Version has one obtainable in a chest at the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. It is also the only helmet equip-able by the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]

The hat reduces MP consumption by 25% +1 as before, and provides Defense of +8. They are dropped by [[Firn fiend]] with a rate of 1/128, and may be equipped by [[priest]]s, [[mage]]s, and [[sage]]s. The MP reduction rate can be combined with the [[Glombolero]] for extra-economic casting.

Because of the minuscule drop rate and the absence of any chests that contain the topper, it is '''strongly''' recommended to bring a [[thief]] when attempting to snag one.
