Apprentice's Hat

Tavernkeep trading and sentry capacity expansion

The Apprentice's Hat is obtained from the Tavernkeep for Defender Medals once any mechanical boss has been vanquished. Providing 7 defense, it raises maximum sentry capacity by 1, elevates magic damage by 10%, and discounts spell mana costs by 10%. This headwear introduces spellcasters to versatile sentry summoning tactics during the mid-Hardmode stage of progression, offering solid utility for mixed combat styles in wave events.

Flameburst targeting range and hybrid spellcasting

Equipping this hat with the Apprentice's Robe and Apprentice's Trousers unlocks the Apprentice set bonus. This set broadens the sight range and projectile speed of Flameburst sentries, allowing them to snipe approaching invaders from afar. Combining these towers with active magic weapons like Golden Shower or Crystal Serpent establishes a balanced defense during the Old One's Army event, halting grounded hordes before they breach gates.
