Mythril Hat

Shaping the mythril marksman coif

Fabricated from 10 Mythril Bar ingots at an anvil station, the hat provides 6 defense alongside 12% increased ranged damage and 7% increased ranged critical strike chance. It acts as the mid-tier Hardmode headgear for archers and gunners seeking an immediate offensive upgrade over pre-Hardmode gear. Smelting the required ingots takes 40 raw mythril ore gathered from cavern deposits using a cobalt or palladium pickaxe.

Ammunition conservation and repeater efficiency

Equipping the hat with Mythril Chainmail and Mythril Greaves activates a set bonus granting a 20% chance to conserve ammunition. When firing high-velocity bullets or cursed arrows against The Destroyer, this reduction stacks with accessories like the Ammo Box to preserve valuable ammunition stocks throughout drawn-out nighttime battles, making it highly economical for ranged progression.

Trivia

• Mythril Hat requires fewer bars to craft than the Tier 3 ranged helms while offering early ammo savings.
• The 20% ammo saving bonus stacks additively with standard ammo conservation potions.
