[[Festival hat]]s are [[costume]] headpieces that are typically only obtainable during [[special events]].

== Acquisition ==
* Obtaining a [[Lion Mask]] for the first time requires having a [[character]] stand in [[Shing Jea Monastery]] when the celestial animal appears during a [[Canthan New Year/Finale|Canthan New Year finale]].
* Obtaining a [[#List of festival hats|Dragon Festival/Day of the Tengu, Halloween or Wintersday festival hat]] for the first time requires three steps:
# Completing a relevant festival quest (each quest can only be completed once per [[account]] each year).
#* [[Spirit of the Celebration]] during [[Dragon Festival]].
#* [[Better You Than Me]] and [[Double Your Pleasure and RUN!]] during [[Halloween]].
#* [[A Humbling Gift]] and [[The Polar Depressed]] during [[Wintersday]].
# Claiming the quest reward, which is a festival hat token.
# Turning in the token to the relevant festival hat token collector [[NPC]].

=== Duplication ===
You can create as many copies of a festival hat as you like, after showing the original to a [[festival hat maker]]. This allows any character on your account to wear any hat, without having to fulfill the requirements above.

== Properties ==
Festival hats share common properties:
* They can be [[trade]]d, but they cannot be worn by other characters, since they are [[customize]]d to the original recipient.
* They cannot be [[salvage]]d.
* They have no [[armor rating]] and cannot be upgraded with [[rune]]s or [[insignia]].
* Unlike other [[costume]]s, most hats cannot be [[dye]]d. Hats that display your character's hair cannot be dyed.
** Dyeable exceptions are: [[Tengu Mask]], [[Lion Mask]], [[Dragon Mask]], [[Sinister Dragon Mask]], [[Imperial Dragon Mask]], [[Mirthful Dragon Mask]], [[Tricorne]], [[Jester's Cap]], and [[Festive Winter Hood]].
** According to [[Kristen Perry]], hats lack a ''dye channel'' for the [[dervish]] professions (since that space was originally used by their hood). ([http://www.massively.com/2010/11/11/costume-design-and-hints-of-whats-to-come-massivelys-intervie/ source])
* They can be [[identification|identified]] once, although this will not reveal any value nor allow them to be sold to a [[merchant]].

== Notes ==
* Festival hats obtained after the [[Feedback:Game updates/20091217|December 17, 2009 update]] are [[costume]] headpieces that are worn (in effect) on top of your armor; visually, they appear to remove and replace any existing headgear. Festival hats obtained before that update:
** Use your character's helm slot instead of the [[costume]] headpiece slot.
** Have an [[armor rating]] of 0 and can be [[infusion|infused]] and upgraded with [[rune]]s; some of them (i.e. [[Demon Mask]], [[Dragon Mask]], [[Grasping Mask]], [[Imperial Dragon Mask]], [[Mummy Mask]], and [[Tengu Mask]]) have an [[insignia]] slot.

== Trivia ==
* In June 2012, [[ArenaNet]] stated that there would not be any new hats for future festivals due to lack of art resources ([https://web.archive.org/web/20131103005555/https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/forums/news/June-21-2012-Update-Notes/page/1#post11864 source]).
** Originally, there was at least one new hat for each [[Dragon Festival]], [[Halloween]], and [[Wintersday]]. Each festival had its own specific requirements, typically distributed as part of the event's finale and usually obtainable after the event in exchange for a large quantity of a special event item.
*** During a Dragon's Festival, Halloween or Wintersday finale, if a character's [[inventory]] was full, the hat would be dropped on the ground, [[assign]]ed to the character (and could be picked up by anyone after the assignment period ended). This still occurs with the Lion Mask during a Canthan New Year finale.
