1) Is it true? Example: skull cap, Crown of deceit, ninja scroll.
2) If I remember correctly, a VERY long time ago when Kafra Shop first came out, Heim stated the focus will be on headgears and headgears only; otherwise it would be stepping over the line into ExTrEmE p2w. I believe other servers in other countries (now shutdown) had put MVP cards and other retardly OvErPoWeReD gears in KafraShop and hence why they are now shutdown once the company milked the $$$ from players. Please Correct me if I'm mistaken.
3) But what kind of frustrates me is the Skull cap/ TSoD combination. It is the best 1-H PVM in the game I think and is worth 1+B zeny.
PVP? Red Pom Band. You won't do damage/kill anyone running around in Feather beret; but other classes can go easily with any headgear without sacrificing much damage.
4) Most other classes don't have these Kafra shop items that "you need" in order to be pretty good in damage. For example: RK IB build? twin edge of naught sieger (red) or equivalent.
Here is my list of headgears PVM that needs validated/proofed against the top usefulness.
1. +9 Skull Cap of caster
2. +9 CoD of caster. (close to #1, subjective!)
3. +9 Moon Rabbit hat of caster?
4. hat[1]
EDIT: there is a HUGE gap in damage according to http://upaste.me/calc/ between a +9 Skull cap/CoD vs +9 Moon Rabbit of caster.
