First Mate Hat

I have given considerable space in previous posts to extolling the virtues of the various eyepatches for would be pirates without the First Mate Hat. I still think they are an excellent way to go for those who can wear leather.

But having haunted the AH for a couple of weeks, I pounced on the First Mate Hat when someone who did not know its rarity listed it with a buyout of 10g and change. 1:10,000 drop rate. I would have paid 1,500g.

The broken bottle, by the way, is Barman Shanker, a rare item that drops from the barkeep in the Grim Guzzler in Black Rock Depths. It has an 8% drop rate, and I got it on the 5th try.

I do like the hat...
