Guild Wars 2

First of all, I think it’s a shame that the mage classes in GW2 do not have an option for either purchasing in-game or crafting a Wizard’s type hat that has stat/armor capabilities. But even without the ability to obtain the special hat within the normal conventions of the game, I wish it was made generally more available other than being a periodic offering as part of the town clothes option which, of course, have no stats whatsoever. They are just for appearance.

My question now is whether or not a character can wear the hat while also wearing a “mask”, given that the mask is considered head gear. I hope that one can because I don’t want to give up the stat bonuses that come with the mask.

I don’t understand why Anet is so reluctant to introduce a wizard’kitten as part of a standard option for head gear and, perhaps, even making it a “tailorable” item for the mage type classes.

…just my two cents for what it’s worth…But, again, can anyone tell me if one can wear that hat while simultaneously wearing the facial mask (as opposed to the “hooded” type of head gear?)

Unfortunately, no. The Wizard’kitten is a headgear skin and thus overwrites any other “mask” skin you’re using.
