The hatter provides an easy way to get all these special or custom headgears, especially without putting too much stress on the GMs.

There are a lot of headgears in RO, and it would take quite a long time to design and make quests for all the ones that lack that (and you would need to do it for all of them, because just selecting a few headgears for quests would be kind of unfair). Meanwhile, the hatter already exists, and it's easy to add something to him.

BUT the downside to the hatter is his randomness. You will almost NEVER get what you want out of the old bastard. The more hats he has, the less likely you are to get what you want out of him simply because he has a larger variety of JUNK to give you.

Sure, the hatter may be an Easy quest, but you have to do it thousands upon thousands of times to even get anywhere. Tedious Quest is Tedious

Also,??a couple of the hatter hats have already had their official quests Implemented~
