[[The Mad Tea Party|Tea party]] hats that are actually useful in a run. This table is mostly aimed at players in Hardcore mode.
[[The Mad Tea Party|Tea party]] buffs that are useful and relatively easy to acquire in-run.


Note: "when it's worth pursuing" means "under what conditions would I invest turns or other resources into ''obtaining'' this hat", not "under what conditions would I use this buff if I magically happen to have this hat in my sack".  (However, some people have edited this table to include the latter information, particularly on hats whose acquisition cost is negligible.)

Buffs that directly help with quests, and whose hats can be acquired without spending turns in non-quest zones.
