at least one of those thee new hats is 'kind of' noteworthy (at least it's the one and only listed here for +50 Max-HP and it's a reliable drop...)

viking helmet is even in the ZS-strategy; also, I'm sick of reading text over and over again that would belong to the talk page. Either do something about it or leave it.

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.)
