Notes

  • Sombrero vs Volleyball contains information about when Sombreros and Volleyball-type familiars are best for stat gains based on familiar weights and monster level.
  • Since you can't gain a fraction of a stat point, what actually happens is that an entire stat point is awarded a fraction of the time. For example, if you have a 15-pound volleyball and should therefore receive 3.75 stats, you will always receive 3 stats, and will receive a 4th stat 75% of the time.
  • With the arrival of NS13, this and the Hovering Sombrero have been nerfed. It is now no longer as effective at high weights ad it is at low weights. (There is no longer a straight bonus per pound- there is a larger bonus per pound at low weights, and a higher one at high weights.)

References

  • This familiar is a reference to the 2000 movie, Cast Away, in which the character played by Tom Hanks is stranded on an island and obtains a volleyball from one the packages he was delivering. He painted a face on the volleyball and named it Wilson. He even spoke to it. To encourage creativity amongst its players, KoL will not let you name your volleyball Wilson. You can, however, use the name Wilson in conjuction with another name.
