Notes
- The sombrero increases stats after combat by √(weight) × (1 + √(ML - 4)) / 10.
- You can use this link to find out the stat gain from Sombrero; just replace X with sombrero weight and Y with monster level.
- The point where a Hovering Sombrero breaks even with a Volleyball of equal weight is monster level 85.
- Sombrero vs Volleyball contains further information about when sombrero- and volleyball-type familiars are best for stat gains based on familiar weights and monster level.
History
- Before NS13, a Hovering Sombrero would have beaten a Volleyball of the same weight at monster level 70.
- Before South of The Border was implemented, the Hovering Sombrero was Jick's seldom-seen personal familiar.
