Robin Hood hat

The Robin hood hat requires level 40 Ranged to wear and can be obtained by completing level 3 Treasure Trails, or from other players. The Robin Hood hat also gives the third highest ranged Attack bonus for the helm slot among non-degradeable armour. It is surpassed only by the 3rd age range coif and Armadyl helmet.

After the Behind the Scenes announcement for March 2007, which stated "hold on to your Robin Hood hats", many players misinterpreted this and thought the hats would become discontinued. After this, prices skyrocketed briefly before people realised that the hats would not be discontinued.

Trivia

 * A non-player character, Robin, as well as a Circus barker wears this hat. The hat is based on the English folklore hero Robin Hood.
 * The Robin hood hat is only valued at 180 coins at a general store, yet it is a rare level 3 clue reward.
 * After the trade limit was set and drop trading wasn't possible. Players could sell a Robin Hood Hat to the general store for 180 coins, and buy for roughly the same price whilst the street value was 2-3M. This was a popular way of transferring money between accounts until Jagex fixed it.
 * When performing the Freeze and Melt Emote (unlocked from 2008 Christmas event) looking at the character from the side a little orange bit will appear to be sticking out.
 * Just like Ranger boots, they are expected to rise rapidly over the coming years, but will never exceed over about 5 million coins as this is similar to the price of the Armadyl helmet which currently has the highest stats.
