Yharnam Hunter Cap ❘ ヤーナムの狩帽子

Attire

In-Game Description

    Ludwig, the first hunter of the Healing Church,
    once recruited Yharnamites to serve as hunters.

    This hunter's attire was made for new recruits,
    and has excellent straightforward defense.

    But not nearly enough to allow an ordinary
    man to stand any real chance against the beasts.
Note 1: Different in-game description (right) in US (1) & UK (2) versions (more). ✕
Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓

Overview

  • Each piece of attire contributes to your overall defense and changes your character's appearance. While different pieces of attire do have different effects, the changes are typically not drastic enough to override aesthetic considerations. Information on the highest defense combination of attire can be found on the Highest Defense Armor Sets page.
  • Yharnam Hunter Cap has no highest stat in the head piece category. This cap is part of the Yharnam Hunter Set. Head and chest pieces of this set have a different model and art for male (left) and female (right) characters.


Availability

  • Sold by: Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream]

Clothing Defense

  • Clothing Defense is a percentage reduction after Physical DEF is applied. "Every 10 points of defense is 1% damage reduction." Each type is specific and separate in this category. The entry for "Physical" (read as, Physical damage that's not specifically Thrust or Blunt) doesn't apply to Thrust or Blunt damage, as they each have their own separate numbers. Separate items of clothing stack multiplicatively, rather than additively like you might expect. Hat, chest, arms, legs of 50, 100, 40, 40 respectively for example, would yield 212, or 1000 * (1 - (.95 * .9 * .96 * .96)), rather than 230.
  • Caryll Runes that affect damage resistance stack on top of your Clothing Defense. Note that the "Physical" defense rune increases Physical, Thrust, Blunt, and Blood. "Arcane" only affects Arcane, but not Bolt and Fire, which each have their own rune. These also stack multiplicatively on top of clothing (and each-other). A 5% rune would be like adding a clothing item with 50 defense in that category. In the example above, you'd go from 212 to 251 with a +5% rune. More information can be found in damage reduction page.

Hidden Equip Load

  • Despite hidden "Equip Load" being removed for stamina regeneration with patch 1.04 (more information on the Weight System page). It does affect the fall damage. Equip Load gets higher by equipping pieces of attire and right and left-hand weapons; furthermore, in the case of the weapons, even unequipped ones in your quick menu count. The higher the hidden "Equip Load," the more damage your character will take from the fall damage. Interestingly enough, pieces of attire from The Old Hunters DLC have no weight penalty; therefore, it is as if you would fall naked (more information on the Fall Damage page).

Notes

  • The Yharnam Hunter Cap is available for purchase from the beginning of the game.

The physical stats for the Armor are
W / X / Y / Z:
  • W is Physical defense, has two special subtypes: blunt and thrust. Each physical attack is either normal physical, blunt, or thrust.
  • X is Blunt defense
  • Y is Thrust defense
  • Z is Blood defense: The Blood attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Blood Damage
 The elemental stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Arcane defense: The Arcane attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Arcane Damage
  • Y is Fire defense: The Fire attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Fire Damage
  • Z is Bolt defense: The Bold attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Bolt Damage
 The resistance stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Slow Poison resistance to slow poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Y is Rapid Poison resistance to rapid poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Z is Frenzy resistance to the lure of frenzy. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
 The higher this attribute, the closer you are to beasthood when temporary transformed. Grants a serious increase in ATK power, at the cost of a similarly serious decrease in defense. Points in beasthood thresholds:
  • 1-24: Phys ATK UP x1,2/DEF DOWN x0,8
  • 25-49: Phys ATK UP x1,3/DEF DOWN x0,7
  • 50-99: Phys ATK UP x1,4/DEF DOWN x0,6
