According to Gaile Gray (Kamadan Chat moments ago):
New Hat NPC will copy festival hats you own from one character to another. They remain customized to the new character and are undyed.
Hero's Ascent will be limited to two Heroes and/or Henchmen in any given team.
The chat logs are now available in the usual places.

Gaile Gray is in ID1 Kamadan right now giving announcements
Tachyon
Apparently there was someone running around LA shouting about this. Personally though, I'll believe it when I see it.
Brianna
Oh? may we see some screenshots of the chat log?

Lie. I find it funny that the OP actually trusts someone in Lion's Arch.
EDIT: It's apparently true...

I'm currently in ID2 kamadan, but there's someone relaying information to us in distrcit 2. Gaile Gray plans to post on fan forums about future skill balances. There will be a change to HA (unknown what exactly), and there will be a permenant hat festival NPC. You'll see this all soon in the chatlogs.

The Festival Hat npc will be able to copy hats for your other characters and respawn them. It will not be able to copy hats for other people.
You must show the npc the hat in order for him to copy.

In both LA and Kamadan, there will be a new Festival Hat NPC. The Festival Hat person will help you in this way. He will be able to copy your seasonal hats and share them with all characters on your account. |

Much like having all hats accessable to all characters easily, right?

So it has to be a hat from your account? And not borrow someone elses hat?

More news: Heroes' Ascent
There will be a limit of 2 heroes/henchmen in a team in HA at any given time.

Just something I'm wondering; What happens to the male and female versions of the wizard/witch hats from this years halloween? If a male character copies his wizard hat for a female character, does it change to the witch version?
zelira
Would this be considered the new holiday storage?
As in you don't have to hold onto 8 copies of the same hat any longer. All you need is 1 and dup them when you want to?

Err...what's the purpose?
My situation: I have all hats for my main character only and I'm keeping them in the storage (the "real" storage), because the belt pouch and the bags are occupied by multiple armor sets.
With this new npc i can make copies of my hats for the other chars.
How is this supposed to save some storage room? I can just make copies of them, but I still have to keep them somewhere.

You can always delete your masks and get them later, for only 10 gold, when you need them Mahanaxar. You won't have to keep it because of free of losing it now.
Fates
No, you dont have to keep them. Show them, he keeps the record of you having them, delete them. Pay 10g whenever you want one to show off.

Regardless of which character wears the hats I have been there with the event and took the time to get it. If I would be able to get one of the hats of the events in which I haven't participated, it would be cheap.
Oh well, maybe because I haven't played that long yet, I don't value the individual characters enough compared to the complete acount

This is awesome

I like it
It will save storage space and make the scramble to get hats for multiple characters unnecessary

If the hats were account based only, and you can't give you hat to a friend to duplicate. it's not really making the hat any less special. You got a hat on a character because you were there for the first wintersday event as when tengu, Halloween, etc event. and Just cause you make a character after that date and it doesn't get to have a hat because you didn't make it in time and/or its another campaign that wasn't available to get a hat. Still makes it special, since your jsut sharing it within your own account just to other later made characters.
Now.. if you can give you hat to a friend to let him/her duplicate, that's a whole different story. D:
korcan
i believe that a copy of your hat will stay saved on the hat npc so once the hat npc has a copy of it you no longer need to keep it in your storage. ever toon on your account can just go to the hat npc and have it crafted for them.
im just wondering how long the hat npcs will be around. will they always be in kam and la? or will they only be accessible during special events?

Great! But a tad late.
I stayed up all night just to get five halloween hats this past year. I went through painstaking farming (there wasn't much, but it hurt) to get six dragon masks.
But hey. Improvements are improvements.

If I can "save" a hat showing it to this new npc, and then freely delete it, that's nice.
If I still need to keep one, that's just plain useless.

Oh this makes me so so happy. i've been wanting a santa hat on my ele forever >.<
gabrial heart
wait..... it's nice and all that you can reproduce the hat, but what? everytime you want the hat you have to go back to this guy to get another one? how is that better then just putting it on a mule? one mule can store every hat they've had so far for about 5 chars, i don't get how this helps at all?? maybe they aren't related?

Just make 1 or 2 rounds for the headgears on 1 character and make copies of those. This will help us a lot more later when we get newer headgear so we don't have to switch characters to get them, we'll only have to make it with 1 character.
