Headgear Quest — Gear Exchange
Some of the strongest headgear and gear on DewataRO used to come only from the Cash Shop or Gacha boxes. The Headgear Quest NPC lets you forge 55 of those pieces yourself, using materials that drop from monsters plus some Zeny and coins — no cash required.
Where to Find It
The Headgear Quest NPC stands in Prontera at 165,165, near the central plaza services. Talk to it and choose "Show me what you can forge" to open the exchange list.
The interface is the same barter shop used by the Abyss Lake 4F "Redhead" Dragon-gear craft: pick the piece you want and the window shows everything it costs. You need the full recipe in your inventory — the exchange takes the materials and hands you the finished gear instantly.
What Every Recipe Needs
Each piece has its own recipe, but they all share the same four currencies plus a monster drop:
- Zeny — 150,000 to 13,000,000 depending on tier
- Dewata Coin — 15 to 70 (earn from the Daily Quest and events)
- Activity Coin — twice the Dewata Coin amount (30 to 140; earned just by playing)
- Gold — 0 to 13 (the standard Gold item, ID 969)
- A stack of Cards — 10 of a specific monster card
- A big stack of a Drop Item — 1,000 to 2,500 of a monster drop
- Heavy materials come as Pouches. Four recipes need 1,500 of something too heavy to ever carry at once (Small Dragon Bone, 2carat Diamond, White Herb). The NPC's "Compress heavy materials" menu packs every 100 pieces into one light Pouch — farm in batches, compress each trip, craft with 15 Pouches. Pouches are tradeable, just like the raw materials.
- Every headgear from this NPC is tradeable (since September 7, 2026). The three Booster Scarves and the Amistr Cap used to carry official trade locks; those are lifted, and the change applies to copies you already own.
Every material drops from a farmable monster, so all 55 pieces are fully craftable — nothing is locked behind a box you can't get.

Tips
- Farming the 1,000+ drop-item stack is the slow part — pick the piece whose monster you can kill fastest and camp its map.
- Dewata Coin comes from the Daily Quest and events; stockpile it before you start so the coin cost never blocks a craft.
- The gear you forge is identical to the Cash Shop / Gacha version — same stats, same look. This is purely a second, no-cash way to get it.
- Nothing is consumed until you confirm the exchange, so you can browse the full list freely.
Batch 2 (September 2026)
Twenty more craftable pieces. Same rules as above — and the heavy materials here also come as Pouches (Mystic Frozen, Yellow Herb, Holy Water, Blue Herb join the compressor menu).
