Today I am in the mood for a pirate hat. Yarr! Here are the ways I know of to get a pirate hat that you can actually wear on the head of your World of Warcraft character, from easiest to hardest:
1. Savory Deviate Delight
Whip up a batch of Savory Deviate Delight, gobble it down, and you have a 50/50 chance of transforming into a pirate for one hour, complete with little black pirate hat. Note that the other 50% of the time you will be transformed into a ninja -- if this happens, eat more Savory Deviate Delight until you're suitably piratical.
Cooks (level 85+) can make Savory Deviate Delight from Deviate Fish if they've learned the rare Savory Deviate Delight recipe. The recipe may be on the auction house, but it is usually quite pricey -- it randomly drops off mobs in The Barrens and farming for it is extremely difficult.
Tip: You can get a similar pirate transformation effect by having a Hallowed Wand - Pirate used upon you. These wands are in Treat Bags during the Hallow's End event around Halloween.
2. Admiral's Hat
To wear this hat, first know you must be level 48 or higher. Visit your favorite tailor -- or check the Auction House -- for this little black beauty. The hat looks different than the one that appears on your head while in pirate transformation -- the orientation is from front of back rather than side to side.
Tailors: If you want to craft this hat, go to the southern tip of Stranglethorn Vale and look for Cowardly Crosby in a camp of Bloodsails. He sells the pattern for about 60 silver, but it's in limited quantity so you may need to wait a bit for it to come back in stock. You'll then need to find six Long Elegant Feathers which drop off hippogryphs in Feralas and gryphons in The Hinterlands, which can be a mite hard.
3. Bloodsail Admiral's Hat
This is a red version of the Admiral's Hat mention above -- and, as an added bonus, when you click it a red Blood Parrot pet appears! The hat is a reward from completing the Avast Ye, Admiral! quest, which is only available by gaining a Friendly reputation with the Bloodsail Buccaneers. To do this, you must kill Steamwheedle Cartel goblins in Booty Bay, which takes about five hours on a level 80. I wouldn't recommend attempting this until you are at least 70.
That's it! Does anyone else know of ways to get a pirate hat in the game?
