Is there anyone else who's annoyed at how stupid it looks? Everyone else gets awesome-looking spiked helmets or hoods and such while mages are stuck running around looking completely ridiculous. Is there any way to use its effect on a different head armour skin? Or is there any head armour that's comparably powerful? I'm just grasping at straws here.
Nah, it's THE headgear for mages. I suppose the Silver Coronet does give you a little more MP, but aside from that it's the way to go. Besides, I like the ol' custard tornado.

Don't worry…if you're any good at all, your enemies will be fried to a crisp before they even THINK about laughing ^_^

Ask my anything. About Magic, that is.
you know what I find annoying about the Monk's head collar? Sometimes, when I am locked on to a target, I can't gauge the distance between me and them well enough because A GIANT YELLOW TORNADO is obscuring my view. I've died a few times because I can't see the animation that my enemy is using, which makes close range kiting extremely dangerous.
And here I was thinking it's just a matter of aesthetics, when in fact, it's life and death
wearing monk's head collar makes you look like a pro ")
usually if i see a large, yellow object on someone's head in PvP, i can reasonably assume i'm facing a mage.
thats why i make my spellcasting characters have the silver coronet or the ancient kings helmet, the monk's collar is just not subtle enough for my style.
however the magic boost it gives makes it an excellent choice for pure magic builds on hyper mode.
Couldn't find a bunny with toast, ah well.

Or someone who likes looking goofy, it makes the kill much more satisfying when you look like a tard
yeah its hilarious winning a fight and then spinning in a circle to imitate a whirlwind during there death animations.
LMFAO! i have yet to see that. how could you be mad when someone's doin the tornado over your body. :D

Building up char, will delevel for PvP's later. Happy to help with Bosses.
Add me and say you were from Wikidot so I will accept. Any kind of trade, as far as we can complete it, is accepted.
?? SL 286 and you still dont have the Monk's Head Wrappings.
It's about time i had a Forum signature !
Now, what shall i write here ?
Ummmm, ( thinking ) …..
Is it wrong to find The Maiden In Black very attractive ? xx
Yeah, that's weird.
OP: Have you never put your blue ss down in World 3? Ever?
You can get one pretty easily: go to World 3 and put your blue sign down someone out of the way where no one will pick it up. Wait a few minutes and you will be summoned to the 3-3 Boss fight. Beat the player and its yours. Or, if the player gets killed before getting to you you still get it.
Now, being such a high level, I'm not 100% certain this will work for you.
General Question: Are you only summoned to fight a player if they are near your SL (same as in PvP)? Would he need someone in his SL range to be going through 3-3 in body form?
If you mean your character tendency will go toward black if you get it, most likely this is true. In order to get it you have to be picked by the Old Monk to invade as a Black Phantom (either by using a Blue eye stone or Black eye stone anywhere in Latria) to fight as the Archdemon. Now, I read that if the host dies you get it and your CT goes down. I'm not sure that this is the case. My thoughts are that you actually have to kill the player, since my CT didn't go down when the player died before getting to play against me. I still got the collar.
If you mean you have to have a low - blackish character tendency to get the collar, then no, you don't. Just be online, in soul form, place a blue or black stone and you have a chance of getting called. I got called by accident, because I thought it was just the black stone and wanted to be a Blue Phantom to help someone at the Fool's Idol boss. Surprise, I got summoned to be Old Monk.
Right, your character can have any character tendency and be summoned as the boss. Also, you can be summoned when using the Black Eye Stone, Blue Eye Stone, or Red Eye Stone, but the Blue and Red are more reliable than the Black.
If you are summoned as the boss, your character tendency WILL NOT shift toward Black if the Host player gets killed by regular enemies (or the Makoto Sword) before reaching the boss area. However, if you actually kill the Host, your character tendency WILL shift toward Black. You do have to be within the Host's Soul Level range, but the Host does not have to be in body form for you to be summoned as the boss (I've been on both sides of that).
If you did not intend to be summoned as the boss, you can leave using the White Eye Stone with no penalty. Just do it before the Host enters the fog.
If you're summoned as the boss, and you already have a Monk's Head Collar (or several hundred), don't equip one during the fight, because you'll be wearing one by default, and two identical items won't stack. Wear either a Silver Coronet for more Magic points, or something protective. You'll get the benefit of two different head items.
Bring various weapons and armor to the fight, and listen to the Host battle the enemies on his way up the stairs. Pay attention to whether the Host kills the Bugs and Octopus Guards with melee or spells, and adjust your equipment, accordingly. If he uses Soul Light/Ray, have your Dark Silver Shield ready. If he uses fire-based spells, equip your flame defenses.
Stand away from the doorway, in order to avoid cloud spells or Rage Of God cast through the fog by the Host; and don't activate any noisy defensive spells that give away your position, until after the Host has entered the fog.
Im never have chance to get this head collar. :/ I now that weird.
