| Location | Skull Cavern |
The Blue Cowboy Hat is loot, not a reward. It sits in the prize pool of the treasure rooms that occasionally appear while descending the Skull Cavern, and it turns up on roughly one visit in fifty to those rooms. No achievement unlocks it and no shop stocks it, so the only way to get one is to keep going down. A handful of thinner routes exist in the Mines as well, which is why it sometimes drops on a farm that has never carried the Skull Key. Among the cowboy hats it is the one that looks like a pair of jeans, and it is the only one that has to be dug out of the desert.
Location
Getting into the Skull Cavern needs two things: a bus running to the Calico Desert, and the Skull Key from the chest on floor one hundred and twenty of the Mines. There is no lift down there, so every visit starts at the first floor and the only way to make progress is to hurry. Staircases crafted from stone skip a level each, and the holes that open in the rock drop the farmer a floor for free.
Treasure rooms are the main prize. They appear at random while descending, and a high daily luck reading or a luck dish such as Lucky Lunch or Spicy Eel makes them more common. The hat is one of the items those rooms can hold, so a long lucky run is the practical approach rather than a short careful one.
The Mines hand the hat over far less often. It shows up as a rare special item on the way down, out of smashed crates and barrels, and from the special drops that stronger monsters leave. The same drop appears while Mr. Qi's Danger In The Deep order is active, and once the Shrine of Challenge has been switched on, the blue slimes roaming the dangerous Mines can leave one behind.
Effect
The hat is cut from denim and sits in a cool, washed-out blue, so it reads as softer than the leather cowboy hats. It goes well with a plain shirt and suits a farmer who wants the rancher look without the dust. Nothing about it helps underground, which is the usual joke about mining trophies. It can be lifted off and placed on a horse, which is arguably where a denim Cowboy Hat belongs.
Notes
Luck food is worth cooking before a cavern run even if the hat is not the goal. The same buff that fills treasure rooms also raises the chance of the other special drops, and a day spent descending on bad luck tends to end with nothing but stone.
Bombs are the other half of a deep run. They open rock clusters quickly and keep the clock from running out, and the iridium the cavern's monsters drop usually covers their cost.
