Accessory


 * This article is about the type of catalog item. For the unofficial catalog item titled "Hat", see Catalog:Hat. To view all hats, see Category:Hats.

Accessories (previously known as Hats) are items that users equip to the head, neck or back region of their ROBLOXian.

Obtaining Accessories
The most common way to obtain an accessory is to purchase it from the Catalog using ROBUX or formerly, tickets. Accessories can also be won in Contests or obtained from Gift Hats. There are free accessories made for new users, but anyone can buy them.

Note that accessories are common to become Limited or Limited Unique items, which typically sell for much higher than the original price.

Criticism
Accessories on ROBLOX are known to be the subject of criticism. Most users consider them to be overpriced, in which many of them cost or greater, and expensive to where, usually, only BC members can afford them.

Some of the free accessories were criticized for being ugly when tickets were removed.

Counter
The main purpose of ROBLOX is for gaming and building, not holding a fashion show. Accessories on ROBLOX is just an addition for ROBLOXian. Gameplay is not affected how you look.

Robux is affordable to everyone. You can have by paying 5 USD to ROBLOX only.

Most of RP games or fashion show games provided many ways for you to dress up without buying any accessories on Catalog.

Limited Accessories


Limited hats are hats that were once sold, but then chosen to be put on limited sale. When put on limited sale, no new copies of this hat will be produced, and the people who bought the accessory during its sale will be able to sell the hat at a price chosen to their desire, given that the user has a form of Builders Club.

Limited Unique Accessories


Limited unique accessories are accessories that have a certain amount of copies, and when first published, are sold by the admins. All copies of a limited unique accessory have a special number to it, and when a user buys the hat, he gets that specific copy of the accessory. For example, if an accessory is limited unique, and has only 100 copies, and you by the 50th, your accessory will be designated by a #50/100. Once the accessory is sold out, all owners of the hat with Builders Club can sell the hat at a price they desire.

Because these accessories have a designated number, many users try to collect limited unique hats with that specific number.



Triple Hat Feature
After a while, wearing hats got boring to some people. This is why they created programs that allowed you to wear multiple hats. This was called a Double Hat Glitch (DHG), Triple Hat Glitch (THG), etc., based on how many you were wearing. The admins saw this and realized they needed to add the Triple Hat Feature, which would allow you to wear up to three hats without needing to use a user-made program. The Triple Hat Feature was implemented on June 8, 2010. Go to your character page and find some neat hat combos!

Trivia

 * Development on accessories began in 2007, and continue to this day.
 * In 2007, ROBLOX tried to use/test hair but failed.
 * Since accessories make ROBLOXians heavier, the rocket boots fly slower and players jump lower.
 * Accessories can assist you in sword fighting, as they make you heavy and lunge.
 * Administrators are currently the only users who can make accessories typically using the user ROBLOX. However, by 2017, ROBLOX will allow non-admins to make accessories. A common admin to make accessories and other kinds of items in the catalog is Tarabyte, who occasionally posts on the Forum.
 * Most accessories only fit the default head, however some accessories fit other heads, like the Blockhead Baseball Cap.
 * If you had only 1 accessory in your avatar then attempting to pick up another hat in-game, they cannot wear it unless they drop the hat that they are wearing, the using the = key.
 * Wearing more than 4 accessories is caused by spamming hat givers like they got a fedora, then a different fedora, a glass, then headphones.
 * ROBLOX usually makes accessories on random days, or on a holiday, which is notified as "New" on the top right corner of the accessory's picture. The tag is removed after about three days. Some items classified as "New" by the tag are free.NewTag.jpg
 * If a player drops all of their accessories, they may only pick one back up. This is most likely because of the code not being changed from being allowed to wear one accessory to three.CurrentNewTag.pngCurrentNewTagWithTimer.jpg
