<p>They mainly use it when they can't afford a Gnome Helmet<img alt="" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/9/97/Gnome_Helmet.gif/revision/latest?cb=20171108141047&path-prefix=en" style="height:32px; width:32px"> (+2 ml, 2 imbuing slots) or a Falcon Circlet <img alt="" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/6/65/Falcon_Circlet.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180605182034&path-prefix=en" style="height:32px; width:32px"> (+3 ml, width:32px"> (+2 ml, 2 imbuing slots).</p><p>The next best helmet for mages to use is the Yalahari Mask <img alt="" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/f/f6/Yalahari_Mask.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170904202045&path-prefix=en" style="height:32px; width:32px">(+2 ml, 1 imbuing slot), but since it only has 1 imbuing slot, you have to choose between getting some extra ml or mana leech, and if you are going to a place where you need those extra magic levels and also some mana leech to help you keep up with your mana, then it is better to use a Mage Hat <img alt="" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/d/d9/Mage_Hat.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170904201805&path-prefix=en" style="height:32px; width:32px">which doesn't give you any extra ml but has 2 imbuing slots and you can imbue it with magic lvl and mana leech, but it is only worth it if you use T3 imbue (+4 ml), since T2 gives you only +2 ml, which would end up being the same as having the Yalahari Mask </p>
