A Wooden Cap (ウッドキャップ, Wood Cap^?) is a Hat-class headwear available throughout the Golden Sun series.

In Golden Sun and The Lost Age

In Golden Sun, Wooden Caps are not very useful to buy at Bilibin when comparing its hefty price tag and comparatively small Defensive increase to the limited money reserves available. Thus, it is more worthwhile to retain the Open Helms and Circlet Isaac, Garet and Ivan will each have. Once Mia joins the party, she will have a Wooden Cap as her beginning headwear. This array of headgear will last until the player reaches Kolima Village and Xian, where the player can find Bronze Helms and Silver Circlets respectively. Wooden Caps continue to be sold both at those settlements and at the next settlement, Altin.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age, a Wooden Cap might never be bought because it can only be first bought when you go to Garoh after completing the Air's Rock dungeon and getting the Reveal Psynergy to engage in the cutscenes that will update the town and cause its vendors to be open for normal business. Meaning, you will have been able to buy a stronger Bronze Helm for Felix much earlier at Mikasalla, find the Hat artifact Nurse's Cap in a chest even earlier in the town Madra, and find the Circlet artifact Clarity Circlet in a chest in Air's Rock. Wooden Caps continue to be sold at Naribwe.

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

In Dark Dawn, the purchase of Wooden Caps in Kaocho is largely up to player preference. The player will already have access to Open Helms and Circlets for their party members. In addition, the next town, Ayuthay, sells stronger Bronze Helms and Silver Circlets. Thus, it is perfectly reasonable for the player to hold off on buying Wooden Caps in favor of these stronger pieces of headwear.
