The benefit of conserving and wisely using your limited amounts of coins is the reason why wooden caps are not so beneficial to invest in even though at that point it is, in the most technical sense, the best headgear you can have for quite a long while, all the way until you can buy Bronze Helms at Kolima and Silver Circlets at Xian. 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.
