8 magical items in Dungeons & Dragons that everyone wants even though they are useless

Cloak of Billowing

DnD Cloak of Billowing
  • Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), p. 136
  • Item on DnD Beyond

This cloak does nothing. Really nothing except looking cool. Although, there is a reason it is named as it is. Well then:

It can, if you spend a magical action, billow dramatically. For 1 minute. Even without wind. Unlimited. So as often as you like.

So it’s a cloak for anyone who wants a particularly dramatic entrance or is just bored. Those who are creative will surely find a way to use it meaningfully – or if you are a bard, then you can always need it.

Hat of Vermin

  • Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024), p. 267
  • Item on DnD Beyond

With this hat, you can summon a rat, a frog, or a bat by using one of the 3 charges with a magical action. The creature then appears in your hat and tries desperately to break out and escape.

You cannot control it, and it does not care about you. It behaves like any stray animal and disappears after 1 hour or when its hit points drop to 0.

So it’s a completely nonsensical hat, unless you want to impress the masses or find another creative way to use it, such as distracting guards or something like that. The hat regains its charges at dusk.
