Just one quick note (not sure if it’s been clarified at all yet):
Buying one complete set of hats, regardless of which one it is, will upgrade your slingshot to whatever the next upgrade is. So if you save your black pearls, buy all the pirate hats first, you will get the bronze slingshot (next upgrade after wooden). Hat sets do NOT correspond to the slingshot levels.
However this strategy will allow you to slog out the harder-to get hats first, then you will fast track to your next 4 upgrades since the earlier hat sets are cheaper.
But doing them in order will possibly allow you to achieve black pearls at a faster rate since higher-scoring birds/slingshots make better win possibilities.
Summary: If you want a diamond slingshot you’re going to have to buy the pirate hat collection sooner or later.
