Helmet

Armor · ArmorHead1

Helmet is 105th of 202 head pieces by defense, at 45 against the 650 of Ancient Helm.

Wearing it also carries the effect Electric Damage Reduction Lv. 1, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.

It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.

It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot.

Helmet Crafting Recipe

Work: 30000

Crafting it takes 37 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 30× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Helmet

Helmet is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Helmet

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 30 to 120, a 4x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Schematics That Unlock Helmet

Helmet is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Graduation Cap matches it exactly at 45 defense — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw defense, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Metal Helm at 50; below it is Monarch's Crown at 45.
