Nithix: /* Helmets */

== Helmets ==
Hello Nithix (are you [http://forums.diii.net/member.php?u=330531 Nithix] btw?)! "Or" and "it" in wrong places can be hard to find when you've written an article yourself, wo it's really good of you to help out by fixing that! Is this your first time in a wiki, or have you edited this type of databases before? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:01, 16 December 2008 (CET)

:Yep, that's me. This is the first time I've actually gone as far as fixing anything in wiki. I'm a big fan of the Diablo series since I was introduced to it when Diablo 2 came out. I was playing Diablo 1 when I was 8 or 9, lol. So yeah, if I come across any typos I'll fix them :p --02:38, 21 December 2008 Nithix

:: Aha, I finally found you! I was SURE I recognized the name and most surprised there was no message or contribs in the D3 wiki. =) a fellow Diablo fan, ofc! How did you find the wiki btw? Is there anything in particular you think we could focus more on? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:46, 22 December 2008 (CET)

:::Sorry for not noticing this till now, but hi again. I found the Diablo wiki just browsing Diablo stuff. I've been on the wiki before, just never registered and edited anything. You guys have a lot of good information here, and I can't really think of anything to add besides those pesky little typos I may or may not find. :D--[[User:Nithix|Nithix]] 04:57, 7 January 2009 (CET)

:::: Well, most people don't have that grace, and fixing typos is naturally an essential part of any wiki! Are you visiting the [http://www.diablowiki.net/ Diablo 3 Wiki] at all? Do you have any interest in lore in addition to D2 stuff? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 16:21, 8 January 2009 (CET)

:::::I have been visiting the D3 wiki, though I'm not sure I'm registered there. I might be. Is that wiki linked to this one? I'll have to try to login, lol. I've actually been a Diablo lore junky after about a year of playing the games, but I'm too sure I have anything to write about unless you tell me what you might be missing on the wiki(s).--[[User:Nithix|Nithix]] 23:10, 8 January 2009 (CET)

D1 Unique Helms

2008-12-14T22:13:42Z

Nithix: /* Gotterdammerung */

Unique Headgear found in Diablo and Hellfire. There were no unique helms added in Hellfire. All of the following are found in both games.

The various pieces of unique headgear are among the most useful unique items to be found in Diablo, and several pieces can be found among the end game gear for a variety of character types.

==Diablo Unique Helms==

===Harlequin Crest===
[[Image:D1-u-harlequin-crest.gif|frame]]
This quest item is only found in single player. It's obtained from the innkeeper as a reward for returning the baner in the [[Ogden's Sign]] quest.

The hat's name is familiar to most players since it was used for the similarly-themed, hugely-overpowered unique Shako in the Diablo II Expansion.
* Harlequin Crest
* (Cap)
* +2 all Attributes
* Armor Class: -3
* -1 Damage from Enemies
* +7 Hitpoints
* +7 Mana
* Requirements: None
* Durability: 15
* Qlvl: N/A
* Availability: SP and MP. Hellfire only.

===Thinking Cap===
[[Image:D1-u-thinking-cap.gif|frame]]
The most popular helm for many mages, the Thinking Cap is unusable initially, with just 1 durability. Players who wish to use it must do "shrine runs" in the [[D1 Levels#Church|Church]] or [[D1 Levels#Catacombs|Catacombs]], looking for a [[D1 Shrines|Hidden Shrine]] which may boost the durability of all but one equipped item by 10. In Hellfire it's easier to fix, since Blacksmith's and other [[D1 Hellfire Oils|Oils]] boost item max durability.
* Thinking Cap
* (Skull Cap)
* +30 Mana
* Armor Class: 3
* +2 All Spell Levels
* +20% Resist All
* Altered Durability
* Requirements: None
* Durability: 1
* Qlvl: 6
* Availability: SP and MP.

===Fool's Crest===
[[Image:D1-u-fools-crest.gif|frame]]
An interesting mixture of huge hit point bonus and negative stats to counter it. No one wears this long term, but it can be a useful item during the mid-game.
* Fools Crest
* (Helm)
* Armor Class: 4
* -4 all Attributes
* +100 Hitpoints
* +1 to +6 damage from Enemies (varies)
* Attacker takes 1-3 damage
* Requirements: 25 Strength
* Durability: 30
* Qlvl: 12
* Availability: SP and MP.

===Helm of Sprits===
[[Image:D1-u-helm-of-spirits.gif|frame]]
The name is assumed to be a typo, and the title should probably have been Helm of "Spirits." Despite the very limited bonuses, this is the only way to obtain life leech on anything but a weapon in multiplayer ''Diablo'', and as such it's a very popular helm for warriors.

Unfortunately, it's enormously difficult to find one. Almost every monster that can drop a unique helm will instead drop the Fool's Crest or the Overlord's Helm. Due to the way the Mlvls and Qlvls interact, the best way to find one of these is to repeatedly run The Butcher on nightmare difficulty. The odds are still terrible, since how often does he drop a unique helm? But it is possible.
* Helm of Spirits
* (Helm)
* Armor Class: 5
* Hit steals 5% Life
* Requirements: 25 Strength.
* Durability: 30 Durability.
* Qlvl: 4
* Availability: SP and MP.

===Overlord's Helm===
[[Image:D1-u-overlords-helm.gif|frame]]
A tolerable item for a warrior or a rogue who isn't much concerned with using magic.
* Overlord's Helm
* (Helm)
* -20 to Magic
* +20 Strength
* +15 Dexterity
* +5 Vitality
* Altered Durability
* Armor Class: 5
* Requirements: 20 strength.
* Durability: 15
* Qlvl: 7
* Availability: SP and MP.

===The Undead Crown===
[[Image:D1-u-helm-of-spirits.gif|frame]]
This quest item is dropped by [[D1 Superuniques#Skeleton King|the Skeleton King]] and provides life stealing from the hat slot, something virtually no other non-weapons in the game offer. (The Skeleton King drops a random magical item in multiplayer.)
* The Undead Crown
* (Crown)
* 5% Life Stealing
* Armor Class: 8
* Requirements: None
* Durability: 60
* Qlvl: N/A
* Availability: Quest item. Single Player only.

===Royal Circlet===
[[Image:D1-u-royal-circlet.gif|frame]]
Probably the most popular unique in Diablo, this one was worn happily by Sorcerers, Rogues, and Warriors, who all enjoyed its big bonuses to mana, attributes, and the high AC.
* Royal Circlet
* (Crown)
* Armor Class: 40
* +10 to all Attributes
* +40 Mana
* +10% Light Radius
* Requirements: None
* Durability: 40
* Qlvl: 27
* Availability: SP and MP.

===Lightforge===
[[Image:D1-u-lightforge.gif|frame]]
This is a hacked item, and will never appear in Diablo or Hellfire. The graphic is on the CD, but it's unused, and the stats are partially from a weapon and partially invented. It's not an deactivated item, or a secret item; it's not in the game at all, other than as a hacked item players created and duped widely.

There's no telling how this one got started, but it became quite common in the hacks and cheats-infested Diablo 1 battle.net, and many players with these would swear they were legit, and that Diablo (or whoever) dropped it. Not the case.
* Lightforge
* (Great Helm)
* Armor Class: 15
* +150% Damage
* +25% Chance to hit
* +40% Light radius
* 10-20 Fire hit damage
* +8 to all Attributes
* Requirements: None
* Durability: Indestructible.
* Qlvl: N/A
* Availability: Not available. Hacked item.

===Veil of Steel===
[[Image:D1-u-gotterdamerung.gif|frame]]
This quest item is a reward from [[Lachdanan]], and can not be obtained in multiplayer Diablo. It's a very useful item for a character who can afford the mana penalty, and even if you're not going to wear it, it sells for a fortune.
* Veil of Steel
* (Great Helm)
* Armor Class: 18
* +50% Resist All
* -20% Light Radius
* +60% Armor
* -30 Mana
* +15 Strength
* +15 Vitality
* Requirements: None
* Durability: 60
* Qlvl: N/A
* Availability: Quest Item. Single Player only.

===Gotterdammerung===
[[Image:D1-u-gotterdamerung.gif|frame]]
A popular item with some builds, and exceptionally useful for melee fighters on levels without witches or mages. Often used unidentified, since the 60 AC is by far the highest on any helm. Reduces resistances to 0% regardless of what other items are equipped; even counteracts the [[D1 Unique Jewelry#Constricting Ring|Constricting Ring]].

The name is German, and means "Twilight of the Gods." One of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotterdammerung Wagner's best known operas] used this title, which is a translation of "Ragnarok," the Norse religious version of Armageddon.

The helm is often referred to by Diablo players as "Goddamnitsdark," in humorous reference to the extreme light reduction it mandates.
* Gotterdammerung
* (Great Helm)
* +20 all Attributes
* Armor Class: 60
* -4 Damage from Enemies
* -40% Light Radius
* All resistance equals 0
* Requirements: 50 Strength
* Durability: 70
* Qlvl: 21
* Availability: SP and MP.

==Hellfire Unique Helms==

No unique helms were added in Hellfire, and the Diablo helms were unchanged.
