Ancient Helm
Armor · ArmorHead0★A Soralite Ingot helm carrying wisdom handed down across the ages, guarding its wearer with unwavering strength. It outclasses anything modern gear can offer defensively.
Ancient Helm is 5th of 202 head pieces by defense, at 500 against the 650 of Ancient Helm.
Wearing it also carries the effects Neutral Damage Reduction Lv. 1, Dragon 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.
Details
At 15 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 779,860 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Ancient Helm
Ancient Helm is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Ancient Helm
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 500 to 650, a 1.3x 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.
