Ancient Helm
Armor · ArmorHead4★Ancient Helm is the strongest head piece in the game by defense, at 650.
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.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 15 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 1,874,040 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.
Schematics That Unlock Ancient Helm
Ancient Helm 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.
