At 10 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby.

Paldium Fragment
Ore×40Crafting it takes 30 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 20× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Metal Helm
Metal Helm is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Metal Helm
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 50 to 80, a 1.6x 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.
