Where to Find Refined Metal Helm
Refined Metal Helm is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Refined Metal Helm
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 100 to 160, 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.
| Rarity | Item | Defense | HP | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Refined Metal Helm (this one) | 100 | 250 | 1500 |
| 1★ | Refined Metal Helm | 130 | 325 | 3900 |
| 2★ | Refined Metal Helm | 140 | 350 | 4500 |
| 3★ | Refined Metal Helm | 150 | 375 | 5100 |
| 4★ | Refined Metal Helm | 160 | 400 | 6000 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Tricorne matches it exactly at 100 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 Monarch's Crown at 120; below it is Golden Crown at 90.
