Where to Find Plasteel Helmet
Plasteel Helmet is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Plasteel Helmet
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 260 to 390, a 1.5x 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.
