Wartales Helmets Guide

How do helmets work in Wartales?

If you’re returning to a pre-patch save, you’ll find Apprentice Blacksmith Set - Helmets in the Anvil (Blacksmith) section of your Compendium. You’ll also find a fresh new Helmet slot on each companion’s character sheet as if they were there all along. It’s very slickly done.  You’ll need to learn basic recipes as usual. Once added to your Compendium, go to a Forge, select the Anvil, and scroll to the very bottom of the Armor list to find Light, Medium, and Heavy Helmet recipes. They forge in the same way as other armor, needing four well-timed strikes on the Anvil for the possibility of superior quality items.  Progression through qualities works in the same way as other Armor items, so you need to make items before unlocking the next tier. They only take a single space in your inventory, making them easy to miss once crafted. They do not take armor layers, but you can create Stamps from them (see below) to transfer superior item bonus skills.

What do Helmets do in Wartales?

As with other armor in Wartales, all Helmets add to your Armor stat as well as having other qualities depending on the weight and quality of the item. Here’s what I’ve found so far. Making three-star superior Helmets will also add a small amount of bonus Armour and Guard (on non-light Helmets). A Master Tinker can Dismantle a Helmet that has a Skill and receive a Stamp with it on; this Stamp can then be added to another Helm, giving it that Skill, therefore allowing you to make the ideal Helmet for each companion.
