Monks have some pretty nice items to obtain and give up, I have mostly played casters, but for most quests its useless stuff... this is pretty nice. I would have to argue a low lvl shaman would get the most use from this, they tank the most of all these classes, at low levels anyways. I have one of these on my duid and it makes my hels go a bit further. I dont really like twinks but was thinking of making a monk, and was researching all the stuff, and maybe thought about getting him the items for the quests. its amazing how much of this stuff is NOT 'no drop'. maybe because its older I guess..... and i was looking at the pitfighters hand wraps too... :P and a few other items I have.
I really lucked out, finding this on an armory merchant in Felwithe. Funny thing is, "she" wanted to charge my druid 131P for it, so my Paladin bought it for me for 98P. My druid was fighting a willowisp (cons dark blue) and it was getting more hits on me than usual (I also forgot to check my mana before engaging - half gone, oops!); I was down to 2 bubbles of health and all of a sudden I had 3!
The helmet is overall silver with some light green accents and dark red edging. It looks like real armor, instead of a skin cap.
This is why I frequent all merchants on a regular basis; if you can't kill the creatures that drop these things yet, you can always hope a high level gets tired of the item so you can buy it!

Ok as near as I can tell It enhances the amount the healing spell does ie platinum armbands on a lvl 22 druid enhanced heal spell from 81 to 99. Also enhances bard heal song lvl 26 with coronet had heal go from 14 to 17. Hope this helps.
I got this last night after 3 hours of camping it. 1.The respawn time is approx 23 min. (it was just a hare over 23 min.) 2.The patriarch is the PH. 3.At 45 I was able to hold this camp very easily. 4.If possible try to bring a stunner. Half the mobs that spawn in the King Room either heal like mad or nuke like mad. Being a monk I fought with High Priest Zaharn until he was out of mana (he kept healing himself) 5. Make sure that on the upper level there are no priests because they will heal them as well, and it will just make you angry. I would just kill all the priests until regular ice goblins would spawn then leave them there. 6. Only 3 Mob Spawns Near the Rock. (facing the exit) Sage which is on the left side, Partiarch/Zaharn on the right side, and King Thex'Ka IV/Elite Guard on the front of the rock the rest of the spawns are on lower level but a little bit away from rock (but still within agro range) 7. Sage only nukes, he doesn't heal. Patriarch heals and nukes, King Thex heals and nukes, Zaharn Heals and nukes as well. The elite's donot heal nor nuke. Hope this helps.
Got lucky with the coronet and Zaharn dropped it after I killed it just once. One advice, if you are able to kill the elite guards, please do so before killing either Patriarch or Zaharn. It's a pain when you have a few guards on when when either of them flee.
1). PlaceHolders are Goblin Patriarch and High Priest Zaharn. (Not 100% sure on that, but Zaharn wasn't around when Patriarch was.) 2). Location +700/-300 or #3 on PermaFrost Keep map on EQ Atlas.
Bah. any item (quest) = more cash.. Loser squatters try to cash in on stuff like that.. heh I had a guy tell me he would sell me one of the heads that drop in the Karanas for 1k ... Punks... Heh oh well... Made me earn my stuff..and hopefully keeps the squatters poor . :)
Since I have yet to load SoL (tax refund will help upgrade computer...woo hoo)..
I just got this for my 13th level halfling druid. Paid 22pp...and after I read what this goes for, seems like I got a great deal. Anyways, this shows up as a chain coif on my druid. /em boggle. It's a crown...I wish it looked a little better than that. Oh well...guess I cannot complain too much for the price I paid.
The Reason it goes for so much, is because it's a quest item for the Monk Purple headband quest, which in turn is required for the Robe of the Lost Circle, The Robe of the Whistling Fists, and the Monk Epic eventually. You got a helmet there that any monk would kill for.
I really do like this. Looks kind of odd though... Anyways, my 46th monk friend, was in Perma and he wanted some company. So I went in (deathwish in process) and kinda sat there trying not to get my butt whooped, when he came up and gave the Coronet to me. Thanks, Kinj.
For the money this item cant be beat. Better for priests than a runed circlet till level 30 or so (at level 30 runed circlet gives you 24 mana) and even then the coronet is better cause of the 5 str and one more ac (what is int to a shaman?)
