I just purchased this helmet yesterday and can confirm that it still has no graphic. The helmet has no wisdom, but a wisdom aug solved that problem. I also have the bp (which I also added a wisdom aug to) and plan on sticking a FT2 aug on it from EF for 510 points, but probably not until I get the matching sleeves = )
I plan to buy this helm soon. As aug upgrade I plan to take the 40hp from Tak (type2) and the 40hp from Ruj (type1, lore) and see invisible.For a total of 155hp on helm. I hesitate with an atk upgrade such as vengeance3 but I heard limit in ATK bonus from item is 150...
What I like most about the Adventure armor is that it does not have everything you need on it. The Helm has no WIS which would normally make a Cleric shy away from it. A Paladin or SK might take the helm due to the melee stats and AC on it. But by adding Augments, you remove all of the problems. Additional WIS, INT or even resists. There is an FT II augment for the type three slot. PCs can get a total nice piece of armor and then customize it to their needs. As a Cleric, I plan to get this helm first since my helm needs replacing. I can alway go back and get an Augment later to add WIS because I am going for that FT II augment next. A lot of adventuring will be required to get this and the Augment, but well worth the effort. This stuff is better than Ornate Armor from PoP.
My advise is to choose an armor piece you want to replace and them map out what augments you want to place in it. Then, get the adventure points to make it happen.
i would go for the BP instead, there is a cheaper FT 2 aug, around 500 points, that is CHEST only, the other FT 2 aug is more slots but costs around 1100
Actually I have a level 60 cleric who is looking to get this helm for the AC and STA. He already has 255 WIS and his previous helm, Dwarven Plate, has no WIS on it.
Good advice. This is exactly what I did as well. Find which armor pieces would be the biggest upgrades for you and map out augments etc. Realize that points come slowly even getting 51 per adventure so it's probably not a good idea to plan on upgrading a full set as such. For instance, I mapped out the breastplate, 40 hp augment, and aura of battle augment for my first LDoN upgrade. That is 1492 + 1150 + 1150 points just for one slot and I will need to pick another augment for it as well. So far I have about 1600 AP so I started saving plat for ornate arms. Even though LDoN arms are better it's going to take me weeks just to finish out my BP, but it's going to be a hell of a lot more of an upgrade than arms would be. Can always come back and do arms later =)
Hehe, until Verant switches slot types and you don't realize it until after you spend 1150. (Amulet of Forgotten Magic + Gravestone Fragment of Flailing Dead= slot3 is now a slot2). So just double check evertime you have this planned BEFORE you spend your AA.
This is a very nice helm and i will be saving for this right away. Stats are awesome and can be augmented 3 times. 1500 points isnt that bad i have 200 in one day...
