A '''Great Helm''' is piece of [[Armor]] for the [[Cryoknight]] faction, worn in the head slot. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Great Helms, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.

Players who have chosen the Cryoknight faction are able to receive Great Helms in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Guardian]] factions will receive Great Helms much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity armor for their own faction.

Great Helms are also able to be crafted by the [[Armorer]] profession, at an item level up to the Armorer level of the crafter.

==Variants==

The visual appearance of a Great Helm is dependent only on its level. Great Helms crafted by the Armorer profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Great Helm.

==Combat Stats==

As a piece of Armor, Great Helms have resistance stats for all 6 damage types. The total resistance of a Great Helm obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = 6\times L + 90\times R + 10 </math>

Where

*<math>L</math> is the Item Level

*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

This total resistance is divided up between the 6 damage types with some variation for each individual value. Since the armor is for the Cryoknight faction, the [[File:Tempestae damage icon.png|18px]] Tempestae resistance will be on average 20 points lower than that of the other damage types. See [[Armor]] for a more detailed explanation of how resistances are calculated.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Great Helm is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Great Helm at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have exactly the same total resistance of '''370'''.
