Iron Helmet has 2,500 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. Every worn piece loses a point on the same hit, so a set wears down together — wearing more pieces never makes any single piece break sooner. A piece that reaches 0 durability breaks and is destroyed, so repair it before then. Worn armor is also lost on death: it drops into your tombstone in the Wilderness, Emberstone or the Dunes, and is destroyed outright in the Glade Cave.

'''Iron Helmet''' is a mid-tier armor piece that protects your head and adds to your shield pool. It is the first armor tier available and requires [[Combat]] 15 to equip.

All armor is crafted at the smithy through [[Smithing]] and uses ingots plus desert materials from [[Emberstone]].

== How to get ==
Forge at [[Grimjaw]]'s anvil in [[Frostmere]] or [[Harun the Forgewright]]'s forge in [[Dunes West]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement
! Details
|-
| [[Smithing]] level
| 14
|-
| [[Combat]] to wear
| 15
|-
| Ingredients
| 2 [[Iron Ingot]] + 12 [[Molten Rock]] + 2 [[Brute Horn]]
|-
| Crafting time
| ~25 seconds (roughly 60-second cooldown between smiths)
|-
| Durability
| 1,000 uses
|}

== Stats ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Stat
! Value
|-
| Shield bonus
| +5
|-
| Durability per hit
| 1 point per hit taken
|-
| Repair cost
| ~60% of forge ingot cost, scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 ingot)
|}

== Shield System ==
Iron Helmet adds +5 to your shield pool. Shield is now a points pool (not discrete charges):

* **Base shield:** 100 points (with no armor)
* **Full iron set:** 120 points (+20 from 4 pieces)
* **Full silver set:** 140 points (+40 from 4 pieces)

Shield absorbs damage before your HP is touched and does not regenerate on its own. Restore it with [[Shield Potion|Shield Potions]].

== Armor Set ==
Iron Helmet is one of four armor slots in the iron tier:

{| class="wikitable"
! Piece
! Smithing req
! Shield bonus
! Cost
|-
| '''Iron Helmet'''
| '''14'''
| '''+5'''
| '''2 iron ingot + 12 molten rock + 2 brute horn'''
|-
| [[Iron Body Armor]]
| 20
| +5
| 4 iron ingot + 16 molten rock + 2 brute horn
|-
| [[Iron Legguards]]
| 18
| +5
| 3 iron ingot + 14 molten rock + 2 brute horn
|-
| [[Iron Boots]]
| 16
| +5
| 1 iron ingot + 10 molten rock + 2 brute horn
|}

Wearing multiple pieces adds their shield bonuses. A full iron set (all 4 pieces) gives +20 shield total.

== Durability & Repair ==
Iron Helmet has 1,000 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. A full iron set (4 pieces) wears 4 times as fast in wall-clock terms since all pieces lose durability simultaneously.

Repair at any smithy:
* **Repair cost:** ~60% of forge ingot cost, scaled to durability lost (minimum 1 ingot per repair)
* **Example:** At 50% durability loss, repair costs ~1 iron ingot

== Armor Tiers ==
Iron is the first armor tier. Silver is higher:

{| class="wikitable"
! Tier
! Pieces
! Shield per piece
! Combat req
! Smithing req (helmet)
|-
| '''Iron'''
| Head, body, legs, feet
| '''+5'''
| '''15'''
| '''14'''
|-
| Silver
| Head, body, legs, feet
| +10
| 25
| 24
|}

Silver armor gives double the shield bonus but requires higher progression.

== Crafting Materials ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Material
! Amount
! Source
|-
| [[Iron Ingot]]
| 2
| Smelt 60 [[Iron Ore]] + 60 [[Coal]] at any furnace
|-
| [[Molten Rock]]
| 12
| Fish at [[Emberstone]] lava pits (common drop)
|-
| [[Brute Horn]]
| 2
| Kill [[Magma Brute]] at [[Emberstone]] (1 in 5 drop rate)
|}
