Silver 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.

'''Silver Helmet''' is a high-tier armor piece that protects your head and adds to your shield pool. It is the first piece in the Silver armor set and requires [[Combat]] 25 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
| 24
|-
| [[Combat]] to wear

|-
| Ingredients
| 4 [[Silver Ingot]] + 22 [[Molten Rock]] + 4 [[Brute Horn]]
|-
| Crafting time
| ~30 seconds (roughly 60-second cooldown between smiths)
|-
| Durability
| 1,000 uses
|}

== Stats ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Stat
! Value
|-
| Shield bonus
| +10
|-
| Durability per hit
| 1 point per hit taken
|-
| Repair cost
| ~60% of forge ingot cost, scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 ingot)
|}

== Shield System ==
Silver Helmet adds +10 to your shield pool. Shield is now a points pool (not discrete charges):

* **Base shield:** 100 points (with no armor)
* **Full Silver set:** 140 points (+40 from 4 pieces)
* **Full Iron set:** 120 points (+20 from 4 pieces — comparison)

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

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

{| class="wikitable"
! Piece
! Smithing req
! Shield bonus
! Cost
|-
| '''Silver Helmet'''
| '''24'''
| '''+10'''
| '''4 silver ingot + 22 molten rock + 4 brute horn'''
|-
| [[Silver Body Armor]]
| 28
| +10
| 6 silver ingot + 26 molten rock + 4 brute horn
|-
| [[Silver Legguards]]
| 26
| +10
| 5 silver ingot + 24 molten rock + 4 brute horn
|-
| [[Silver Boots]]
| 24
| +10
| 3 silver ingot + 20 molten rock + 4 brute horn
|}

Wearing multiple pieces adds their shield bonuses. A full Silver set (all 4 pieces) gives +40 shield total — double the protection of a full Iron set.

== Durability & Repair ==
Silver Helmet has 1,000 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. A full Silver 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 ~2 silver ingots

== Trading & Marketplace ==
Silver Helmet can only be sold or traded when **undamaged** (100% durability):

* Damaged pieces cannot be listed on the marketplace
* Damaged pieces cannot be player-traded
* Repair first at any blacksmith (Grimjaw or Harun), then it lists as new
* Undamaged pieces are valuable and fully tradeable

== Armor Tiers ==
Silver is the highest armor tier. Comparison to Iron:

{| 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 per piece but requires significantly higher progression — Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore, and Smithing 24–28 to craft.

== Crafting Materials ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Material
! Amount
! Source
|-
| [[Silver Ingot]]
| 4
| Smelt 60 [[Silver Ore]] + 60 [[Coal]] at any furnace (requires Mining 20)
|-
| [[Molten Rock]]
| 22
| Fish at [[Emberstone]] lava pits (common drop)
|-
| [[Brute Horn]]
| 4
| Kill [[Magma Brute]] at [[Emberstone]] (1 in 5 drop rate)
|}

Silver Helmet requires substantial farming — the most ingots of any Silver piece, making it a serious end-game investment.

== Progression Gate ==
To craft Silver Helmet, you must reach [[Mining]] 20 to gather Silver Ore:

{| class="wikitable"
! Milestone
! Details
|-
| Mining 5
| Unlock [[Iron Ore]] gathering
|-
| Mining 20
| Unlock [[Silver Ore]] gathering (Frostmere and Dunes West)
|-
| Smithing 24
| Craft Silver Helmet (first Silver armor piece most players complete)
|}

Silver armor represents true end-game progression — a serious multi-hour farming commitment.
