== Shield System ==
== Damage Reduction ==
Iron Helmet adds +5 to your shield pool. Shield is now a points pool (not discrete charges):
Iron Helmet reduces the damage you take from mobs by 2%. Armor no longer widens the shield pool; it reduces damage instead:


* **Base shield:** 100 points (with no armor)
* **Shield pool:** fixed at 100 points regardless of armor; restore it with [[Shield Potion|Shield Potions]]
* **Full iron set:** 120 points (+20 from 4 pieces)
* **Full iron set:** 10% damage reduction (4 pieces)
* **Full silver set:** 140 points (+40 from 4 pieces)
* **Full silver set:** 15% damage reduction (4 pieces)


Shield absorbs damage before your HP is touched and does not regenerate on its own. Restore it with [[Shield Potion|Shield Potions]].
Wearing no armor at all is risky: [[King Scorpia]], the [[Venomweaver]] cave hazards, [[Giant Scorpion]]s and [[Magma Brute]]s all deal 1.5× damage to unarmored players. Wearing any armor piece removes that penalty and applies your damage reduction instead.

How to get Crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes

Iron Helmet is a mid-tier armor piece that protects your head and reduces the damage you take. It is the first armor tier available and requires Combat 15 to equip.

All armor is crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes through Smithing and uses ingots plus desert materials from Emberstone.

How to get

Craft at Kaziir the Armoursmith's house in The Dunes. Grimjaw's anvil in Frostmere and Harun the Forgewright's forge in Dunes West handle repairs only — Kaziir sells plate, he does not take it back.

Requirement Details
Smithing level 14
Combat to wear 15
Ingredients 40 Iron Ingot + 40 Molten Rock + 5 Brute Horn
Crafting time ~30 seconds (25-second cooldown between crafts)
Durability 2,500 uses

Stats

Stat Value
Damage reduction 2%
Durability per hit 1 point per hit taken
Repair cost 60% of the full forging cost (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 of each material)

Damage Reduction

Iron Helmet reduces the damage you take from mobs by 2%. Armor no longer widens the shield pool; it reduces damage instead:

  • **Shield pool:** fixed at 100 points regardless of armor; restore it with Shield Potions
  • **Full iron set:** 10% damage reduction (4 pieces)
  • **Full silver set:** 15% damage reduction (4 pieces)

Wearing no armor at all is risky: King Scorpia, the Venomweaver cave hazards, Giant Scorpions and Magma Brutes all deal 1.5× damage to unarmored players. Wearing any armor piece removes that penalty and applies your damage reduction instead.

Armor Set

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

Piece Smithing req Damage reduction Cost
Iron Helmet 14 2% 40 iron ingot + 40 molten rock + 5 brute horn
Iron Body Armor 20 4% 50 iron ingot + 50 molten rock + 10 brute horn
Iron Legguards 18 3% 50 iron ingot + 50 molten rock + 10 brute horn
Iron Boots 16 1% 25 iron ingot + 25 molten rock + 2 brute horn

Wearing multiple pieces adds their reductions. A full iron set (all 4 pieces) gives 10% damage reduction total.

Durability & Repair

Iron Helmet has 2,500 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 Grimjaw in Frostmere or Harun the Forgewright in Dunes West:

  • **Repair cost:** 60% of the full forging bill (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled to durability lost, each material rounded up (minimum 1 per repair)
  • **Example:** At 50% durability loss, repair costs about 12 iron ingots + 12 Molten Rock + 2 Brute Horns

Armor Tiers

Iron is the first armor tier. Silver is higher:

Tier Pieces Damage reduction (full set) Combat req Smithing req (helmet)
Iron Head, body, legs, feet 10% 15 14
Silver Head, body, legs, feet 15% 25 24

Silver armor gives 1.5× the damage reduction but requires higher progression.

Crafting Materials

Material Amount Source
Iron Ingot 40 Smelt 6 Iron Ore + 6 Coal per ingot at any furnace
Molten Rock 40 Fish at Emberstone lava pits (common drop)
Brute Horn 5 Kill Magma Brute at Emberstone (1 in 5 drop rate)
