Elder Bark Helm

A helm grown from old bark, hard as seasoned oak, and it smells like the forest floor after rain. Elder Bark Helm is the vitality helmet of the forest tier, requiring VIT 32. DEF +28 is the highest head defence in the game, ahead of Thornguard Hood at +20 and Soupbucket at +20 from the junk tier. Max HP +130, MDEF +8, Max MP +15, HP regeneration at +2.0 per second and MP regeneration at +1.0. Move Speed -1.0, unchanged from every heavy piece before it. VIT 32 is worth noting because it undercuts the rest of the vitality line. Petrified Greaves and Stonebark Greaves both need VIT 35 and Amber Carapace VIT 37, so the helmet is what a Defender can wear first and the natural entry into forest armour. Vendors buy it at 156 Tria. Recipe: 24 Stone, 6 Memory Sap, 6 Mystic Essence, 6 Ancient Heartwood and 1 Fossilized Amber. Elder Bark Helm needs nothing unlocked beyond VIT 32. One hundred and thirty health on a helmet is unusual. Most head armour contributes defence and little else, and this carries more health than several chest pieces from earlier tiers. Combined with HP regeneration at +2.0, the piece does real work in long fights rather than just padding a stat sheet. MDEF +8 keeps the heavy-line weakness intact. Twenty-eight physical defence and eight magic defence means a caster enemy goes through this as easily as it went through Kettle Crown, and no amount of tier progression has fixed that for the vitality line. Build it first among the vitality pieces. Five levels earlier than the greaves and the same one Fossilized Amber.
