The sleeper RPG hit Wartales is furthering its word-of-mouth success with its first Community Update. Its content is inspired by player feedback and requests, with arguably the largest change being the addition of helmets. While this certainly wasn’t on my list of must-haves, it did seem an odd omission in a game about medieval warfare. So if you’re confused as to what it will add to the game, read on for our Wartales helmets guide.
How do helmets work in Wartales?
If you’re returning to a pre-patch save, you’ll findApprentice Blacksmith Set - Helmetsin the Anvil (Blacksmith) section of yourCompendium. You’ll also find a fresh new Helmet slot on each companion’s character sheet as if they were there all along. It’s very slickly done.

You’ll need to learn basic recipes as usual. Once added to your Compendium, go to aForge, select theAnvil, and scroll to the verybottom of the Armor listto find Light, Medium, and Heavy Helmet recipes. They forge in the same way as other armor, needing four well-timed strikes on the Anvil for the possibility of superior quality items.
Progression through qualities works in the same way as other Armor items, so you need to make items before unlocking the next tier. They only take asingle space in your inventory, making them easy to miss once crafted. They do not takearmor layers, but you can create Stamps from them (see below) to transfer superior item bonus skills.
What do Helmets do in Wartales?
As with other armor in Wartales, all Helmetsadd to your Armor statas well as having other qualities depending on the weight and quality of the item. Here’s what I’ve found so far.
Makingthree-star superior Helmetswill also add a small amount ofbonus Armour and Guard(on non-light Helmets). A Master Tinker canDismantlea Helmet that has a Skill andreceive a Stampwith it on; thisStamp can then be added to another Helm, giving it that Skill, therefore allowing you to make the ideal Helmet for each companion.
