Helmets:

From level 99 there will be new items implemented - the helmets. This means that you will be able to buy them with a decent trade skill from level 80. Helmets will mainly give defense but there will be other additional abilities.

From level 99 - there will be 2-2 helmets for every 5 levels.

Helmets will cost you Soul Energy, Soul Diamond, Ancient stone and Helmet fragment.

To be able to gather Helmet fragments, there will be a new AA ability that you must have. You can find fragments at your first (daily): hunt, duel, challenge, pet trapping, adventure. Only succesful ones count. If you succeed, there will be no random, you will get a fragment.

There will be focus crystals that can be placed into Helmets.

There will also be a new AA skill that reises the amount of fragment you can get a day. (Increase: 21 (base) → 31 (AA boost)

Fragments:

1st action = 1 fragment
2nd action = 2 fragments
3rd action = 4 fragments
4th action = 6 fragments
5th action = 8 fragments

sum: 21/day

Helmets will cost user_level*3 Helmet fragments and the additional focus crystal will cost user_level*1 HF

You can start gathering HF from lvl 80.

Any ETA on this?

The reason I am asking is that the Castle/Clan quests was advertised here months before it actually became available in the game.

I don't know. Maybe in 2-3 weeks time. I think it is already in on the hun servers.

We hope it will be in the game by next week.

Good!

When will the helmets be implemented? The Wheel of fortune already rewards helmet fragments, but they don´t show up for anyone, presumably since this feature is not implemented.

You'll be informed if the Helmets arrive.

thanks kethios for the valuable information. we thought you wouldnt inform us when they came.

kethios my dear admin what sbart was asking, i think, was for a little bit more specific information.
my best regards.
hunchback, w2

not: sorry for the sarcasm but couldnt help myself, what kind of answer was that..?

Yes, now I can sleep at night, knowing that we will be informed and that the Helmets will not be added to the game by programming ninjas.

programing ninjas ha, that is a good one.

We have ninja'd the helms into the game today, enjoy!

Damn ninjas!

...and there is something fishy going on with the Helm shards. Bought the AA ability and it says:
"From now, you can collect helm shards. You can use them the purchase helms at the soul-huckster. You get helm shards every day for the first hunt, the first capture, the first duel, the first challenge, and the first completed adventure. You get 1 for the first such action, 2 for the next, 4, 6, 8 for the following ones. If you did all 5 actions the same day you can get 21 shards."

As I understand this I should get 1 HS when I do my first action, 2 when I do my second, then 4 for the third, 6 for the forth, and finally 8 for the fifth.
Before I start I have 6 HS (from the Wheel of Fortune).
I do one Duel, it says I get 1 HS.
I do a Challenge (and win). And it says I get 1 HS.
So I do another Duel (and win). And it says I find 2 HS.
So i do one more duel, and find another 2 HS.
So I do a Challenge, and find no HS.
And another duel, and once again 2 HS.

And then I check with the soul-huckster, and it says I have 7 Helmet shards.
I think that I should have had 9 HS (6+1+2), even though the game tells me that I should have 14.


Somehow i wish it actually was ninjas that implemented this, because maybe then the errors would be so hidden that I couldn´t find them. Seriously, if you need a tester I am more than willing to help you guys out.


Please fix this.

EDIT
Did 5 more duels, they all said I found 2 HS, but the soul-Huckster does not register them.
Did a hunt, said that I found 2 HS.
Captured an animal, said I got 4 HS.
In total I had after this 13 HS. Should have been 6+1 (duel)+2 (Challenge)+4 (hunt)+6 (Capture)=19
and finally did one Adventure, and got 0 HS.

In total I did all 5 actions and got 7 HS, not 21.

So what does the AA ablility "Experience" have to do with helmet shards? besides having to waste 4 points on it so you can get the Shards ability. Seems pretty lame to me and I will be 4 AA points short now.

You get HS only for the first action of a type. So you get HS for the first duel on a given day, but not for the second. If the text said otherwise, it is a text display bug indeed Baraty will correct this by tomorrow.

Experience: You need to be experienced to be able to collect shards...

Well, I did the 5 different types of actions and only got 7 HS, not 21. Will this be fixed?

will there be helmets that you could buy without ancient stones. There is lots of players that stop playing when they see that you can get focus crystals and pet equipment only with ancient stones. If helmets will be like that i fear that more people will just stop playing.

you can see this if you just look at the map event, on front page it is written that world 2 has 16411 players, but only 116 is registered for event.

this is great game, but you are loseing playres.

btw. i know that questions are here to make it more interesting, but i just dont get it. I go hunting and for example nedd to answer question who was President of some country. Wrong answer now monster gives you lees SE What did that monster have to do with Bush or Obama?

I can confirm that adventures and duels don't give any helm shards. Please fix this.

Duels still bugged for HS. Did 5 duels, and all says that I found 1 HS. But no HS are added to my total on the soul-huckster page.
Then did one Challenge (and won) and found 1 HS, not 2. This is very bad, since the amount of HS that you can get per day is limited, and very much dependent on you actually doing as many actions as possible. If two of the actions are broken, people will spend resources doing those actions but not getting what the game says we should get from them.

I hope that all HS that I would have collected will eventually be added to my total.

I have lvl 4 Experience AA and am lvl 87. I see collect shards AA, but it is on 0 and I don't see how much it costs to increase it to one, nor I can do it (I have 1 AA left)

Did you buy the "Collect helm shards" AA ability? It costs 10 AA points, and require Experience 4, and level 80.
