Ahzidal's Helm of Vision
Ahzidal's Helm of Vision is a unique heavy armor helmet from Dragonborn and one of the relics of Ahzidal. It looks like an Ancient Nord Helmet but has a base armor rating of 19 and weighs 6. It lies behind a puzzle gate in Kolbjorn Barrow after the fourth stage of the dig in the quest Unearthed.

Gameplay Tips
- Temper it at a workbench with one Steel Ingot. The Advanced Armors perk doubles the improvement, and the Arcane Blacksmith perk is needed because it is enchanted.
- Wearing exactly four relics of Ahzidal grants Ahzidal's Genius, which raises Enchanting by 10 points. A fifth relic cancels the bonus.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
Ahzidal's Helm of Vision is improved at a workbench with one Steel Ingot per improvement. The Advanced Armors perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
