The Dwarvish Helm is a relic of the dwarves who once lived under the valley, and one of the artifacts that miners find rather than diggers. Ordinary Geodes can hold it, so it often turns up while cracking geodes at the Blacksmith. Tilling soil on the upper floors of The Mines can uncover it as well. Its first copy belongs in the museum. A spare one makes the Wearable Dwarf Helm, a hat for anyone who wants to look the part underground. The Dwarf and Penny like it as a gift.

The in-game description reads: It's one of the helmets commonly worn by dwarves. The thick metal plating protects them from falling debris and stalactites.

Location

Geodes are the main way to find a Dwarvish Helm. A regular Geode has a better chance of holding it than an Omni Geode. Clint at the Blacksmith cracks geodes open for a small fee, so saving plain Geodes for a trip to Clint is a good place to start.

Tilling soil with a Hoe on floors 1 to 39 of The Mines can also turn one up. The chance per tile is small. The same soil can also give Dwarf Scroll I and Dwarf Scroll II, so it is worth tilling each patch passed on the way down.

Artifact Troves include it as well. Five Omni Geodes buy a trove from the Desert Trader in the Calico Desert, and Clint opens those as well.

Museum

Donating the first Dwarvish Helm to Gunther adds it to the artifact collection. Fifteen artifacts earn the Skeleton Statue and twenty earn Rarecrow #7, and the helm counts toward both milestones. The overall donation total, with its seeds, paintings and other prizes, rises as well.

Prices

The Dwarvish Helm sells for a middling price among artifacts. The first copy is worth more in the museum. Spare helms sell for a fair sum, or become a hat at the Sewing Machine. Once the Treasure Appraisal Guide has been read, artifacts like the helm sell for three times as much.

Gifts

The Dwarf and Penny like the Dwarvish Helm. The helm only raises the Dwarf's friendship after the Dwarvish Translation Guide has been earned.

The Dwarvish Helm is a poor gift for the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it as well, as do the marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. Jas, Leo and Vincent share that view, and so do Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard.

Notes

Putting Cloth in the feed and a Dwarvish Helm on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the Wearable Dwarf Helm. The Dwarf Gadget makes the same hat. The hat is a slightly larger copy of the dwarves' helmets, sized for a human head. The Sewing Machine is in Emily's house at 2 Willow Lane.

The dye pots in the same house accept the Dwarvish Helm as an orange dye, as they do the Chewing Stick and the Chipped Amphora.

Once the Dwarf can be understood and likes the farmer well enough, he muses that his people once knew the secrets of advanced technology. He wonders aloud where that knowledge came from and where it all went.
