Iron alone will not get you a Padded Helmet: the linen has to be spun from Plains flax first, which is why this is the helm you wear all the way through the Mistlands. It has 26 armour, or 32 fully upgraded, and ranks 4th among helmets. Worn with the rest of the Padded Armor set, it is part of a 79 armour rating, which turns a 100-damage hit into 32.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 1 Forge from:
- 10x Iron: smelted from Scrap Iron in a Smelter.
- 15x Linen Thread: spun from Flax at a Spinning Wheel.

When to Use It
This is mid-game gear from the Plains tier, the biome after Moder. Its Linen Thread is spun from Plains Flax, and its Iron comes from the Swamp.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station one step higher than the last. The stats elsewhere on this page are for quality 1, so this table shows where your own copy sits on the ladder:
| Quality | Crafting Station | Armor | Durability | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forge (Level 1) | 26 | 1000 |
|
| 2 | Forge (Level 2) | 28 | 1200 |
|
| 3 | Forge (Level 3) | 30 | 1400 |
|
| 4 | Forge (Level 4) | 32 | 1600 |

Notes
- Armor reduces physical, fire, frost and lightning damage, but it does nothing against poison or spirit damage.
- Against a hit more than twice the armor value, armor simply takes its own value off the damage. Against weaker hits it blocks a growing share of the damage instead, and every extra point of armor adds as many survivable hits as the one before, so stacking armor never stops paying off.
- The armor rating is the total of the helmet, chest, leg and cape armor worn, so going without a helmet throws away a large part of it.
