It might not be the best helmet in the game, but it’s a damn good helmet that all but the richest or most specialized of builds would benefit from wearing. With +2 to All Skills, +1.5 Life and Mana per character level (this will easily hit +100 to both by the time you’re Lv70+), 10% Damage Reduction and +50% Magic Find, it gives you pretty much everything you could want… except for Resistances. The +2 All Attributes isn’t really all that useful, either. But don’t let a few omissions deter you - it’s one of the first high-tier items in the game you’ll probably find, and one the last you’ll stop using, if you ever do.

You likely won’t see this until you start Hell difficulty - Hell Andariel and Mephisto can both drop it.
