got this helm today as a lvl 67 pld lol 3 more lvls to go to use it. my ls killed fafnir at least 35 times and this drops like crack with a thf's knife. this helm drops so often our drks in ls all have it if u are lvl 70 pld go to dragons avery say to the people killin fafnir ill cure ur nontanks if i can lot helm or say ull pay them 100k or sumthing and im sure ull be able to get this it is very common drop looks like adman helm as well someone wanted to know why a drg , drk, or sam would wear this 2 reasons 1 they subbed thf and are using sata on pld 2 the have ninja sub and are tankin an nm like aquarius and need the hate so they can get cured without whm dieing
Is there anyone who's fought Fafnir enough to know the drop rate on this helmet? This is the best helment ever for a paladin. +7 enm for one item, particularly a helmet is just plain sick. I'll take -7 mnd and chr just to wear this without thinking twice.
-7MND wouldn't be that much to a level 75PLD im going to assume, as a 57RDM, my Cure IV caps, so im assuming at level 70 even for a PLD that his cure IV would cap, or come very close to it. The hate gathered for a Cure with +7 Enmity even with the lower mind would be much more the that without the helmet.
You misunderstand how MND works. Yes, your Cure IV is capped because your healing magic skill is high. MND actually increases that cap. Thats why WHM in the 50s start doing more than 30 with cure. MND is an overrated stat for PLD, and -7 MND isn't too big a turnoff. This thing is uber.
WHM in their 50s do more than 30 with Cure? My whm is 34 and I barely break 30(was doing 31 last night), so I'd hope a whm in the 50s would do quite a bit more...
Um, too bad that with the Adaman Armor, but subbing in this Helm, the Enmity stack would make it so that you could not loose hate at all. Of course with Provoke, still very strong Cures, and Flash you are unstoppable.
Enmity is SO EFFECTIVE...this helmet is any Paladin's Dream...

it probably could cause more hate than benediction, too bad no one could ever stack berserk, souleater, last resort, sneak attack, trick attack, and a weapon skill.....
The Aegishjalmr usually refers to the "helm of awe" worn by Odin, used to enhance his prescence so that he cowed his enemies into defeat before the fight even began. However, the word also applies to the symbol on the brow of Fafnir, who got it as a result of killing his father and made his visage terrible to look on - his prescence inspired such fear that no mortal could stand against him. (aegis means auspice or aura; hjalmr means helm or brow). Since Sigurd was a total idiot - I mean, since Sigurd did not understand the concept of fear, he was immune to Fafnir's Aegishjalmr. Since there was a helm in the Andvari, it seems that the power of Fafnir's aegis transferred to it. When Sigurd wore the helm he took from the Andvari, he was unbeatable in battle and his prescence was enhanced. In game, they seem to have altered it so that your prescence inspires such hatred that all enemies turn to you.
Awessome post. Where did you find that info? Is there any other similer info somewhere? I would def like to read up on things with back stories such as this.
