Patroclus's Helm

Patroclus was a friend of Achilles who fought in the Trojan War. Patroclus died after Achilles reluctantly sent him to scare the Trojans off and buy some time for the Greeks.
Patroclus borrowed Achilles' armor so that he would look like Achilles and scare the Trojans a bit more, and this worked. However, Patroclus made the mistake of pursuing the Trojans instead of returning after scaring them off, and Apollo struck his helmet off in battle, revealing who he really was.
Patroclus was killed in this fight, which sent Achilles into a rage, and he killed Hector (the guy who killed Patroclus) and drug his body around Troy.

Actually your interpertation of the Achilles Myth is somewhat askewed. Akilleus in the actual Greek translation in the Iliad had a cousin Patroklus who went to Troy with him for the war. They are cousins by blood on Achilles mother's side and he had vowed to always watch over his cousin. Now whether or not they were gay is open to interpertation of the text, for there are indeed some lines that would elude to a far more sexual relationship. Be that as it may they would not have changed it in the movie Troy but there is no basis of fact as to whether or not they were lovers, take the movie Alexander for example which portrays Alexander as a bi-sexual which in fact he was. Moving on, in Achille's hedonism and refusal to fight the Trojans because of his disdain for Agamemnon Patroklus pleads with Achilles to go out and fight and when he does not Patroklus asks for the armour of Achilles to rally the troops. Hektor, mistook Patroklus for Achilles and kills him in his stead, a curse set upon the young man for his vanity mocking the Sun god Apollo whom Achilles was already in trouble with. Achilles berieved with grief over Patroklus will not leave the body's side and his mother beseech's the will of the god of the forge to create a set of armour for Achilles in order to get him to fight again.
Interesting fact about that whole story. He was Achilles's gay lover. In the recent movie they changed the role to his cousin as to not offend the ******** of the nation.
No longer relevant because of a change in the post I was replying to.

First of all, and I hate to break it to you, but the Trojan War was a myth, and I also hate to break it to everyone but there was absolutely no such thing as 'gay' and 'straight' in Ancient Greece. The very concept of ****- and heterosexuality is an extraordinarily 'new' concept (in comparison to how long these concepts have existed when compared to how long people have been around), so you could not actually be 'gay' in Ancient Greece because 'gay' didn't exist.

Drops from a lotto NM of the shadow dragon named Biast.
Group of 4 70's can kill him. Helm is a garaunteed drop.
Biast intimidates everyone regardless of job or equipment. Alot! i mean set your filters or theres alot of spam. Other than that just typical dragon stuff aoe, etc.

Its not 100% drop and it also has additional effect:terrorize....yeah I fought it and got no drop
Terrorize? Whatchu talkin bout Willis?
Do you mean this helm grants you killer effects? Would make sense given all the intimidation the NM does. Gration the NM that drops the Tatami Shield (which Enhances Killer Effects) also is quite the intimidator.

No, what he means is the dragon's attacks have Add Effect: Terror on them. Same as Fafnir/Nidhogg's special move with that effect, Terror is a VERY long Stun effect that can't be Erased.
Mmm sounds sweet.

Meh, its a good helm, but trade in that +2% haste, that -enmity and evasion and that 21 def for +1 STR and +4 DEX and you have yourself a Voyager Sallet.
"Trade in" -5 Enmity? In my opinion, that's the best part about this helm. I want this badly for when my BST gets that high, and I might even wear it as BRD in some circumstances.
who would get off there lazy butt to get the VS :P no one wants to camp these things their selfives, so thy just buy it from the ah if they can. just like hte bounding boots or peacock charm, no one bothers to get the fakes, they just want the bling bling in the deal... hence why like anyone would goe for this hat even though it is pretty kool, yea not alot of Str (drk helm has more) and the haste is decent for drks to attack quicker but eh thats up to you
#REDACTED,
Posted: Nov 15 2005 at 4:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It may not be very useful for DRKs but this helm is friggin awesome for a WAR/NIN. Haste +2%, STR +2, and Enmity -5 are perfect for that job combo.
As a THF i cant wait to get this, Enmity - Haste+... wow.. simply wow, but Evai-... might switch out >_>.. STR good too...

Ehhhh? I wouldn't want to use this. Especially not for SATA. I'd have my O.hat for TP build and my Emp. pin for SATA and WSs. Haste of 2% is only really noticable during spell casting, hardly noticed at all during combat. Trust me, I know. I have a Panther Mask, Dusk Gloves and if anyone puts them on the AH I'll have Dusk Ledlessens. So unless you really stack your haste, you aren't going to notice it much unless you're a slow swinger like DRK. Just my thoughts ^^
This would be a nice helm for a THF, but you'd probably want to switch this out for SATA because if enmity+ generates more hate transfer on SATA, then enmity- would too, I'm sure.
You're 100% right about the enmity/hate transfer issue. You want MORE Enmity+ for SATA.
Still, the Haste could be nice for TP on a SpeedThief build.

Before the Optical Hat, there really is nothing good for THF head slot for TP gain. Technically you could throw on a Tiger Helm or Walkurie Mask for an ATT bonus, or a Green Beret for 1ACC, but that's about it. This item is great just for the fact that it will finally give THF something to switch that Emp Pin out for while building TP.
I want one.
