Manor-Lords:Helmets
Helmets are a Military Resource in Manor Lords made from Iron Slabs, that can increase the Defense Stat of your Militia and be exported as a Commodity.
Helmet production
Getting Helmets is a lot easier than getting more advanced Armor, such as Plate Armor, but it still requires a mix of mining, upgrading Burgage plots, and some Development Skill progression.
Here are the basic steps to Helmet production:
- Build a Mining Pit
- Build a Bloomery
- Acquire Basic Armormaking
- Build a Level 2 Burgage Plot
- Build an Armorer's Workshop
Build a Mining Pit
You need Iron Slabs for Helmets, so find a Rich Iron Deposits, spend x1 Timber to create a Mining Pit, and start mining some Iron Ore.
Build a Bloomery
Construct a Bloomery for x2 Timber, which will then allow you to convert your Iron Ore into Iron Slabs.
Aquire Basic Armormaking
In the Industry Development Skill Tree, you will find Basic Armormaking. Use your Development Points towards this, so you can unlock the ability to create Helmets.
Build a Level 2 Burgage Plot
The Armor's Workshop backyard extension needs a Level 2 Burgage Plot, so spend x4 Timber to do so once you have met the material and settlement requirements.
Purchase the Armorer's Workshop
Buy an Armorer's Workshop for x4 Planks and x10 Regional Wealth, and you will now be able to produce helmets from Iron Slabs.
Use them to increase your Defensive Stats or sell for Regional Wealth via your Trading Post.
