Notes[]
- The first variant is similar to the Kettle hat decorated, being the "un-decorated" version. The defensive stats are the same, but the Decorated version has higher Charisma, and lower Stealth stats.
- The second version has one of the best protection-to-value ratios for any helmet, open-faced or otherwise. It makes for an excellent general use, economy helmet with good protection and low repair cost.
- The third variant would greatly surpass the second variant in its protection-to-value ratio. It has the highest Impact protection for a helmet in the game, and easily ranks within the top 10 best helmets overall, for protection. It does however posses the worst stealth stats possible. Though it shares an icon with the Bell-shaped kettle hat, it's physical in-game appearance is identical to the Two-piece kettle hat. It's location has yet to be verified.
- The third variant, as an added note, possesses the highest visibility-to-protection ratio of all helmets in the game, being more protective than other helms with face guards.
- Historical Accuracy: The first variant and its associated decorated version are based on a find from the Battle of Sudomer in Bohemia from 1420, also known from Plemieta Castle in Poland. The second and third variants, however, are based on off-the-shelf reenactors' equipment sold by various online vendors, with only limited historical grounding. Compared to the examples they're likely supposed to be based on (Malbork, 14th Century and Marsleban, 13th Century), they have significant errors in their shape and construction.
