Pikeman's Helmet is the Rarehead piece of the Pikeman's Armor set in Windrose. It is crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop after unlocking the Plans: Pikeman's Helmet recipe.
Rarity: Rare
Slot: Head
Set: Pikeman's Armor
Item Level: Base ilvl 1; scales to ilvl 11 through tier upgrades
"Infantry armor of the Spanish tercio. Favored by buccaneers of the archipelago for its ideal balance of protection and mobility, essential for hunting the local beasts."
Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Pikeman's Helmet has three crafting tiers that set its base Defense. Each tier can be upgraded several more levels at the Upgrading Station using the same recipe materials.
Item Level | Defense | Craft Tier |
|---|---|---|
1 | 100 DEF | Base tier |
6 | 160 DEF | Second tier (upgraded recipe) |
11 | 200 DEF | Third tier (top recipe) |
Requires the craft plan Plans: Pikeman's Helmet to be unlocked first. The plan is unlocked through progression with the Smugglers of Port Royal faction at higher Reputation Ranks beyond the torso and legs plans that open at Rank 2.
Item Level | Station | Materials |
|---|---|---|

11 |
Each tier unlocks a new workshop attachment: the Shoemaker's Bench at ilvl 6 and the Material Rack at ilvl 11. Both attach to the Armor and Clothing Workshop and require its Bonfire coverage to function.
Pikeman's Helmet fills the head slot of the five-piece Pikeman's Armor set. The other four slots are the cuirass, pants, gloves, and boots:
Piece | Slot |
|---|---|
Head | |
Chest | |
Legs | |
Hands | |
Feet |
Pikeman's Helmet counts toward the Pikeman's Armor 5-piece set. Set bonuses apply globally once the stated number of pieces are equipped at the same time.
Pieces | Bonus |
|---|---|
2-piece | Increases maximum Health by 160. |
4-piece | Increases two-handed weapon Damage by 15%. |
Although the set has five slots, its bonuses cap at the 4-piece tier. The 4-piece two-handed weapon damage boost makes Pikeman a natural partner for Greatsword and Halberd builds, while the 160 Health from the 2-piece keeps it useful even when run as a half-set splash.
"All enemies should be taken seriously. Even if it's a dodo."
Pikeman's Helmet covers the head slot for this set. Wear three more set pieces for the 4-piece bonus, or any one other set piece for the 2-piece bonus.
Counts as one piece toward the Pikeman's Armor 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses: pairing it with a second piece from the same set is usually the minimum to get value out of the plan.

Pikeman's Helmet is a crafted piece rather than a world drop. Build it at the Armor and Clothing Workshop once the Plans: Pikeman's Helmet recipe is unlocked through Smugglers of Port Royal reputation. The base material cost is 3 Copper Ingot and 2 Coarse Fabric, and higher tiers swap up to Foothills Iron Ingot and Mire Metal Ingot as shown in the crafting table above.
