A harmonium helm is a type of helm that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a base material of metal, and appears as a red-lacquered spined helm when unidentified.

Generation

Harmonium helms are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones.

Some monsters are generated with harmonium helms when they are created while inside the Law Quest:

  • Captains are always generated with a harmonium helm.
  • Lieutenants are always generated with a harmonium helm.
  • Sergeants are always generated with a harmonium helm.
  • Soldiers are always generated with a harmonium helm.

Oona can be paid to smithing a platinum harmonium helm if she is peaceful, or for free if she is tame. The helm can be attuned to one of three elements — ice, fire, and electricity. The resulting harmonium helm will be blessed, have an enchantment of +0, and grant resistance against the attuned element, as well as obtaining the appropriate minor elemental object property: forge-hot, crystalline and arcing, respectively.

A hero with skill in smithing cannot make harmonium helms.

Description

While worn, a harmonium helm grants 1 base AC, 4 DR, and wearing or removing a harmonium helm takes 1 action. As harmonium armor, harmonium helms gain +1 DR against attacks made by Neutral monsters and +2 DR against those made by Chaotic monsters.
