Padded Helmet
A snug fit, finely made.
The Padded Helmet is forged from 10 
Iron and 15 
Linen Thread, so it waits on flax from the Plains even though iron comes from the Swamp. It gives 26 armor, 2 more per upgrade, with no movement penalty. Upgrades cost 5, 10 and 20 iron with 10, 20 and 40 thread.
The Forge of Potential refines it at any quality, including past its cap of 4, for 1 Black Metal Protection Idol a try and no other materials. No other station asks for the idol.
| Material | Quality 2 | Quality 3 | Quality 4 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 5 | 10 | 20 | 45 |
| Linen Thread | 10 | 20 | 40 | 85 |
| Station level | Forge 2 | Forge 3 | Forge 4 |
Each quality level adds 2 armor and 200 durability. Quality 2 costs the per-level amount, quality 3 twice that and quality 4 four times, so the last level is more than half of the total.
With devcommands enabled, this drops Padded Helmet at your feet. The ID is case sensitive; the last number is the amount.
