Helm of Ro  

[Wed Mar 14 00:43:52 2012] You say, 'Hail, Thomas'
[Wed Mar 14 00:43:53 2012] Thomas says 'Welcome to our camp. We are paladins gathered from many lands. We have been called to this land by our deities. Ours is a crusade of righteousness. Have you happened upon us by chance or do you [seek the sacred molds]?'
[Wed Mar 14 00:44:03 2012] You say, 'I seek the sacred molds'
[Wed Mar 14 00:44:04 2012] Thomas says 'Many of us carry the sacred molds of the holy paladin armor. We will release it only to those who have proven themselves to each of our deities. If you seek it, speak up!! Tell us which part you seek. I carry the secret of the [Helm of Ro]. The others carry those of vambraces, breastplates, bracers, gauntlets, greaves and boots of Ro.'
[Wed Mar 14 00:45:27 2012] You say, 'What helm of ro?'
[Wed Mar 14 00:45:27 2012] Thomas says 'To receive the mold of the Helm of Ro you must first demonstrate your strength. Go to the plains of thunder. There you shall hunt down the most vile creatures I have ever encountered. Seek the undead cyclopes. I have spied them in the most dangerous portions of my realm. Fetch me two of their skulls.'

ok, to get the soil of underfoot you MUST have allied faction with the lady in the dorf cleric guild i gave the fairy dust to her with faciton of kindly she gave me nothing for it. its a real pain since the only place i ever seen fairys spawn is gfay can never find them .. always paying rangers to track them for me.

If ya'll want to know who to talk to about the helm it is Thomas at the paladin guild near the Feerrott zone.

When seeing the site
of Crushbone I droped
my bags and ran in.

Anyone know who you have to talk to in the Temple of Thunder to get this quest? My faction is currently at "ally" and still no one will mention the quest. Does it need to be higher or who do I have to see to get the quest? I already have the two skulls but am stuck at step 1. Please help!

I think i have a Cyclop's skull is that the same thing as what you guys are talking about or is there an Undead Cyclop's Skull?

First, the whole point of being a hybrid is to cast spells and tank (well, for Rangers, to cast spells and attack and hope not to get aggro'ed...hehe). I, as a 25 Pally, like to use Flash of Light (great taunt!), Yaulp (hey, 5 mana for 10 STR and 20 AC for 15 seconds isn't bad), Reckless Strength (20 STR minus 1 per tick until minus 10 STR (that takes 3 minutes, and you can just click off after every fight), Lull (when pulling), Root (when soloing or the group is in trouble), Light heal to keep the Ranger/Rogue/Monk ETC from dying (also works wonders on casters :) ), etc. After 30, chain stunning seems a good way to keep aggro, reduce damage taken by group, and so on, and we also get Healing then. With my Root Ward Undead Ward ward ward ward reroot etc till OOM then finish with melee, I can take yellow undead solo with only 1 or 2 bubs of health lost. And I can't wait till Luclin comes out, then us Pallys can make caster MoB's very useless with the Cease/Desist to interrupt first spell, then stun, then Cease/Desist the next spell (gotta use the stun, long recast on Cease and so on). Anyway, as the title says,"Wis=GOOD THING!"

EDIT: PS This is not simply a rant. This is aimed at the people posting below about how Pallys shouldn't "waste time" by casting "useless spells" in the middle of combat.

I don't know about the other ingredients, but I do know that if you hang out around South Karana even at lvl 15 - 16 (high enough to take a lion that could aggro on you), you can eventually get a couple undead cyclops skulls. The other stuff, and the faction required in Solusek may indeed pose a problem to low levels. People leave the skuls on the cyclops because no one can use them except you guys, and no one can sell them.

hi everybody,all the people always tell me that the pally sucks because they dont stand dammage but why i am always the last one to die in my group.i think pally are most tank than caster ,i dont cast so much spells when im fighting but i know that the one i cast make the difference between life and death sometimes ,im sure of it ,im verry proud to be a pally and you must be too and let everybody know that you are ,after all we are the peace keeper of norrath lol,it s true that the pally have they re weak point but all the class have they re own i guess,try too bring glory upon the paladin and to the lovely god erollisis marr,my god,take care evrybody and dont forget that we are the holy blood who fill the earth of norrath

I got the skulls (given to me), turned them in for and got the mold. Did all the other stuff and made my Ronium. I used the forge by the bank in North Freeport and combined the mold and ronium. No message, just a forge left with my ronium and no mold! What did I do wrong! The spoiler here says smithing skill not needed. Is this not true?

Just thought I would give my 2 CP worth. Flame me if you will..
I’m told/experienced that paladins are a mix of mob control (Stun, root, blind) dmg taking (Getting to mob off the tank for a bit while getting healed) and backup tank / healer. All though paladins dmg and healing and mob control skills are not as good as pure class we can do all them all. We can also take and give your far share of dmg.
I play my pally as a “group status watcher” I will root and stun when needed and pull adds of the tanks if we get them take them away and root them. Stun casters so they can’t cast on the team and most of all protect the pure casters. Sorry if I’m going on to much just thought that I would have my say.

Thanks :)

This isn't a level 35 item..with brains you can get this item easily at level 32

i was just in this fight with a snotnose twink lvl 16 pally who was tell me (at lvl 32) that str and ac were more important than mana, as the spells were just for buffs. NOT TRUE. obviously you need the best STR/AC?HP as possible to stay alvie, SO YOU CAN CAST SPELLS! as it has been said many times, we are great tanks, but warriors far outclass us in damagedealing and damage taking. as such, we have to find a new HYBRID role. As a paladin, you should always be a secondary tank if you have another tank class, so that you can root, stun, blind(its -5 or 10% attack ability on the mob. its 5 mana, so use it. its enough to make a difference) and heal, if the caster is oom or in need themselves. we are they best at disrupting casters. a pally with a fast 1hs, a good bash, and plenty of mana to stun cana keep a caster helpless as the rest of the party slaughters them. you are there to be a jack of all trades. YES you tank if there is no warrior, yes you can heal and buff if no cleric, but you can make both of them SO much more effective. a high lvl pally is usually regarded as a secondrate character as they are no long they best at anything, but rather they can make a tank much more effective than being a second warrior, or a caster/ healer more effective by reducing mana use. you share damage with the tank...can invigor and heal him, and cast on the mob, while the casters all save mana and gem slots for more important spells. There is a reason that Paladins get the best weapons and armor in the game, as well as LoH being greatest gift in the game. We are a WONDERFUL class, but extremely difficult to master. A pure caster or tank is so much easier to master. But no character can be as versitile or as fun to play as a pally who can do it all. Who else can wade in and take the abuse of 3 mobs, taunting them all to save a tank in trouble, root two and pull third to finish it off, while the casters heal the tank, then turn around and heal the cleric getting beat up by the mobs for having healed the tank. Then you run back in, and beat the heal out of whats left. I LOVE BEING A PALADIN. I usually hunt in a group of three pallys, a shaman, a druid, and the last spot rotates through various casters ( cleric/chanter/wizzy) we have yet to find a mid 30ish mob we cannot take if we fight smart.

As a level 40 cleric I can honestly say I prefer paladins over warriors as my tank. They can help me to heal casters if I have no clarity up, they can heal themselves and even the tank in combat.

They can stun and root the monster, aiding in crowd control and escapee friend-gathering prevention. They can blind/bash/taunt/stun/root to get the monster off me if I accidently heal too much, and if I really stuff my job up, they can loh me and save everyone's life.

As a level 18 paladin, I can say that wis is not the greatest thing to have, just nice. Mana items are more important.. my little paladin has 2 +3str+30mana rings and +50mana gauntlets.
This is more than enough to keep him buffed and yaulped, and he has sps left to heal after a fight. If there is no cleric he buffs and heals the rest of the party too.

Saying that a paladin needs wisdom to blast undeads is ludicrous. If they are fighting many undeads they should take a real cleric.
Saying that a paladin does not need wis because they are tanks is also wrong, a paladin who does not heal, yaulp, root, stun, blind and buff is not a very good paladin at all.

I will quest to get this helm and even post a walk-through for others, as it is a nice ac/wis helm. You also need a balance between ac, str and mana with your other items. Choosing not to have this helm just because it has wisdom is stupid.

just ask! ;-)

I think the wisdom is nice but, while in combat i suggest to use a SSB/EXE hood for procs, anyway pallys arnt ussually the pullers so after the creature dies and the puller goes for more u slip the ro helm and start healing or buffing ETC, and when the next fight comes put back the SSB wisdom is always good for certain situations

I dis agree, pallys need wis for their spells, I know i'm level 20 and i can't cast worth spit. The only thing more valuable to a pally is strength.

These stats aren't that good, a SSB would prolly be the choice of most paladins due to the +hp, most pally races don't even need + wis
