Black Hooded Iron Helm ❘ 黒フードの鉄兜	Attire

In-Game Description Iron helmet worn by hunters of the Unseen Village. The hunters of Yahar'gul answer to the village's founders, the School of Mensis. Hunters in name only, these kidnappers wear their black hoods low to shadow their eyes. This helm is made of metal, a rarity for hunter garb, and has high defence, but only against physical attacks. Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓ Overview Each piece of attire contributes to your overall defense and changes your character's appearance. While different pieces of attire do have different effects, the changes are typically not drastic enough to override aesthetic considerations. Information on highest defense combination of attire can be found on Highest Defense Armor Sets page. Availability Treasure in (Main Story): Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Evening), right path on the Main Street from Yahar'gul Chapel Clothing Defense Clothing Defense is a percentage reduction after Physical DEF is applied. "Every 10 points of defense is 1% damage reduction." Each type is specific and separate in this category. The entry for "Physical" (read as, Physical damage that's not specifically Thrust or Blunt) doesn't apply to Thrust or Blunt damage, as they each have their own separate numbers. Separate items of clothing stack multiplicatively, rather than additively like you might expect. Hat, chest, arms, legs of 50, 100, 40, 40 respectively for example, would yield 212, or 1000 * (1 - (.95 * .9 * .96 * .96)), rather than 230. Caryll Runes that affect damage resistance stack on top of your Clothing Defense. Note that the "Physical" defense rune increases Physical, Thrust, Blunt, and Blood. "Arcane" only affects Arcane, but not Bolt and Fire, which each have their own rune. These also stack multiplicatively on top of clothing (and each-other). A 5% rune would be like adding a clothing item with 50 defense in that category. In the example above, you'd go from 212 to 251 with a +5% rune. More information can be found in damage reduction page. Hidden Equip Load Despite hidden "Equip Load" being removed for stamina regeneration with patch 1.04 (more information on Weight System page). It does affect the fall damage. Equip Load gets higher by equipping pieces of attire, right and left hand weapons, furthermore in case of the weapons even unequipped ones in your quick menu count. Higher the hidden "Equip Load" the more damage will your character take from the fall damage. Interestingly enough pieces of attire from The Old Hunters DLC has no weight penalty, therefore as if you would fall naked (more information on Fall Damage page). Notes Has one of the highest Physical defense of all head pieces. Part of the Yahar'gul Black Set.
