If ever i wanna get a z helm, is it more useful then a 10 attack wg? I know that it gives lots of accuracy but if you count the wep attack bonuses it will give ya. Ty comment

10 Atk wg will add more dmg.

I would personally prefer a Z-helm. It's an end-game helm, meaning you will NEVER EVER have to upgrade it, unless Scarlion comes out, which I don't think will for a very long time.

since ur a cb a zakum helm is ur last helm u will get so u will never regret from buying it even tough 10atk wg > zakum helm in damage

Just used the calculator on hidden-street.net. Assuming you are a level 50 dexless bandit with nothing but an average wagner and either a 10atk WG or an average ZHelm then these would be your damage ranges. 10 ATK WG Minimum Damage: 219 Maximum Damage: 402 ZHelm Minimum Damage: 221 Maximum Damage: 391 That's a 10 damage change between the two which kind of reminds me of the blunt/axe vs sword argument. So, if you want a higher min and lower max (more stable) with massive defense buffs instead of a higher max and lower min, then go with the ZHelm. However, keep in mind that you're a 63 and probably have other buff already, so those numbers might be a bit skewed.

Depends if you have meso to burn. Stat wise yes. If you need to hit monsters that you can't already hit. Get a zhelm. damage wise wgs.

The hidden-street calculator is the most inaccurate calculator I've ever seen. 10 atk WG's equal to around 3 zakum helmets at a higher level, and maybe around 2 zhelms in your level. Just go with the WG's, you can worry about a z-helm later.

If it doesnt make any dmg sense on a CB would it do any sense on a I/L lvl 78?

if u have the money, get the glove for sure, u will eventually be able to pick up ur own zhelm but if u pay for zhelm with a guild its considerably cheaper than glove, so u can get later as for the mage asking, u never need attack glove, zhelm for sure! 25-40mil from a guild and u can pick up urself last hat u ever have to buy!

just buy a cheap 7 att wg and get a zhelm there you dont ever need a hat now just try upgrading your wg.

ShiFuWizard Sep 09 2009 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Well anything 8 att and lower is fairly cheap... only a 2 att difference, so I'd rather get a zhelm and a 7/8 att wg Oh yea one more thing to consider is being able to resell the equip. With zhelm, you have to karma it again, so if you need money for any reason, it would be unwise to resell your zhelm... so yea.

Zhelm is good int gear and getting it early means that if you ever wanted to hp wash you could do it more Also dont buy your helm SoK just do your quests and buy a REG helm for 15-20 M

Not to mention Zhelm might give you the extra dex/ str needed for a godly-to-be dagger Personally, on a flat out situation, the wg might help your damage more, if you already have your end-game weapon. If not, going for the z-helm is a safer bet, as you probably wont need to upgrade as much.
