| Meteor Helmet | 10 × Meteorite Bar | Iron Anvil |
Crash site alloy smithing and magic potency enhancement
Hammered out at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil from 10 Meteorite Bar ingots, the Meteor Helmet provides 5 defense and boosts magic damage by 9%. Securing this headpiece requires mining crashed meteorite sites with a gold or platinum pickaxe after destroying a shadow orb or crimson heart in your world's evil biome.
Space Gun mana nullification and early boss obliteration
Assembling this helmet with the Meteor Suit and Meteor Leggings raises your total magic damage bonus to 27% and activates a set bonus reducing the mana cost of the Space Gun to 0. This synergy transforms the ray gun into a free rapid-fire energy weapon, shredding large groups of enemies and easily dissolving pre-Hardmode threats like the Eater of Worlds without consuming mana potions.
Trivia
- Requires 10 meteorite bars, which are smelted from 30 raw meteorite ores at a standard furnace.
- Wearing the complete meteor set reduces the mana cost of the Space Gun to zero.
