| Orichalcum Helmet | 12 × Orichalcum Bar | Mythril Anvil |
Constructing the orichalcum ranger visor
Assembled at an anvil from 12 Orichalcum Bar ingots, this helm grants 7 defense, 15% increased ranged critical strike chance, and an 8% boost to running speed. It equips rangers with sharp critical hit rates and agile footwork when kiting early Hardmode beasts. Forging the entire orichalcum suit requires 56 bars smelted from 224 ore pieces.
Triggering petal barrages with high-fire-rate firearms
Wearing this helmet alongside Orichalcum Breastplate and Orichalcum Leggings activates the petal shower set bonus. Rapid-fire ranged weapons like the Clockwork Assault Rifle or Minishark trigger continuous streams of piercing petals, multiplying damage against dense enemy crowds and mechanical boss bodies alike. The combined mobility and petal procs make it a fierce competitor to Tier 3 armor options during early boss fights.
Trivia
- Orichalcum Helmet prioritizes critical chance and mobility over direct percentage damage increases.
- The petal projectiles summoned by the set bonus deal 36 base damage and pierce multiple foes.
