Shellbug Helmet

The Shellbug Helmet is a Heavy Armor helmet crafted using the rare Shellbug Chitin. It is in between Orcish and Ebony in terms of base armour rating, but conveniently weighs less than both.

Acquisition
The unique Shellbug Chitin used to create the helmet can be found in the Forgotten Vale Cave and Sharpslope Cave. There is a shellbug in each of these caves, which can each be mined for three pieces of shellbug chitin before they die and will respawn in a week in game time, for a total of six pieces of Shellbug Chitin per week.

The helmet can be forged with two Shellbug Chitin and two Iron Ingots in the 'Misc' category of the forge menu, and can be improved using a single piece of Shellbug Chitin.

Facts

 * It is considered a part of Falmer Armor and its varients, and as such will recieve the Full Set armor bonus if that perk has been chosen.
 * With a higher armor rating than a Falmer Heavy Helm, the Shellbug Helmet is the best option when wearing any Falmer Armor.
