Visit him in Renaissance Center to get your free helmet. This has already begun, and will run until Monday.
Start time: 12:01 AM PST Friday, January 11
End time: 3 AM PST Monday, January 14

*This is an account-wide unlock.
*This item is bind-on-pickup.
*This may be available in the future in a different form; we haven't decided on that. Regardless, the only sure way to get this helmet is this weekend.
I don't want to be a party poper, but there is an issue with this helmet: It's too rusty.
Actually, the problem is that its look doesn't fit with any other costume pieces we have. This helmet looks out of place in virtually EVERY costume!
Now, if there was at least a whole set of rusty armor/diving gear, that would make it less of a problem...

Not even the Ancient Armour set? I'm sure it would easily fit that one...Considering both are Lemurian designed.
While I'm all for new costume pieces, I have to be honest here: When you guys said you were releasing the hovercycles and a new helmet, I was *sure* it was going to be some sort of motorcycle-esque helmet, (that would make more sense, IMO).

Beat me to it - what's the point of a costume piece that doesn't fit with anything else?

It's probably to go with the rest of the upcoming mega-event theme.

I suspect we are gonna see more pieces. Plus if you colour it correctly it is no longer rusty or flaky. the costume creator is your friend, learn how to use it and let's not moan about something that is free.
Not what I was expecting either (thought it would be an UNTIL or motorcycle helmet as well)
It'll fit with more "Steampunk" style characters who want to venture into the depths. Initially I was a bit disappointed with it because I thought it'd be something else. But really it's a good design. If you've got a more mystic themed or pulp/steampunk/dieselpunk style character and need a helmet to go underwater with other than the Sci-Fi or UNTIL version, this is a good alternative.

I'd log into get a helmet shaped like a motorcycle.
A little while ago i made a costume for exploring Lemuria.. and i wasn't fully happy with it.
So i struggled for a while to get this helmet working having rushed to the tailor as soon as i had it.
It took a while, with scouring through costume parts mainly looking for steampunk patterns.
And the end result is an outfit i'm much happier with.
So thanks for the great helmet!
Oh and for those struggling to get an outfit together, don't forget there's the rusty ribbed tights!

Thanks for the free costume piece, Cryptic. Got mine yesterday. Woot!
(And I'm astounded how many complaints there are about this... It's Free! :rolleyes:)

I made a 'battered' looking set of armor with this new helmet. Unless I glossed over the option, though, it seemed the only way to get a human looking head was to use the Nighthawk head (which is fine for THIS character, luckily). I just did the treasure-box search to find the helmet and APPLIED it from there; usually, though, if the helmet can be used in different categories it's listed multiple times, so it may be that alien/monstrous head in helmet is the only category in which it exists.
Sigh, I would have really liked it, but sadly I had to leave the country and visit my very ill mother for a week who has no internet access I really hope we get another non drop box method of getting it in the future.

Professor Kaspar is near the Powerhouse, opposite the Drifter.
@brainstem
Yeah, I miswrote the blog post. >.< Fixed now.
Wonder if there's gonna be a full set...
Deliciously nutritious!

hmm.. Now I wonder if your sentiment is shared with Don Quixote or with Barber and Sancho...

Wait? Whaaaa..?
How about a motorcycle shaped like a helmet?
\o/
Hope I can find time this weekend to log-in to get this... *thinks*
Regardless, it's good to see stuff like this. *thumbs up*
PS: Bug fixes too please! Get those bug report tickets from the in-game GUI working.
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
If I didn't have to spend $300 on keys to get one, I'd be all for it.
Wait? Whaaaa..?
This sig is more useless than my last one.
The only thing I wished it had was the option to make the bubble part opaque (excluding the vision area).
