Introduced by the Royalty DLC, the Eltex helmet allows psychic pawns to be more effective, improving the strength and cooldown of their Psycasts.

Acquisition

This item cannot be crafted but only purchased through trade or received as a quest reward.

Analysis

Despite being called a helmet, its protection is comparable to a bowler hat made of low-mid tier materials. It only blocks minimal damage and, with its low HP, wouldn't last very long either. Eltex helmets also appease the headwear requirements of all nobles.

An Eltex helmet improves a pawns Psychic entropy recovery rate by 2.0 per 30 seconds, and their Psychic Sensitivity by an amount dependent on the quality.
