The '''Gold helmet''' is a [[quest item]] made during the [[Between a Rock...]] quest. To create one, a player needs to use 3 [[gold bar]]s on an [[anvil]].

While wearing the helmet, the player can enter the massive [[Arzinian Mines]] near [[Keldagrim]] by being shot from [[Dondakan]]'s cannon. While in the mine, removing the helmet at any time teleports the player from the mine back to [[Dondakan]].

Along with the [[Barrelchest anchor]], the helmet is one of the heaviest pieces of equipment in the game. During the [[Between a Rock...|quest]], the helmet becomes so heavy that after 8 minutes in the [[Arzinian Mine|mine]] the player breaks down and removes it, which forces them to restart that part of the quest.

While the 8 minute time limit in the [[Arzinian Mine|mine]] no longer applies after quest completion, the player must wear the helmet at all times while in it. Logging out while in the mine leaves the helmet on but returns the player outside next to [[Dondakan]].

Following the quest, a player may continue to make gold helmets for 30 [[Smithing]] [[experience]]. However, a player may not have a gold helmet in their inventory while doing so. If they do, the avatar will say "I think I'd better use this <nowiki>[gold bar]</nowiki> in a furnace".

To gain additional helmets for [[Bank organisation]], a player can use a modified version of the [[drop trick]]. The player cannot pick up a second helmet with one in their inventory, as doing so will prompt a dialogue box stating, "There's no point in having two helmets." A player can work around this restriction by instead [[Telekinetic Grab|telegrabbing]] dropped helmets.

==Trivia==
*When you smith the gold helmet, a prompt in your chat box says "You forge a beautiful and very heavy golden helmet out of solid gold. Who knows, this might become a new fashion rage?"
*The examine text says "Made of gold and white gold", yet exactly where the white gold comes from is unknown. White gold is made by combining gold with other metals such as silver or platinum, but neither material enters into the process of creating the gold helmet. However, yellow gold can be dipped in a chemical acid to change its composition to white.
*At 31kg, it is also mysteriously heavier than the 3 [[gold bar]]s used in its creation.
*The helmet also has a "Rocket" shape to it, possibly for the aerodynamics of being shot out of a cannon.
*The [[Golden mining helmet]] can also be used to enter the Arzinian mines.
