I just forged this helm and analyzed it:
The great helm is a forged plate piece of armor.
It was made by someone with much greater skill than your own
It is in perfect condition.
It is an easy piece to make.
I have not forged much.. and not at all for some time, but when I first started an item I forged would appear to have been made by someone with about as much skill as my own. I just find it odd, if anyone could explain or let me know it is a normal thing.
