Check the Item levels and compare to the Monster Levels to see exactly which monsters can drop which types of helms. ItemĮlite Primal Helms can be found in Acts 4 and 5 of Nightmare, and then all through Hell difficulty. The hue and color of base items in Diablo II can vary greatly, depending on the item’s modifiers.Įxceptional Primal Helms can be found in Acts 4 and 5 of normal, and then all through Nightmare and Hell.Clvl Req: Your character must be this level or higher to equip the item.Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well.

These random +skills work just like the bonuses you see on wands/ scepters/ staves in Diablo 2, and can occur on normal, magical, and Rare items. The bug where no Clvl 30 skills would occur in Diablo II has been fixed in the Expansion. Primal Helms cannot be gambled in the Expansion, they must be found.Īny Barbarian helm may have +1-3 points in up to 3 individual skills from all three of his skill trees, Combat Skills, Warcries, and Combat Masteries, from Clvl 1 up to the Clvl 30 skills. A really good rare or unique helm is going to beat most barb-helms, but the possible dream mods on a Barb- helm are the best you can find. Barbarians can wear them or not, it all depends on the stats found on them.

These are helms with magical stats like any other headgear, and the ability to have special +to barbarian skills, as well as +to all Barb skills. This is in contrast with magic items possessing class-specific Skill Level and Barbarian Skill Tree prefixes, which may be used by classes other than the Barbarian without benefiting from the skill modifiers.īarbarians get Primal Helms in the Expansion. The real difference is that these items can only be used by one character class, and they can have random bonuses to individual skills, much like the ones you see on wands/ staves/ scepters in Diablo II. They have a variety of stats and types, can be found magical, Rare, Unique, and sometimes in Sets as well. Diablo 2 Barbarian Items are much like other items.
