Favorite Vanity Headgears in WoW Classic

Heads Up: WoW Classic’s Favorite Helmets

To some adventurers in Azeroth, fashion is just as important as a function—if not more. It’s obviously not a practical preference, but people have the right to have fun and play however they want. And of all the pieces of gear, the helmet is one of the most conspicuous, if not the most, so lots of players choose snazzy headgear. here are the most ten popular vanity helmets that you can buy with WoW Classic gold.

Red Defias Mask

Nothing says badass bandit better than a red mask over the nose and mouth, and that’s what exactly the Red Defias Mask is. Fittingly, but rather unfairly, only the Rogue class can equip it, so your dream of a gangster, Paladin has sadly been dashed.

Considering the title of the article, it is not only functionless style-wise but also mechanics-wise, as Defias thieves will still attack you!

Eye of Rend

Despite the fancy name, it’s just an eye patch. With it, you can pretend to be a pirate, a mercenary from a post-apocalyptic America movie, or a soldier and espionage expert from a Japanese video game.

Fortunately, unlike the Red Defias Mask, all classes can equip it. Plus, it has some stat bonuses, so it’s not altogether functionless.

Dragonstalker Helm

Having a helm made out of a dragon’s skull is an RPG staple. It’s a cranium cover that practically screams how much of a true dragon slayer you are. Aside from being a cool headgear, it’s also one of the eight pieces of the Dragonstalker Set, which is exclusively for hunters.

Dropped by Onyxia, this helm has quite the stat bonuses as well. Plus, if you complete the set, you get bonus attack power to Aspect of the Hawk, bonus stamina for your pets, and a chance to inflict Expose Weakness by attacking the target.

Crown of Destruction

Some gears are on fire. By that, we mean super-stylish–that’s just how the slang is nowadays. But then there is a helmet that is literally fire: the Crown of Destruction.

Yes, it is just fire on the head of the wearer, which can only be equipped by Mail armor classes. And that’s exactly what makes it such a sought-after piece of equipment.

Nemesis Skullcap

Maybe the whole draconic helm aesthetic isn’t your thing, but you still want the skull of a dead creature on your head. If that’s the case for you, then the Nemesis Skullcap is something you’ll definitely covet. Rather than a dragon’s, it’s from a demon, making you a lot more badass and frightening! The bright green Felglow definitely helps in that effect.

Unfortunately, only Warlocks can equip it. A shame that much like the Dragonstalker Helm, this headgear is also class-exclusive. But hey, maybe this can encourage you to make a character that is either these two classes. Or better yet, both!

Preceptor’s Hat

The last, but definitely not the least, helmet on our list that you can by using WoW Classic Gold, and old piece of gear: the Preceptor’s Hat. That’s a fancy name for your usual wizard’s hat. Think Gandalf, Dumbledore, and the sorting hat!

Aside from being a pretty cool headgear, it’s got good stats that are well-suited to spellcasting classes. To get one, you have to hope that Heigan the Unclean, a boss in Naxxramas, drops one. It’s a rather low 20%, but hey, it’s better than nothing!

So there you have it, a few of the many headgears that have become popular in WoW solely for their visuals. Did we miss any? Do you have other cool, funky, or downright bizarre helmets you have in mind? If the answer is yes, you better tell us. Who knows? We may even feature them on our next list!
