A detailed Farseer helm.

The Farseer helm is a members-only piece of Fremennik armour. It is also known as the Magic helmet and is considered to be one of the best magic helmets, due to its non degradability, defence bonus, and substantial magic attack bonus. To wear a farseer helm, the player needs to have completed The Fremennik Trials and have at least 45 Defence. To obtain, buy one from Skulgrimen in Rellekka, trade with another player, or receive one as a Dagannoth drop on Waterbirth Island. It can also be obtained by gambling 500 honour points on Barbarian Assault.

The helm was once quite popular in the older days of player-killing due to the 'hybriding' craze. It was quickly outstripped in performance by the Helm of neitiznot, and is now rarely seen equipped.

Its magic attack bonus is the same as the Infinity hat's, but it has higher defensive bonuses and is cheaper than the hat.

With the second Summoning update, a player can have Pikkupstix enchant the helm at which point it becomes a Farseer helm (e) and can hold up to 70 Summoning scrolls and requires level 35 Summoning to enchant. When charged it takes on a lighter colour and becomes a Farseer helm (charged).
