The helm of Neitiznot is a popular all-round melee defence helmet rewarded for completing The Fremennik Isles quest, and it needs 55 Defence to wear. Its stats are roughly on par with a berserker helm but it adds a handy +3 Prayer bonus and carries no negative Magic or Ranged attack penalties, making it a cheap, non-degradable workhorse for mid-game melee. You can buy it on the Grand Exchange for a low price, or claim one from a shop in Neitiznot.

How to get the helm of Neitiznot
The helm of Neitiznot is a reward for completing The Fremennik Isles quest. Although it is tradeable and can be bought on the Grand Exchange, you can only equip it once you have finished The Fremennik Isles and have 55 Defence — buying it on the GE does not skip the quest.
- Additional copies can be bought from Mawnis Burowgar in Neitiznot for 50,000 coins.
- If you lose it and do not want to travel back to Neitiznot, Perdu will return it for 95,000 coins.
Once you have completed The Fremennik Exiles quest, the helm can be upgraded into the Neitiznot faceguard by combining it with a basilisk jaw.
Is the helm of Neitiznot worth it?
For mid-game melee it is one of the most-used helmets in the game, and for good reason: it is cheap, non-degradable, and has no negative Magic or Ranged attack bonuses, so you can wear it for almost any melee task without thinking about it. The +3 Prayer bonus is its standout feature versus a berserker helm, helping a little with prayer-heavy trips.
The natural upgrade is the Neitiznot faceguard, which improves on these stats but requires The Fremennik Exiles quest and a basilisk jaw. Until then, the helm of Neitiznot is a strong, low-cost pick for general melee gear and prayer-leaning setups.
