Best helmets for early Int leveling?

Green Bandana are the best for early INT leveling since u can wear them at level 10
But they're hard to hunt as they only drop from Leprechaun . So its pretty pricey even at clean.. About 5m plus minus for a clean one .

 

Get any bamboo hat, buy a few int 30 helm scrolls, make a bamboo with 2 landed. 6int + 3dex/luk/str

 

Not really worth. If you are washing, you probably are switching out gear right before you level anyways, so the extra stats of dex/str is not going to matter. If you are scrolling for int gear, you already know that you are in to pay a good amount for it.

I agree with Meepy that a green dana is by far the best option because it is not only level 10, but it also has 10 slots to maximize your int output. Another nice option (as of this post and because it's maple anniversary) is to get clean red/blue maple bandanas and scroll those too since they are really common now and quite cheap. Blue maple bandanas are a little more expensive and comes close to the cost of a clean green bandana so red maple bandana would be your cost effective option.

TL;DR
Ideally: Green bandana
Cheap option: Red maple bandana

 

Green dana is probably the best due to the amount of slots it has but it will be costly due to the prices of 60% scrolls. You can get a blue maple bandana and use 100% scrolls on it to get a decent +int helm if you are trying to budget you mesos.

 

30/70% helm + maple red/blue bandana are you best bet right now. 30% goes anywhere from 1.5-2.5m and 70% are around 2-3.5. Maple red bandana goes anywhere from 500k to 1.5m and blue is about 2-5m

 

I got a 8 int 5 slot for sell and a 12 int 3 slot dana for renting (for a week or two),
Also got a 8 int flag and 9 int lvl 25 cape. if you like u can pm me.

And i agree, best option for budget would be getting red dana > 30% > 70% and that's it. So u have a 7 int dana without a lot of risk (like, will cost around 13-18m to make)
