    Hello all! As the title suggests, I would like to know your opinion on getting Zak Helm without paying for the service. But rather, you reach the appropriate level and fight it with other people to get it (other people who do not have the helm too).
    Many guides suggest paying for the service ASAP so that you can get good and have the best stats as early as possible to reduce washing or have good dmg. However, I was thinking about how the first Maplers get their own Zak helms. What level would you have to be and any advice for someone going this route?

    I'm a level 60 bandit right now if it helps!

    Just get a Lord Pirate's Hat as an alternative.
    Then fight zakum yourself once you're 135 or 140 (with a party ofc).

    If you want to get you own on your own then being at least lvl 135 will be the way to go. You could even go lower level than that, but at 135 you get the exp.

    Some times people in the community will take you in and give you a free helm. I've done it plenty of times, just gotta stay alive to grab one in the end if you don't need HB or anything.

    Depending on your class, you'll just need hp gear.

    It’s recommended to get a Zak helm early as it’s relatively cheap for the boosts it provides. The stats are significant but the real value at level 50 is the weapon defense, as it’ll save you a ton in pots as you level. Zak is recommended for this as it’s lower level and higher Wdef than alternatives like Rav helm and Pirate hat.

    That being said there’s no strict requirement to get one, it’s just recommended because it’s extremely effective for what you’re paying for.

    Seems most players are missing the point of your question as they see the game purely from a mix/max perspective. Unfortunately, I think it would be tough to find a group of 13x helm-less players at this stage of the server. I'm assuming the earliest zakum runs in this server were players around level 13x-14x. They likely weren't very fast runs as they probably had worse gear and worse skillbooks(no tt NLs until zak dies) than the average 13x now as well, but it's very do-able with a 13x party. One option is you could wait til that level and host your own run and ask players if they want to roll for helms, but they will probably all have their own helms at that point and there isn't much you could do about that. Another option that may interest you is the "NewLeaf" guild but it would require you to start a new character.
