Thank you all for your participation and interest in the contest! You can see the full list on the last page. Enjoy!

Still more than 15 entries available!

Greetings all, time for my first contest! Since I've always loved animated gear, and as a shout-out for the fine work done by the developers at STG this will be a contest of awesome gear, specifically: Helmets with Animations!

To enter, post here and include a picture of someone (could be you, could be someone else) wearing your favorite animated helmet. And yes, cs preview is fine. The animation can be subtle like a slow color (or lighting) change or more pronounced like moving lightning. Please no vanity helms for this contest. Describe the animation briefly and the name of the helm. Include your ign or pm me with it if you prefer.

Yeah there are rules:
1. One entry per person.
2. If someone has already entered with your favorite, please choose another helm to avoid duplicate items.
3. Only the name needs to be unique since some of the animations and images have been reused between gear.
4. Again, no vanity helms (I know it's tempting).

Your chances are pretty good, I know of at least 26 helmets and with (now three) winners you can do the math. ;-)
First place is 500k gold, second place is 250k g and third place is a wintry wreath and a 2013 Halloween pink.

Out of all the entries, I'll choose the winners based on the quality of the post and frankly just my preference! Contest ends on Feb 20th and I'll provide the prize money after announcing the winners.

Special thanks to Sparterous for his suggestions!

If this contest is successful, please watch for future contests from me! Good luck and see you in game!

I can't participate. I am sad.

[Atila the nun]

Actually level one, I was thinking of you when I made the rules! the screenshot can be of someone else wearing the helm, and I'm sure one of your friends would be willing to help you out! Am I right?

The ultra sexy spikey black onyx helm

Aka: conqueror's onyx helm

I love the dark smooth textures paired with the long spikes that make it the coolyiest helm out there.

I vote sts to remake this to vanity too!

My favorite is the Sand-Skipper helmet. I opened up a booster pack from the PL trading card game, and received this Godly Card.


The mesmerizing effects of the gems and natural texture of the feathers make this exotic wear a must have.

Thank you all for your entries so far!! :-D
Some helpful feedback:
@lightzone looking good! If you want to add a description of the animation that'd be awesome!
@rolocolo I really like the conquerors onyx helm also, but unfortunately it is not animated (though your Hellscream sure is!) You're welcome to enter with another picture!
@dijnes just as you suspected, the helm isn't animated, that's the set animation. You know there's another vyxnar helm since you like that one...

@level one you know I got nothing but love for you!
@jjxeject don't worry, I saw that cool bow tie! Maybe that should be a new vanity item (hint, hint STG! )
@occultformula I got that card in my set too! But mine's foil! hey I see that there's already a sand skipper helm entered, you must mean the tiki god sand walker helm, which looks exactly the same!

Some great entries so far! Keep up the awesome work everyone!

The jewel in the helm has magma flowing through it.

Crowsbows, it looks like that's the wrong picture? Also, can you describe the animation for swift helm please? Thanks for your entry!
