Harmy,
I've been wondering how to do this. Those helms are a bitch for a level 36
like myself that doesn't have a bunch of chummy level 50 friends. I've
tried to talk pickup groups in Oasis into pulling those things before (some
with high 40s players in them) and they've all laughed at me. :( I would
argue that due to circumstances that the helm is more difficult than the BP.
