Deepdive Helmet

This is Cheap to make one of these than to buy Undewater breathing pots. And this never runs out. I like to goto a coast where i can see allience Fishing and put hunters mark on them from a distance under the water. Where there is no one around and they think there alone its quite funny lol. Average Cost: 4g to make. Although the mats arn't hard to grind.

What I don't understand is, how could this be cloth if it's made solely out of gems and metal? O_o

Don't question Gnomish Technology! It works... and it's already a miracle it does.

Captain Nemo, sir!

It's pretty neat to stay underwater for a long time, but if you're looking for a PvP 'underwater breathing item', you should go for the Hydrocane from Gnomeregan (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9452). It won't cost you any money and it's equippable in combat.

unless your a rogue or paladin

Or a Death Knight.

just wondering, are there schematics for this item? or will the trainer teach me

In fact, there is a Schematic for it, Jubie Gadgetspring sells it, and she is located in Azshara, here is a map of her. http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=16:453902 It costs 36 silver to purchase it.

the schematic for this can be bought from Jubie Gadgetspring (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=8678#sells) in Azshara at a limited supply

One of the most useful items that an engineer can make, I have found that this item has saved my butt in many, many water-based situations. I was fortunately able to make this before going to STV to quest, and this helmet became one of my favorite tools when doing the large number of water-based quests there. In addition, the naga-related quest line in the Arathi Highlands BEGS for the use of this little baby. Definitely worthwhile to buy or make; the amount of money the schematic costs on the AH does not compare to the fun you will have exploring the Vile Reef of Strenglethorn Vale.

it looks hilarious/terrible on tauren, like they are a dog that got their head stuck in a bucket fix it blizzard!, make horn holes?!

then turn helm graphics off duh

Nonono, keep all the gigglepoints you can get.

Quick [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=10506/deepdive-helmet#modelviewer:6+0]link[/url] to view this in 3D. (open in New Tab or link will not work).

If they make holes for horns, what is the purpose of it being a deepdive helm??

It's also Upside Down

Well, the night elves' ears stick out, so why not Tauren horns? Anyway, my Tauren druid is my engineer, and I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this. Abso-fricking-lutely hilarious. Please, use the 3D viewer above and look at it.

okay think about this. Night Elf/Blood Elf/Taurn/Male troll tusks(not so sure if they do stick out) Leaving 1-2 holes in a helmet meant for water breathing. You make 1-2 openings that allow water to run in if you make a hole too big! Also.... Wheres the air tubes and junk that would supply air under water? All I see is a big diving helm.

Magic! Engineer magic!

What amazes me most about this piece is that it is considered a cloth piece when I'm pretty sure we can all agree that it looks to be made out of some kind of metal..

It's cloth because every class in the game can equip cloth items. I realize it's not in the aesthetics, but that's the technical reason.

Arguably the most ugly and the simultaneously the most aesthetically awesome thing an engineer can make. I keep one in my bank for lulz. In reality only a few zones require water breathing. Most quest can be done without.

+15 stamina at level 20 on a gnome.. Incase I havnt missed any other goggles, That is.. epic to say the least. :o [Edit] Youve got the lucky fishing hat, but that's harder to get.. Heh. Id perfer to have a level 20 gnome with +15 stam without having a friend run me through anything.

After seeing how this looks on a Tauren, I can honestly say I want to make a Big Daddy character now.

Does anyone know what items would go well with this (aesthetically)?

[item=0][item=5200] Works great with this helm.

Cloth is generally agreed to be a poor material for diving helmets.

Why is the big window on the top of the taurens head! Shouldn't it be somewhere like in front of the face so the tauren can see? xD

Does anyone know of any other items that could work with this? Kinda like the Gnome Diver ([npc=31689 domain=www]?), I really need it for my RPing gear ^^

They shold make a helmet with windows on top,so taurens can see!xD

Looks the best on the Tauren never personally had a Tauren but I did see one with the helm made me roflmao The helms the best when your being hunted by High level horde and or Aliance God knows it saved my gnomes ass once or twice.

NOT Transmogrifiable.

I don't know why Blizz keeps cutting into our dressing fun....why cant this be mogged ? :P

Because then engineers could turn a profit...duh

@Skullhawk13: but the goblin rocket helm is moggable... so explain that.

It is probably because someone might mog it and expect to be able to breathe underwater. I can't think of any other reason.

NOW transmogrifiable

per the transmog rules.....this is a green and it has it has stats....yet can't be used. but the goblin rocket helm can be. i don't understand the reasoning, both are rather weird/unique

Very strange and I think rather unfair.

As of current patch, this is trainable at profession trainer with neither gnomish nor goblin engineering requirement.

This was incredibly useful back when the breath timer was only 1 minute. Now it isn't that great.

As of 7.0 you can no longer transmog this helm into other helms unless you're cloth. However if you had one transmoged since before the patch, it'll remains transmoged.

Edit: I found a work-around for this. Save a transmog set with the helm of your choice Change into the Deepdive helm, then load the transmog set Save!

Mostly puting this here for people who might be RPing a Death Knights and need a way to breath underwater.

Tooltip is wrong, item does [i]not[/i] allow underwater breathing. The blue "breath" bar still shows when underwater, and when it runs out you start taking damage. Imgur shows that it doesnt work. https://imgur.com/gallery/XtYYiYi

I've tested it today on my engineer (she sat in a deep pool) and it was working, she could breathe underwater with it on (and not breathe when she took it off).

Helmet is now transmogifiable. Is that a word? Who cares. I'm a rogue and I can transmog this helmet. Stealth patch things. THANKS BLIZZ! LOVE YOU.

This is only partially correct. The helmet was transmogrifiable before 8.2, but not anymore. Now it can only be transmogrified onto other items. I had just spent a lot of mats and time grinding so 3 characters could use this item for chilling underwater - up to the night before 8.2's release. Now every time they go underwater they have a metal burka stuck on their heads. Would appreciate if there was a way that Blizzard could cater to others without stepping on me - like letting me still be able to transmogrify this helmet even though its now a cosmetic-class item instead of cloth.

As far as transmogging goes, be aware, it isn't exactly "transmoggable" in the traditional sense. 1) In order to use it as a transmog, THAT toon has to be an engineer. 2) You can't make it on another toon, wear it to get the appearance, then use the appearance on a toon that is NOT an engineer. 3) You have to have level 230 engineering to use it as an appearance. I made this on my engineering toon in order to try and get the appearance for my main, who does NOT have engineering. That does not work. It WILL show up as an appearance, but you'll get a message that says: Deepdive Helmet Engineering (230) required to use this appearance. Rather disappointing. I get not allowing non-engineers to use engineering items for their actual purpose, in this case underwater breathing, but the appearance itself should be open for any toon once you've acquired it, regardless of professions.

you can use this macro to equip this helm and my running the macro again it will equip your previous equipped helmet, all the credits go to [url=https://www.wowhead.com/user=quthar]quthar[/url] who made this code:

[code]/run local c,e=10506,GetInventoryItemID('player',1)if c==e and DDH_PREVEQ then EquipItemByName(DDH_PREVEQ)DDH_PREVEQ=nil else DDH_PREVEQ=e and GetItemInfo(e)EquipItemByName(c)end[/code]

Can only be used by engineers with a lvl 230 engineer rating. I made these deepdive helmets for all my alts before I saw this little disclaimer "Requires engineering (230)." I thought wrongly that when engineers got to engineering level 230, they could make them for everyone. What a sick joke. My engineer can use it. I can sell it to lazy engineers at the auction. Just another Warcraft creator "gotcha." Really sick Warcrafters.
