Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★Armor forged out of Soralite Ingot using the know-how of a civilization long gone. Its defense runs high enough to hold up against cataclysmic threats.
Ancient Armor is 20th of 145 body armours by defense, at 800 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 2, Heat Resistance Lv. 2, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 1,169,780 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Ancient Armor
Ancient Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Ancient Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 800 to 1040, a 1.3x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
