Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody4★Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor is the strongest body armour in the game by defense, at 1,092.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 3, Heat Resistance Lv. 2, Ice Damage Reduction Lv. 1, Attack Up (S) Lv. 4, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 4,298,880 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Schematics That Unlock Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor
Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
