Lightweight Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★A reworked version of Ancient Armor whose ancient support mechanisms let the wearer haul a larger load.
Lightweight Ancient Armor is 19th of 145 body armours by defense, at 840 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 2, Heat Resistance Lv. 2, Max Carrying Capacity Lv. 4, 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 35 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 2,751,100 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Lightweight Ancient Armor Crafting Recipe

Where to Find Lightweight Ancient Armor
Lightweight Ancient Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Lightweight Ancient Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 840 to 1092, 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades
Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor matches it exactly at 840 defense — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw defense, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Ancient Armor at 880; below it is Ancient Armor at 800.
