Lightweight Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody3★Lightweight Ancient Armor is 7th of 145 body armours by defense, at 1,008 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, Attack Up (S) Lv. 3, 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 4,737,980 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Schematics That Unlock Lightweight Ancient Armor
Lightweight 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.
