Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody2★Ancient Armor is 15th of 145 body armours by defense, at 920 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 2, Heat Resistance Lv. 2, Attack Up (S) Lv. 2, 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 1,611,310 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Ancient Armor Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 56 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 45× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Ancient Armor
Ancient Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Schematics That Unlock Ancient Armor
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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 2★ | Treasure chests in the Sky Island, Sky Island, Enemy camp loot in the Sky Island +4 more (grade 5/6) · Supply drops in the Sky Island (3.48%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Lightweight Ancient Armor at 924 defense; step down and it is Ancient Armor at 880. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
