Cold Resistant Metal Armor
Armor · ArmorBody2★Cold Resistant Metal Armor is an early body armour: 103rd of 145 by defense, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 147 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 2, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, Ice Damage Reduction Lv. 1, 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 30 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 33,070 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Schematics That Unlock Cold Resistant Metal Armor
Cold Resistant Metal 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.
