Heat Resistant Metal Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★Metal Armor reworked to hold strong heat resistance.
Heat Resistant Metal Armor is an early body armour: 110th of 145 by defense, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 105 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Temperature Resist Heat2, Temperature Resist Cold1, Element Resist Fire 1, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
This is where the crafting chain ends — nothing downstream consumes it, so a stockpile earns you nothing.
Details
At 30 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 22,130 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Heat Resistant Metal Armor
Heat Resistant Metal Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Heat Resistant Metal Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 105 to 168, a 1.6x 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.
| Rarity | Item | Defense | HP | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Heat Resistant Metal Armor (this one) | 105 | 250 | 1400 |
| 1★ | Heat Resistant Metal Armor | 136 | 325 | 2100 |
| 2★ | Heat Resistant Metal Armor | 147 | 350 | 2800 |
| 3★ | Heat Resistant Metal Armor | 157 | 375 | 4200 |
| 4★ | Heat Resistant Metal Armor | 168 | 400 | 5600 |

Alternatives and Upgrades
Cold Resistant Metal Armor matches it exactly at 105 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 Metal Armor at 112; below it is Metal Armor at 98.
