Refined Metal Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★Built from high quality metal — excellent protection, at the cost of considerable weight.
Refined Metal Armor is an early body armour: 102nd of 145 by defense, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 150 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, 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 32,690 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Refined Metal Armor
Refined Metal Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Refined Metal Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 150 to 240, 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.
