Pal Metal Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★Forged from Pal Metal Ingot, it carries enormous weight in exchange for very high defense — gear that signals a hero's nerve.
Pal Metal Armor is 92nd of 145 body armours by defense, at 220 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Temperature Resist Cold1, Temperature Resist Heat1, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 41,140 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 220 to 352, 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.
