Hallowed Plate Mail
Armor · ArmorBody0★[Tides of Terraria] Armor worked from Hallowed Bar. The divine power in it cuts the damage taken from [Tides of Terraria] monsters.
Hallowed Plate Mail is 94th of 145 body armours by defense, at 200 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, Hallowed Guard, 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

Where to Find Hallowed Plate Mail
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure chests in the Yakushima at 7.1% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Hallowed Plate Mail
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 200 to 320, 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.

Schematics That Unlock Hallowed Plate Mail
Hallowed Plate Mail 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.
Fastest route. The top-tier Hallowed Plate Mail schematic is worth hunting directly — treasure chests in the Yakushima is its best source, at roughly 14 containers a copy. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
