Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor
Armor · ArmorBody3★Ancient Armor refined further, its heat resistance raised by ancient technology until it can ride out scorching environments.
Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor is 6th of 145 body armours by defense, at 1,008 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 2, Heat Resistance Lv. 3, Fire Damage Reduction Lv. 1, Attack Up (S) Lv. 3, 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 3,596,180 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is fishing in the World Tree at 2.6% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 840 to 1092, a 1.3x 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 Ancient Armor | 840 | 2400 | 25000 |
| 1★ | Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor | 924 | 2640 | 37500 |
| 2★ | Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor | 966 | 2760 | 50000 |
| 3★ | Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor (this one) | 1008 | 2880 | 75000 |
| 4★ | Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor | 1092 | 3120 | 100000 |
Schematics That Unlock Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor
The Technology tree hands you the plain Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor at level 75 for 5 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. 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 fastest route is fishing in the World Tree, and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Heat-Resistant Ancient Armor schematic works out at roughly 54 containers against the 119 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. 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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|

Alternatives and Upgrades
Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor matches it exactly at 1,008 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 Ancient Armor at 1,040; below it is Lightweight Ancient Armor at 1,008.
