Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor
Armor · ArmorBody1★Plasteel Armor, improved and highly resistant to heat.
Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor is 57th of 145 body armours by defense, at 520 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 2, Fire Damage Reduction Lv. 1, Attack Up (S) Lv. 1, 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 35 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 199,000 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 108 materials across 5 types.
Where to Find Heat Resistant Plasteel 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 enemy camp boss stashes in the Sakurajima at 5.9% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 400 to 640, 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 Plasteel Armor | 400 | 1300 | 18000 |
| 1★ | Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor (this one) | 520 | 1560 | 27000 |
| 2★ | Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor | 560 | 1690 | 36000 |
| 3★ | Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor | 600 | 1820 | 54000 |
| 4★ | Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor | 640 | 1950 | 72000 |
Schematics That Unlock Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor
The Technology tree hands you the plain Heat Resistant Plasteel Armor at level 53 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 sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Sakurajima, 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 Plasteel Armor schematic works out at roughly 38 containers against the 94 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Sakurajima camp stashes, Sakurajima camp loot, Sakurajima chests +3 more — best 5.9% (grade 5/6) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Cold Resistant Plasteel Armor matches it exactly at 520 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 Plasteel Armor at 539; below it is Lightweight Plasteel Armor at 520.
