Lightweight Hexolite Armor

Details

At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 578,780 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Crafting it takes 178 materials across 5 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 125× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Lightweight Hexolite 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 crates on the large oil rig at 1.6% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Every Tier of Lightweight Hexolite Armor

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 600 to 780, 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.

Schematics That Unlock Lightweight Hexolite Armor

The Technology tree hands you the plain Lightweight Hexolite Armor at level 65 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. Two routes to the top-tier Lightweight Hexolite Armor schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from paladius (alpha), or roughly 70 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Feybreak and fusing five. Which is faster depends on how long one of each takes you. 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Heat Resistant Hexolite Armor matches it exactly at 660 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 Lightweight Hexolite Armor at 690; below it is Cold Resistant Plasteel Armor at 640.
