Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor

Armor · ArmorBody3

An upgrade to Pal Metal Armor, with heat resistance to match.

Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor is 67th of 145 body armours by defense, at 375 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.

Wearing it also carries the effects Heat Resistance Lv. 2, Cold Resistance Lv. 1, 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.

It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.

At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 121,200 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Heat Resistant Pal Metal 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 treasure map digs (tier 3) at 4.3% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Every Tier of Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 250 to 400, 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 Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor

The Technology tree hands you the plain Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor at level 48 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 treasure map digs (tier 3), 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 Pal Metal Armor schematic works out at roughly 33 containers against the 59 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Cold Resistant Pal Metal Armor matches it exactly at 375 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 385; below it is Pal Metal Armor at 352.
