Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor
Armor · ArmorBody4★An upgrade to Pal Metal Armor, with heat resistance to match.
Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor is 61st of 145 body armours by defense, at 400 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. 4, 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
At 40 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 140,930 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 1.7% 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.
| Rarity | Item | Defense | HP | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor | 250 | 750 | 10000 |
| 1★ | Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor | 325 | 975 | 15000 |
| 2★ | Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor | 350 | 1050 | 20000 |
| 3★ | Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor | 375 | 1125 | 30000 |
| 4★ | Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor (this one) | 400 | 1200 | 40000 |
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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Heat Resistant Pal Metal Armor Schematic 4 | 4★ | Treasure map digs (tier 3), Snowfields sea base camp stashes, Sakurajima camp loot +5 more — best 1.7% (grade 5/6) · Supply drops in the Snowfields (0.08%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Cold Resistant Pal Metal Armor matches it exactly at 400 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 500; below it is Cold Resistant Plasteel Armor at 400.
