Hallowed Plate Mail
Armor · ArmorBody1★[Tides of Terraria] Armor worked from Hallowed Bar. The divine power in it cuts the damage taken from [Tides of Terraria] monsters.
Hallowed Plate Mail is 83rd of 145 body armours by defense, at 260 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, Hallowed Guard, Attack Up (S) Lv. 1, 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.
Details
At 37 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 10,800 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Hallowed Plate Mail
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 chests in the Yakushima at 1.4% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Hallowed Plate Mail
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 200 to 320, 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 Hallowed Plate Mail
Hallowed Plate Mail is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. 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 chests in the Yakushima, 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 Hallowed Plate Mail schematic works out at roughly 1775 containers against the 9091 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.
