In the game
How to get it
Gold ingots in the armor shapes: helmet 5, chestplate 8, leggings 7, boots 4 (24 ingots the set).
What it is for
Takes 40 % of the blows of creatures, players, arrows, fire and lava for the whole set; it slows you a little for its weight.
Why it exists
Show what you found deep down -- but iron protects better for less weight.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Gold armor: heavy, soft and engraved, with a ruby: the heaviest set, worn for its look more than its strength.
Recipe
Gold ingots in the four armor shapes: helmet 5, chestplate 8, leggings 7, boots 4 -- 24 ingots for the set. The shapes are those of Hide armor.
