Smelting lead bars and full suit defense bonuses
Crafted at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil using 20 Lead Bar ingots, Lead Greaves grant 2 defense to the player's leg armor slot. Pairing these greaves with a Lead Helmet and Lead Chainmail forms the complete heavy metal suit, unlocking a set bonus of +3 defense. Altogether, the full ensemble reaches 11 defense, establishing superior physical shielding for subterranean cave exploration.
Metal tier comparisons and early mining investment
Compared to the alternate Iron Greaves from iron worlds, Lead Greaves contribute toward higher overall armor mitigation due to the +3 defense set bonus of the lead tier. Fashioning the leggings requires 20 bars, identical in ore cost to crafting several early tools. Players prioritizing defense before fighting the Eye of Cthulhu benefit from securing this piece ahead of lighter copper or wooden alternatives.
Trivia
- The full Lead armor outfit delivers 11 total defense, outpacing the 9 defense granted by an equivalent Iron set.
- Selling these greaves to any town merchant returns 12 silver.
