Orichalcum Breastplate

Forging the orichalcum plate cuirass

Shaped from 24 Orichalcum Bar ingots at an advanced anvil station, this breastplate confers 13 defense. Its passive effect grants a 6% boost to critical strike chance that applies universally across all weapon disciplines, enhancing melee, ranged, and magic strikes equally. Smelting the required ingots demands 96 units of raw orichalcum ore mined from caverns using a drill or pickaxe.

Enabling piercing petal storms against swarms

Combining this cuirass with Orichalcum Leggings and an orichalcum helmet activates the petal barrage set bonus. The resulting piercing petals slice through entire formations of enemies, making this suit competitive even against Tier 3 alternatives during the battle against The Destroyer. The universal critical bonus reliably boosts the damage of the proc petals as well as standard weapon strikes across long engagements.
