Assembling dense tungsten links into chest protection
Crafted from 25 Tungsten Bar ingots at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, Tungsten Chainmail grants 5 defense. Smelting these ingots demands 100 units of raw Tungsten Ore gathered throughout underground layers. Donning this chainmail with Tungsten Helmet and Tungsten Greaves engages a set bonus providing 3 extra defense, yielding 15 total defense across the complete armor set.
Efficiency compared to silver and gold alternatives
Tungsten Chainmail delivers 5 defense, matching Gold Chainmail despite requiring 5 fewer bars to manufacture. It distinctly outperforms its tier counterpart, Silver Chainmail, which provides only 4 defense. Because tungsten veins are plentiful in worlds where they generate, crafting this chestpiece is an economical way to secure high early armor before challenging the Eye of Cthulhu or descending into subterranean marble and granite biomes.
Trivia
- Tungsten Chainmail provides 5 defense, matching the protection of Gold Chainmail at a lower bar cost.
- Smelting the 25 bars needed for this torso piece requires 100 raw tungsten ore units.
