How to Craft Padded Armor

Crafting Padded Armor will require almost 100 upgraded individual units. Players should also have defeated the fourth boss, Moder, and use the Dragon Tears dropped from the Moder to craft an Artisan Table with which players can create a spinning wheel, which requires 20 Fine Wood, 10 Iron Nails forged from Iron Ingots and 5 Leather Scraps to be built. This spinning wheel will help players generate Linen Thread by spinning Flax.

Flax is a rare item, and it can be found exclusively in the plains biome, in the Fuling villages. We recommend planting more spinning wheels to increase the production of Linen Thread. After collecting all the required items, you will have to craft the Padded Armor.

While Linen Thread is essential, other materials are necessary for crafting Padded Armor, namely Iron and Silver. Smelt Scrap Iron to procure Iron, and brave the cold Mountain biome to mine Silver Veins.

With all materials in hand, approach the Forge to craft your Padded Armor pieces. The set includes the Padded Helmet, Padded Cuirass, Padded Greaves, and the Linen Cape, crafted at a Workbench. Here’s what you’ll need for each piece:

  • Padded Helmet: 15 Linen Thread, 10 Iron.
  • Padded Cuirass: 20 Linen Thread, 10 Iron.
  • Padded Greaves: 20 Linen Thread, 10 Iron.
  • Linen Cape: 20 Linen Thread, 1 Silver.

From the above-mentioned items, only the Linen Cape can be crafted on the workbench while the other items are made in a Forge. All the items in the Padded Armor set can be upgraded to level 4 each, which maximizes their durability and armor score as a whole. As the Helmet, Cuirass, and Grieves are crafted in a Forge, they require Iron, and the Cape requires a lot of Linen Thread.
