Metal Armor
Tech Level 23. Midgame body armor forged from metal with enough padding to hold both Cold Resistance Lv1 and Heat Resistance Lv1. Defense sits near 70, so it is the solid plate step after Cloth Outfit and Pelt Armor when you need one suit for mixed climates.
Recipe: Ingot ×30 + Leather ×10 + Cloth ×5. Craft on your armor workbench path once smelters and ranch leather are steady. Park Ingot stacks beside leather and cloth crates so unlock night is forge-and-equip. Thirty Ingot is the heavy sink, so keep ore flowing before you plan a full squad of metal suits.
Wear Metal Armor for tower climbs, desert-to-snow travel, and boss nights where Defense plus both climate resists matter more than light cloth mobility. Pair it with Metal Helm the same week so the head slot is not left bare. Grab Heat Resistant Metal Armor or Cold Resistant Metal Armor when one biome chews through plain metal, then swap up to Refined Metal Armor when refined smelting is online. Figures are for Palworld 1.0.5; recheck Tech level, craft counts, Defense, and Cold/Heat Res levels in game after a later patch.
