The Legendary Refined Metal Armor is the top-rarity version of Refined Metal Armor in Palworld, and it lands a real jump in defense, HP, and durability over the standard piece. Unlike most gear that pours out of alpha bosses, this schematic has no boss on its loot table. You pull it from chests and maps instead.
Quick answer: Farm the Legendary Refined Metal Armor Schematic from Treasure Maps and dungeon Treasure Boxes, or craft it at the Drafting Table using five Epic (rank 3) Refined Metal Armor schematics. Keep the schematic in your inventory and craft the armor at a Production Assembly Line.
Where the Legendary Refined Metal Armor Schematic drops
This schematic comes from Treasure Boxes and Treasure Maps, and the odds are low across the board. Treasure Maps carry the best single chance, so following the marked location on your map is the fastest reliable route. Dungeon chests work too, but expect several runs before one appears.
| Source | Approximate drop rate |
|---|---|
| Treasure Map (tier 02) | 1.14% |
| Mount Obsidian & Desert Dungeon chests | 0.24% |
| Volcano Dungeon chest | 0.114% |
| Sakurajima Treasure (NPC) | 0.111% |
| Desert Dungeon Treasure Box | 0.092% |
Note: The schematic itself sells for 10,000 Gold Coins and stacks up to 9,999, so any duplicates you find have value even after you have crafted the armor.
Craft the schematic instead of grinding drops
If you already have lower-rarity blueprints, you can skip the random drops entirely. The Drafting Table lets you convert five Epic (rank 3) Refined Metal Armor schematics into one Legendary (rank 4) schematic. This is the most predictable way to guarantee the upgrade rather than rolling repeated chests.
Legendary Refined Metal Armor crafting requirements
Once the schematic is in your inventory, the recipe unlocks automatically. You can build it at a Production Assembly Line, Production Assembly Line II, Advanced Workshop, or Ancient Workbench.
| Item | Materials |
|---|---|
 Legendary Refined Metal Armor | Refined Ingot x60 Leather x30 Ancient Civilization Parts x6 High Quality Cloth x4 |
The equipped effect is Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, and Attack Up (S) Lv. 4. That combination of mild climate protection plus an attack bonus is what separates it from resistance-focused armor lines.
Legendary vs. regular stats
Every core stat improves on the Legendary version, so it is a straight upgrade over the standard Refined Metal Armor with no trade-offs.
| Stat | Legendary | Regular |
|---|---|---|
| Defense | 240 | 150 |
| HP | 800 | 500 |
| Durability | 7,000 | 1,500 |
The durability jump is the standout change. At 7,000 it lasts far longer between repairs than the standard piece, which matters most during extended fights and long expeditions.
How to confirm it worked
When the Legendary schematic is in your inventory, the Legendary Refined Metal Armor recipe becomes selectable at any of the listed workbenches. If the recipe does not appear, the schematic is either missing or you are standing at a bench that isn’t one of the four supported stations. Gather Refined Ingot x60, Leather x30, Ancient Civilization Parts x6, and High Quality Cloth x4, and the craft will complete once all four materials are present.
