The Legendary Cold Resistant Metal Armor is the top-tier version of the standard Cold Resistant Metal Armor in Palworld, and it exists only if you have the matching schematic sitting in your inventory. Unlike some cold-weather gear that drops straight from a specific Alpha boss, this one comes from loot containers, which makes it more about patience than about beating a single fight.
Quick answer: The Legendary Cold Resistant Metal Armor Schematic drops from Treasure Boxes and Treasure Maps. The known chest sources are Level 29 Dungeon end rewards at roughly 0.03% and Wildlife Sanctuary chests at roughly 0.015%. Keep the schematic in your inventory and you can craft the Legendary armor at a supported workbench.
Where the Legendary Cold Resistant Metal Armor Schematic drops
There is no boss that reliably hands you this schematic. It shows up inside certain Treasure Boxes and through Treasure Maps, and the drop rates are very low, so expect to open a lot of chests before it appears. Treasure Maps point you to a marked spot on your map, but the same low odds apply, meaning you may pull a different item instead.
| Source | Approx. drop rate |
|---|---|
| Level 29 Dungeon end reward chest | 0.03% |
| Wildlife Sanctuary chest | 0.015% |
| Treasure Map reward | Low (varies) |
Note: Once the schematic is in your bag, it stays active as long as you keep it there. Drop it or lose it and the Legendary recipe disappears from the crafting menu.
Crafting materials and workbenches
The Legendary build uses more resources than the common version, and it needs Ancient Civilization Parts, so plan on farming some higher-end materials before you sit down to craft.
| Item | Materials |
|---|---|
 Legendary Cold Resistant Metal Armor | Ingot x80 Leather x26 Cloth x16 Ice Organ x16 Ancient Civilization Parts x2 |
You can build it at any of the following stations once the schematic and materials are ready:
- High-Quality Workbench
- Production Assembly Line
- Production Assembly Line II
- Advanced Workshop
- Ancient Workbench
Passive effects
Beyond raw defense, the Legendary version carries a stack of passives that make it useful well outside of frozen zones. It keeps the same climate protection while adding an attack boost.
- Cold Resistance Lv. 2
- Heat Resistance Lv. 1
- Ice Damage Reduction Lv. 1
- Attack Up (S) Lv. 4
Legendary vs common stats
Every core stat improves over the common Cold Resistant Metal Armor, so the schematic is a straight upgrade with no trade-offs. Durability sees the biggest jump, which means the Legendary set holds up far longer between repairs.
| Stat | Legendary | Common |
|---|---|---|
| Defense | 168 | 105 |
| HP | 400 | 250 |
| Durability | 5,600 | 700 |
You will know the craft worked when the item shows Legendary rarity in the workbench menu and lists the higher defense, HP, and durability values above. If the Legendary option is greyed out or missing, the schematic is not in your inventory, or you are short on one of the required materials.
