Tier
Highest pre-Mistlands

Padded Armor is the top armor tier before the Mistlands. It is crafted from Iron and Linen Thread, which you make from Flax grown in the Plains and spun at a Spinning Wheel.

When to Build It

You need a Spinning Wheel (from Moder's Dragon Tears) and a Plains foothold to farm Flax, so Padded is a Plains-era upgrade. Once you have it, it is the best protection available until Mistlands Carapace gear.

Intel

Padded has no elemental bonus, so keep a set of Wolf armor or Frost meads for cold Mountain trips.
