Crafting Antique Armor and Upgrading Your Weapons

Farming Strange Alloy from Possessed Armor

To craft an Antique armor set, you first need to gather Strange Alloy. This material is not mined underground; instead, it drops from a hostile mob called the Possessed Armor, which appears as a haunted suit of knight armor wielding a sword. Prepare for a tough melee fight before engaging one—bring a vanilla Shield to block its sword strikes and wear your strongest current gear. Defeat every Possessed Armor you encounter and collect the Strange Alloy it drops until you have enough material to forge your upgrades.

Crafting the Set and Choosing Weapons

Take your collected Strange Alloy to a Crafting Table and check your Recipe Book to view the crafting patterns for the Antique armor set. Craft the individual armor pieces and equip them in your inventory to boost your defense against the sinister entities roaming the world. To round out your combat loadout, work toward acquiring new specialized weapons. You can pursue the Scorpion Sword for close-quarters melee fights, or seek out the Frost Bow if you prefer ranged combat. Unlike a standard vanilla bow, the Frost Bow is built for rapid-fire arrow shooting, letting you quickly pepper approaching monsters with arrows before they reach melee range.
