To craft a full set of Platinum armor in Terraria, you will need a total of 90 Platinum bars. Each piece of the armor set requires 30 Platinum bars, which can be obtained by smelting Platinum ore in a Furnace or an upgraded version such as the Hellforge.
Gathering enough Platinum ore to smelt into bars can be a time-consuming task. Platinum ore is typically found in the Underground and Cavern layers of the world, and it has a moderate spawn rate. It is often found in clusters or veins, similar to other ores in the game.
To efficiently gather Platinum ore, you can explore caves, dig tunnels, or use explosives to uncover hidden ore deposits. It is also helpful to use a Spelunker Potion or the Spelunker buff from accessories like the Mining Helmet to easily spot Platinum ore’s distinctive color.
Once you have collected enough Platinum ore, head back to your base and smelt it into bars using a Furnace or Hellforge. The amount of ore required to craft a full set of armor can vary depending on the size of your world and your luck in finding Platinum ore deposits.
After obtaining the necessary 90 Platinum bars, you can begin crafting your Platinum armor set. The set consists of three pieces: the Platinum Helmet, the Platinum Chainmail, and the Platinum Greaves.
To craft each piece, you will need 20 Platinum bars. Simply open your crafting menu, select the armor piece you want to craft, and use the required amount of Platinum bars to create it. Repeat this process for the other two pieces until you have a complete set of Platinum armor.
Once you have equipped the full set of Platinum armor, you will gain a total of 20 defense, with each individual piece providing 4 defense. This makes Platinum armor noticeably stronger than Gold armor, which provides a total of 16 defense.
Obtaining a full set of Platinum armor in Terraria requires 90 Platinum bars, which can be obtained by smelting Platinum ore. It may take some time and effort to gather enough Platinum ore, but the increased defense provided by the Platinum armor set makes it a worthwhile investment in your character’s survival.
