Ancient Gold Helmet
Gold armor is the fourth armor set in the game.
It takes a total of (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 75 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 90 Gold Bars to craft a full suit, or (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 300 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 360 Gold Ores.
It consists of a Gold Helmet, Gold Chainmail and Gold Greaves.
The Ancient Gold Helmet is a rare drop from Skeletons in the Underground or can also be obtained from dropping a Gold Helmet into Shimmer, and is functionally identical to the Gold Helmet. The two helmets are interchangeable, with no bonus loss.
A full set grants a basic 13 defense plus a set bonus of 3 defense, which equals a total of 16 defense.

Notes
- The Ancient Gold Helmet has the same sprite that the Gold Helmet had before 1.0.3, thus the term "Ancient".
- The Ancient Gold Helmet is available even if a world generated with Platinum Ore. However, obtaining a Gold armor set to complete its set bonus is much harder in this case.
Tips
- Due to its high ore requirement, it is advisable to skip Gold armor. The next tier of armor is usually available before the player can get enough Gold to craft the armor set.
