Tips

• It may be preferable to skip this armor set and go for Meteor, Shadow, Crimson, Jungle, or Hellstone armors instead because of how expensive the Platinum armor is to craft.

Trivia

• While the Tin, Lead, and Tungsten armors closely resemble their ore counterparts, the Platinum Helmet is more similar in design to the Ancient Gold Helmet.
