Crafting a full set with one headpiece requires a total of 45 Mythril Bars (180 Mythril Ore). Crafting all five pieces requires a total of 65 Mythril Bars (260 Mythril Ore).

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Orichalcum armor.

Trivia

  • Mithril is a fictional metal in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth writings, where it is a rare and high-quality material used for weapons and armor, and a shirt of mithril chainmail is a significant artifact in these writings. It has since become a widely used material in fantasy works, often under a minor alternate spelling such as "mythril".
  • The Mythril armor set with Mythril Helmet provides the highest melee damage increase out of any armor set available pre-mechanical bosses. However, this comes at a cost of significantly lower defense compared to other sets.
