LIKE A DRAGON: ISHIN! ARMOR CRAFTING: EVERY BREASTPLATE RECIPE

LIKE A DRAGON: ISHIN! ARMOR CRAFTING: EVERY BREASTPLATE RECIPE This is the complete 11-recipe breastplate tree in the 2023 remake. Leather Breastplate is the starting item. Buy one for 1,000 mon from the Rakugai Arms Dealer from Chapter 5, or look for it in Battle Dungeon 1-3. Each entry consumes one named base plus the listed materials and a hammer. Fees are undiscounted mon for that step only. Open recipes have no variant gate; A requires smithy level 5 and B requires level 10. Defense values are for Dull grade. The Loincloth is separate from this crafting tree. It has 150 base defense and is obtainable from the Chapter 2 boss and equipment sellers. You do not turn it into Leather Breastplate. 01.

Iron leads toward Purgatory or Furinkazan; Fighter's Binding leads toward Brawler's Binding or Celestial Garb. Crafting a final piece uses up the intermediate armor, so make another copy if you still need its other destination. For a general defensive build, compare the finished armor's actual grade, effects and room for Seals. The largest base defense number is useful, but it does not tell you how well a piece fits your other equipment. Do the cheap shared steps first if you are filling gaps in the crafting list. Leave enough materials and money for the final steps rather than spending your whole budget on one attractive piece and having to rebuild its branch later.
