The Beetle Armor is an end-game Armor that provides melee bonuses and plenty of defense. It currently has the second best defense in the game, Solar Flare Armor having 5 more defense. It is crafted with Turtle Armor and Beetle husks. The full set bonus depends on which chest piece is worn: Beetle Scale Mail giving up to 30% increased melee attack speed and damage, and Beetle Shell giving up to 45% reduced taken damage. There is no difference in appearance of the armor by gender. But there is a bit difference on the chest pieces, as the Beetle Shell shows a shell (hiding any wings much like the Turtle Armor) and the Beetle Scale Mail does not.

Crafting[]

Beetle Armor is crafted with full Turtle Armor and some Beetle husks, which are dropped by the Golem.

Trivia[]

  • Some may question why the Beetle Armor is stronger than Turtle Armor: Turtle shells are made mostly of calcium (aided by some keratin scales) making it extremely hard but easier to break; on the other hand the carapace of beetles is a mix of chitin and keratin making it extremely hard but also flexible, so it's harder to break. Therefore, if a beetle would be the size of a turtle, it would have stronger armor.
