Mythril armor

Mythril armor is an armor which requires Mythril Bars and must be crafted at a Mythril Anvil. Like all Hardmode-material armors, the Mythril armor has three different headgear/helmet options, allowing players to focus on magical, melee or ranged combat, and each option changes the set bonus. The armor set is also able to provide some lighting, even when worn in the vanity slot.

Trivia

 * The Mythril Armor sparkling effect may be a reference to The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, in which, mithril - when exposed to light - has a similar light producing effect.
 * The name of Mythril Armor is different than the actual metal from "The Lord of the Rings," where it is spelled "mithril," not "mythril."


 * The lighting effect is only effective when the player is standing still (the sparkles still light up, but provide very little light).


 * Mythril armor - along with the other hardmode armors - seem to cost less to make than pre-hardmode armors. Iron costs 75 bars for an entire set, while Mythril only costs 45 for an entire set with one helmet. This may be due to the fact that mythril is harder to obtain.
