Master Armor
Master Armor is the best armor: it takes 4 off every hit you take in battle, enough that the commonest zombies, which hit for 4, cannot hurt you at all. You forge it at the Steel Anvil from a Tannin Liquid, 4 Steel Details and 6 Fabric, with Smithing mastery 15, after Masterwork Equipment (200 red, 25 blue), which also gives the Master Sword.
No trader sells it. Tannin Liquid is an alchemy result that takes three ingredients, so it needs the three-slot Laboratory II.

Notes
- It is light on steel. Its 4 Steel Details come from a single Steel Ingot; the Master Sword takes 3 ingots on top of its 4 details.
- Studying it costs 15 Science and gives 150 red and 40 blue, as much red as any study.
