The '''platinum mail''' is a recurring suit of armour in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a beautiful suit of silver and gold armour that offers its wearer protection from magic damage, and is often the direct upgrade to the [[Magic armor]].

==={{DQ6}}===

This armor may be won in either the [[Port Haven]] or [[Turnscote]] casinos, and can be found in Howcastle behind a door that requires the [[Ultimate Key]]. It provides +66 defense, +51 style, and negates 15 points of magical damage from all non-Zap spells. It can be worn by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]], [[Terry]], [[Carver]], [[Lizzie]], [[Amos]], and [[Goowain]].

*The [[Dragon shield]] is also available in the aforementioned casinos, and can be equipped along with the platinum mail by most characters. This makes the battle with [[Murdaw]] significantly easier and is a popular strategy for low-level playthroughs.

==={{DQ7}}===

The platinum mail has a defence bonus of +63, a style bonus of +51, and reduces damage from all non-Zap spells by 20. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]] and [[Aishe]] and is acquired if a male character wins the Best Dressed Contest for the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]] in [[El Ciclo]]. It can be sold for 4,750 gold.

==={{DQ8}}===

The platinum mail has a defence bonus of +72 and magical protection has returned to 15 points. Only the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] and [[Angelo]] can wear it. It can be made in the [[Alchemy Pot]] or dropped by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|Hell's gatekeeper]]s in the PS2 version. It can be sold for 4,900 gold.
