-'''Preservation''' is an [[ego]] found on [[cloak]]s which grants resistance to [[acid]] and its [[corrosion|corrosive]] effects. Although unimpressive early on, this ego is useful for fighting the occasional monster with acidic attacks like [[deep elf sorcerer]]s or [[yellow draconian]]s, and is especially helpful in late-game areas where acidic attacks are commonplace like the [[Slime Pits]].

 A cloak of preservation is good for rounding out your list of resistances, but a [[ring of resist corrosion]] or a [[potion of resistance]] will do the trick just as well. Many characters may wish to use a cloak with a more broadly useful ego like [[willpower]], if they've found one.

 '''Preservation''' is an [[ego]] which grants you both the [[conservation]] and [[resist corrosion]] [[intrinsic]]s, as well as one rank of [[acid]] resistance. Although unimpressive early on, this ego is extremely useful in much of the late game where [[fire]], [[cold]], and acidic attacks are commonplace. These areas also have many sources of [[mutation]], and as the most common defense against these is the [[amulet of resist mutation]], having a cloak-slot item that duplicates two other useful amulets is extremely helpful. Even so, consider replacing it with something else when attempting [[branch]]es which pose little risk to your items, such as [[the Crypt]] or [[the Tomb]].
