Cloaks are pieces of armour that fill the cloak slot. They take 5 turns to equip or remove, and can be enchanted up to +2. Scarves take the same slot and have useful properties, but provide less physical protection than a cloak; see their article for more details.
Egos
Cloaks can normally have the following egos:
- Poison resistance: Grants poison resistance
- Magic resistance: Grants +40 magic resistance
- Invisibility: Evoke to become invisible
These are only found in Ice Caves and Volcanoes, respectively:
- Cold resistance: Grants cold resistance
- Fire resistance: Grants fire resistance
Strategy
Looking for a cloak early on? If you come across (and can kill) Crazy Yiuf, he's guaranteed to come with a cloak. It might even have an ego! Other uniques, including Maurice and Nikola, are also guaranteed to wear cloaks.
If you still need a decent cloak in the late game, the Realm of Zot can be a good place to search. Many draconians will generate with cloaks, increasing your chances of finding one with a decent ego and enchantment.
History
- In 0.25, cloaks will no longer generate with invisibility, but may generate with stealth or preservation.
- Scarves were added in 0.20.
- Prior to 0.17, all cloaks provided some protection against acid.
- Prior to 0.16, the invisibility ego was called the Darkness ego.
- Prior to 0.15, the preservation ego could be found on cloaks. This ego was removed along with item destruction and permanent corrosion effects.
- Prior to 0.14, racial variant cloaks existed. Also, wearing a cloak meant you had to take it off in order to change body armour; among other things, this meant that wearing a cursed cloak prevented you from taking off your body armour.
