Due to its huge impact on your regeneration rate, this artefact can be extremely useful for recovering HP quickly. This can be especially useful for those attempting speedruns, but even a casual run can make good use of the robe for post-battle healing. If you are going to be changing in and out of the robe, just make sure to do so somewhere safe so you aren't caught with your proverbial pants down.

Desirablility

The robe of Vines[1] increases its wearer's regeneration rate by an amount equivalent to 4 amulets of regeneration, providing an incredible bonus of 3.2 HP per turn. Like other wearable sources of regeneration, it must attune to the wearer at full health before it can function, preventing it from being used to quickly restore HP after a fight.

While the robe can provide survivability during battle, a robe with an ego like resistance or Archmagi may be better for general use depending on your character. Alternatively, a set of heavier armour and a solid array of resistances can reduce incoming damage enough to make your base regeneration rate perfectly adequate for survival.

Inhibited Regeneration (inherent to Ghouls and bloodless Vampires) prevents this regeneration when monsters are in sight. Meanwhile, Vine Stalkers, Mummies, and Death Form characters cannot recover HP with potions anyways, and can wear this robe with no drawback. Djinn may particularly appreciate this robe, as it provides plenty of HP to fuel their spellcasting.
