The robe of vines increases its wearer's regeneration rate by 280, providing incredible bonus of 2.8 HP per turn.

Desirablility

Due to huge impact on regeneration rate (+2.8 HP every turn), this artefact can be widely used: for speedrun (reducing recovery time after a fight) and for additional survival in battle (works well as long as you walk through main dungeon and Lair). While deep dwarves and bloodless vampires gain no HP regeneration whatsoever from wearing it, vine stalkers only receive the benefits of wearing this item.

History

Prior to 0.18, this robe was +5 and had Regen+10, meaning it gave 4 HP regeneration per turn.

The robe of vines was introduced in version 0.17.
