Robe of Vines

Version 0.18: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A robe of woven, growing vines. The vines' rapid growth seems to be conveyed to the wearer, but they also prevent the wearer from being healed by potions and wands.

The robe of vines increases its wearer's regeneration rate by 400, providing incredible bonus to HP recovery rate of your character. Unlike amulet of regeneration or troll leather armour, this healing doesnt affect your metabolism.

Desirablility

Due to huge impact on regeneration rate (+4 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 granted slightly more regeneration.

The robe of vines was introduced in version 0.17.
