Robe of Night

Version 0.20: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A long black robe made of strange glossy material. It shrouds its wearer in darkness, reducing the range of vision. According to legend, it was the gift of Ratri the Goddess of the Night to one of her followers.

Desirability

The robe of Night's bonus to stealth, invisibility, and line of sight reduction by 2 makes this item useful for stabbers, though as with the robe of Augmentation, many players may prefer something which gives elemental resistances in their armour slot. The see invisible and magic resistance it offers makes it useful in the Elven Halls, where monsters use dangerous Hexes against you and often become invisible.

History

Prior to 0.19, the robe granted ability to turn invisible and a +50 Stealth bonus.

Prior to 0.12, the robe of Night did not grant a passive Darkness effect.
