Robe of Night

Version 0.24: 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 line of sight reduction (reduced by 2 tiles; 3 with Darkness active) makes this item useful for stabbers. As with the robe of Augmentation, many players may prefer something which gives elemental resistances in their armour slot, though the bonus MR and free SInv are always welcome.
