'''Cloaks''' are pieces of armour that fill the cloak slot. They take 2 turns to equip or remove, and can be [[scroll of enchant armour|enchanted]] up to +2. Cloaks also provide excellent protection against [[acid]]. Normally when you're splashed with acid, the damage you take increases for every empty equipment slot. A cloak, however, reduces the chance of that happening per slot to 50%.

If you are wearing a cloak, it takes an extra four turns to put on or take off [[body armour]]: two to remove the cloak, then take off or put on the armour, then two more to put the cloak back on. This is done automatically by the game when changing armours. To minimize turn count while wear-testing armour, manually remove the cloak first to keep the game from wasting time reequipping it repeatedly. If your cloak is [[curse]]d, you cannot change body armour: you must uncurse it first.

A cloth cloak.

"O Bell my wife, why dost thou flyte?
Now is now, and then was then:
Seek now all the world throughout,
Thou kens not clowns from gentlemen:
They are clad in black, green, yellow and blue,
So far above their own degree.
Once in my life I'll take a view;
For I'll have a new cloak about me."
-Anonymous, "The Old Cloak". 16th Century.

Cloaks are pieces of armour that fill the cloak slot. They take 5 turns to equip or remove, and can be enchanted up to +2. Scarves take the same slot and have useful properties, but provide less physical protection than a cloak; see their article for more details.

Egos

Cloaks can normally have the following egos:

These are only found in Ice Caves and Volcanoes, respectively:

Strategy

Looking for a cloak early on? If you come across (and can kill) Crazy Yiuf, he's guaranteed to come with a cloak. It might even have an ego! Other uniques, including Maurice and Nikola, are also guaranteed to wear cloaks.

If you still need a decent cloak in the late game, the Realm of Zot can be a good place to search. Many draconians will generate with cloaks, increasing your chances of finding one with a decent ego and enchantment.
