The '''robe of vines''' increases its wearer's [[regeneration rate]] by 280, providing an incredible bonus of 2.8 HP per turn. Due to its huge impact on your regeneration rate, this artefact can be extremely useful for recovering HP quickly. This can be especially handy for those attempting speedruns, but even a casual run can make good use of the robe for post-battle healing. If you are going to be changing in and out of the robe, just make sure to do so somewhere safe so you aren't caught with your proverbial pants down.

The robe of Vines increases its wearer's regeneration rate by an amount equivalent to 7 amulets of regeneration, providing an incredible bonus of 2.8 HP per turn. This artefact can be extremely useful for recovering HP quickly. Note that, unlike an amulet of regeneration which only kicks in after the wearer first attains full health, the healing effect of this garment is immediate upon being equipped.

While the robe can provide survivability during battle, a robe with an ego like resistance or Archmagi may be better for general use depending on your character. Alternatively, a set of heavier armour and a solid array of resistances can reduce incoming damage enough to make your base regeneration rate perfectly acceptable, though even then the robe can still be useful to carry around for a quick heal.

Deep dwarves do not regenerate and gain no benefit whatsoever from wearing the robe of Vines, and ghouls and bloodless vampires can only benefit from the robe if there are no monsters in sight. Vine stalkers, mummies, and lichform characters, on the other hand, can freely wear this item with no drawbacks since they cannot recover HP with potions to begin with.

History

  • Prior to 0.18, this robe was +5 and Regen+10 (that is, a +4 HP per turn regeneration rate).
  • The robe of Vines was introduced in version 0.17.
