Cloak of Starlight: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:27, 23 October 2024

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A phosphorescent cloak, woven of pure light beams. The ripples of its folds as the wearer leaps and swerves in combat may dazzle those who gaze on it.

the +1 cloak of Starlight

+1 cloak
can Dazzle attackers (20% when dodging an attack)
+4 EV
Stealth--

Desirability

The cloak of Starlight^[1] is usually a very competitive piece of equipment. As a +1 cloak with +4 EV, it will be better than a mundane cloak. The *Dazzle effect comes in handy fairly often, especially for evasive characters.

The stealth hit is generally not too painful; usually you either have enough stealth that it doesn't matter, or you aren't using stealth at all. Stabbers might disagree when attempting to take out a sleeping unique, but in other cases the cloak provides a lot of opportunities for low-tier stabs.

History

In 0.26, the cloak got the *Dazzle property and lost rElec and rC+.
Prior to 0.19, the cloak had a +2 enchantment.
Prior to 0.17, the cloak had a +0 enchantment and lesser stealth penalty (Stlth-).
Prior to 0.15, stealth penalty was -30.

-The '''cloak of Starlight''' is a good source of rElec, rC+, and EV, although at the cost of 2 potential AC. The stealth hit is generally not too terrible; usually you either have enough stealth that it doesn't matter, or you aren't using stealth at all. Only stabbers might disagree. Many players are likely to still prefer a [[cloak of preservation]] if they should find one, however.
