Version 0.33: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A silk robe, woven with enchantments to enhance the wearer's physical and mental abilities.

the +4 robe of Augmentation

+4 strength
+4 intelligence
+4 dexterity

Desirability

The robe of Augmentation^[1] provides decent defense for a robe and a few stat boosts. It best fits dexterity- and Dodging-reliant characters, with casters also able to find value in this item. However, the properties are not especially good; characters may prefer to wear randart armour and/or heavier armour.

This artefact is more likely to spawn in the early game, where it is more likely to be useful (and less likely for alternatives to be found).

History

This item was made more explicitly likely to spawn in the early-game in 0.28.

While the stats are helpful, for most characters, they aren't ''that'' impactful. Any character may prefer an armour with higher defense and/or resistances. Casters in particular will likely prefer a [[robe of the Archmagi]], for its larger spellpower boost. In any case, it's better than plain robes and [[ring mail]]s.

-Dexterity/[[Dodging]]-focused characters arguably get the most from this robe, due to how dexterity scales. The higher your Dodging skill, the more EV you get per point of dexterity. A character with 25 Dodging will get +4 EV, in addition to extra [[SH]] and weapon damage. That being said, by the time you reach 25 Dodging, you might find a [[randart]] with better stats.
