The Potent Robe is a Very Rare Clothing equipment in Baldur’s Gate 3 that has become popular due to the bonuses it provides spellcasters.
With this piece of clothing, your spellcaster will benefit from dealing additional cantrip damage, as well as gaining additional hit points.
Characters with charisma will benefit a lot from the effects of this robe and once you reach Act II, grabbing it may be one of the best choices you make at the time.
Where To Get Potent Robe?
The Potent Robe is received later as a reward from Alfira, who was recently separated from the group of Tieflings who were making their way to Baldur’s Gate.
You will find Alfira at the Last Light Inn, who you may speak with to get the Rescue The Tieflings quest, which takes place in the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
How To Get Potent Robe?
Once you get the Rescue the Tieflings quest, you will need to head over to Moonrise Towers to free the Tieflings who have been trapped along with the Grymforge Gnomes.
You can do this by getting Wulbren’s Hammer from the room where The Warden is found and bringing it back to him so he can break out and help the Tieflings.
Escorting them to boats nearby will allow you to join as they escape or you can meet them back at the Last Light Inn, where you may speak to Alifra or Lakrissa to get your rewards.
Potent Robe Features
Gregarious Caster
Cantrips that you cast will deal additional damage that is equal to your Charisma Modifier, which helps deal more damage if you often cast Cantrips in a battle.
This also helps when damaging certain objects and has been quite popular with those who love to mine in the Underdark using Eldritch Blast.
Well-Liked and Well-Fortified
At the start of the wearer’s turn, the Potent Robe activates, which provides temporary hit points that are equal to the character’s Charisma Modifier.
Since most would consider spellcasters to be glass cannons, this provides a good amount of survivability in a fight thanks to the additional hit points provided.
Verdict
If you tend to spam your Cantrips from time to time, the Potent Robe can be one of the best items that your spellcasters can wear.
The additional damage based on your character’s Charisma Modifier can be extremely useful, especially if you have a build or items that provide you with additional Charisma.
Completing the Rescue The Tieflings quest will require that you make your way to the Moonrise Towers, which may also have you obtaining the Moonlantern before completing it.
