Baldur’s Gate 3: 7 Best Non-Origin Characters

Fans will meet plenty of non-origin characters throughout their Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough. These are some of the best.

All Clothing has an AC or Armor Class of 10, although some of the strongest have small +1 or +2 buffs. The character’s Dexterity Modifier is also added, and the resulting AC is the number that enemies must roll to hit successfully. This line-up will not only detail the best Clothing in BG3, but it will also reveal where each item can be found.

Updated on April 23, 2024, by Joe Grantham: Game of the Year winner Baldur’s Gate 3 is a massive RPG with hundreds of items that can be found at various stages of the game. With that in mind, this list has been updated to include even more Clothing options. These robes and vests are primarily chosen for their stats and effects, although some players may make an aesthetic choice when choosing their BG3 outfit. While many great general options are strong when worn by any character, some BG3 Clothing items are more niche and only excel as part of specific builds.

11 The Graceful Cloth

Grants Dexterity & Many Other Related Bonuses

• Location: Sold by Lady Esther, Rosymorn Monastery Trail, Act 1.

Any players making use of a Dexterity build in Baldur’s Gate 3, should strongly consider taking the Mountain Path to get an item of Clothing that is useful through all three Acts. The Graceful Cloth not only gives the wearer a bonus to Dexterity Saving Throws and increases their Jump distance, but it also increases their Dexterity stat by 2, a rare bonus to gain. The Cat’s Grace spell is also perfect for when players need to survive a dangerous fall.

Players can purchase The Graceful Cloth from Lady Esther who is found on the mountain trail overlooking Rosymorn Monastery. Players could even quickly visit her and head back if they prefer to take the Underdark passage to Act 2.

10 Viconia’s Priestess Robe

Perfect For Stealth With Surprising Defensive Bonuses

• Location: Belongs to Viconia DeVir, Shar Enclave, Act 3.

Although it is only available later in the game, Viconia’s Priestess Robe is a great option for stealth, but if players have access to the Shield of Faith spell, this Clothing quickly becomes top tier. This is because when the spell is cast, the wearer will also gain a massive +2 to every single type of Saving Throws, meaning they are less likely to be afflicted by all manner of negative effects.

However, as its name suggests, this particular robe belongs to the priestess Viconia DeVir, who is the Mother Superior of the Shar Enclave in Baldur’s Gate. This enclave can be found under the House of Grief in the Lower City and whether players want to try and kill her is up to them, although they may also want to consider Shadowheart’s feelings too.

9 The Mighty Cloth

Grants Strength & Defensive Bonuses

• Location: Bought at the Last Light Inn, Act 2.

The Mighty Cloth is all about taking on the strength of a bull, with many positive effects, and it also grants the wearer a spell and an action. The main boon of this clothing item is the bonus to the Strength stat, which is the primary stat for characters such as Barbarians.

The Bull Rush Action has some great uses for either getting out of sticky situations or pushing enemies off cliffs to die. Incredibly, this item can be picked up fairly early on in the game, at the start of Act 2 as it is sold by Quartermaster Talli at the Last Light Inn.

8 Moon Devotion Robe

Grants Mage Armor & Damages Enemies Who Fail Spells

• Location: Belongs to Isobel, Last Light Inn, Act 1.

Most wizards and sorcerers will want to use Mage Armor to increase their AC to at least 13, and the Moon Devotion Robe grants this for free, allowing these spellcasters to take other spells when leveling up. This item of Clothing also damages enemies when the wearer succeeds Saving Throws with Mage Armor active while providing bonuses to make this more likely.

The following eight spells are ideal for crowd control in Baldur’s Gate 3.

However, to acquire the Moon Devotion Robe, players will have to take them from Isobel, a character who many players will want to keep alive and on their side. She is first found at the Last Light Inn.

7 Bonespike Garb

Improves The Defenses Of Barbarians

• Location: Bought at the Rivington General, Act 3.

One of the best clothing items, specifically for players wanting to create great Barbarian builds, is the Bonespike Garb thanks to the increased HP when Raging. The defensive bonuses are on par with some of the best armor in the game, particularly the consistent reduction of all damage by 2.

Bonespike Garb is only available in Act 3 and can be purchased from the Dragonborn merchant Exxvikyap in the Rivington General. Thankfully this location is accessible right at the start of the third Act.

6 Cloth Of Authority

Provides Protection From Emotion-Altering Effects

• Location: Belongs to Lord Enver Gortash, Wyrm’s Crossing, Act 3.

Cloth of Authority, as the name of the clothing suggests, shows others that its wearer is not to be messed with. It is initially worn by Lord Enver Gortash, and it is he that players must kill in order to get their hands on it.

For gamers who prefer a stealthy play style in Baldur’s Gate 3, these light armor pieces are among the best gear available.

The ability to repel emotion-altering conditions and not be Frightened during combat is severely underrated, as these effects often cause players to skip turns or worse.

5 Infernal Robe

Fire Resistance & A Fire Shield Spell

• Location: Rewarded by Mizora for killing Karlach, Act 1.

If players are facing off against enemies with the best fire spells in Baldur’s Gate 3, and they don’t have proficiency with armor, then the aptly named Infernal Robe will be their best option.

The extra +1 bonus to AC is also appreciated and players will also get a fantastic fire spell for themselves which can be used once per long rest. Unfortunately, the Infernal Robe can only be claimed from Mizora after recruiting Wyll and then killing Karlach.

4 Weavemother’s Robe

Fire & Cold Resistance & Heals In Water

• Location: Complete the Avenged the Drowned quest, Act 3.

The Weavemother’s Robe is one of the best all-around clothing pieces in BG3 as it grants resistance to both Fire and Cold damage. It also comes with its own inbuilt heal as long as players stand in water, which they can create themselves with the help of a spell the robe provides.

To get their hands on the very rare armor piece known as Weavemother’s Robe, players will need to complete the “Avenge the Drowned” quest which can be found in the Lower City in Act 3. To initiate this mission, players need to talk to Allandra Grey at the Water Queen’s House Temple.

3 Vest Of Soul Rejuvenation

Ideal For Monks

• Location: Bought at the Sorcerous Sundries, Lower City, Act 3.

Vest of Soul Rejuvenation has the join highest AC out of all the clothing armor in Baldur’s Gate 3, and it also provides its wearer with small heals upon successful Saving Throws against spells.

For the best defense in Baldur’s Gate 3, players should collect the following most powerful armor in the game.

However, to get to most out of this item, players will want to incorporate it into a Monk build as any enemies that miss can be struck back at with an unarmed attack. Vest of Soul Rejuvenation can be found at the Sorcerous Sundries in the Lower City during Act 3, where it can be bought from either Rolan or Lorroakan’s Projection.

2 Potent Robe

Benefits Characters With High Charisma

• Location: Reward from Alfira for rescuing the Tieflings, Act 2.

Characters that rely on Charisma such as Sorcerers and Bards would be well-pressed to acquire the Potent Robe in Act 2 by rescuing the Tieflings and receiving a reward from Alfira. Saving the Tieflings in Act 2 is also part of one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s hardest achievements, Leave No One Behind, which requires players to keep every single Tiefling alive during all three Acts.

Having a high Charisma Modifier with the Potent Robe equipped will allow players to deal more damage with cantrips and soak more damage with additional temporary HP.

1 Robe Of The Weave

Defenses, Healing, & An Increased Chance For Spells To Hit

• Location: Found in Ramazith’s Tower, Act 3.

Arguably the best clothing item in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the Robe of the Weave, which not only has the joint highest AC of 12 thanks to the +2 bonus, but it also allows players to heal themselves upon succeeding a Saving Throw against any spells in the game.
