The dark robe is a recurring piece of clothing in the Dragon Quest franchise. It's a special cape with a midnight blue dye, and is typically worn by thieves and allows them to blend in with the shadows, increasing evasion.

Appearances

Dragon Quest III

The dark robe has a defence bonus of +74 and increases evasion by 25%. It only appears in the remakes and can be equipped by Martial Artists, Gadabouts, and Thieves. One may be found in Cantlin and another in the fourth Treasures n' Trapdoors track in Kol. The dark robe can be sold for 12,375 gold, but it is not recommended to do so as there is a limited amount in the game.

The dark robe is the second tier of the Velvet cape line of cowls, and the first in the set to demonstrate the series' proficiency at dodging enemy strikes, much like a bat in the night.
