Robe of the Archmage Stats and Mana Use
The robe gives Mages spell power, crit, and mana through its Use effect. Its tooltip numbers in Forever have not changed since Classic. But Blizzard has combined spell and attack crit into a single stat in Forever. There are six main lines on the tooltip:
- Intellect +12
- Spell power +40
- Crit +1% for spells and attacks
- Use effect for 375-625 mana
- ilvl 62
- Character level 57
The Use effect restores up to 625 mana once every 5 minutes. We recommend using it during long fights in Onyxia's Lair and Hyjal Summit, along with Evocation and a mana potion. This mana reserve prevents the mage from having unnecessary downtime between pulls.
Robe of the Archmage Pattern for Tailors
The pattern teaches a tailor to craft a BoP robe. This robe stays with the character who crafted it. That's why your character must have Tailoring and this pattern in their recipe book to craft it. You can craft it yourself or have our pilot do it for you.
The robe recipe in Forever requires Bolt of Runecloth, Rune Thread, and essences of the four elements. Blizzard has reduced the quantity of each essence in the recipe from ten to eight. But the Forever recipe also requires an additional ten Viridian Dye. Our team will deliver a full set of reagents to your character with the materials option. You won’t have to farm essences or Runecloth in the open world.
Mage BiS Chest in WoW Forever
The robe was a crafted mage BiS piece back in Classic. Mages value it for its 40 spell power and the mana from its Use effect. We believe that it remains a strong choice for a level 60 mage in World of Warcraft Forever. This makes the mage’s chest slot ready for the Barrow Deeps and Hyjal Summit raids. That's why we recommend that mages buy Robe of the Archmage before their first raid.
