Robe of the Archmage — pre-raid BiS mage robe
Robe of the Archmage is a mage-only cloth robe crafted by a tailor. It grants spell damage, intellect and mana — a pre-raid BiS mage robe. On WowX5 x5 you can craft it yourself if you level tailoring.

Robe stats
The robe is built for mage DPS:
| Stat | Role |
|---|---|
| Spell damage | direct DPS gain |
| Intellect | more mana and crit |
| Mana pool | long fights and AoE farming |
Robe of the Archmage binds to the mage and is one of the best pre-raid robes until raid robes from Molten Core/BWL.
Materials and craft
Crafting needs high tailoring and pricey components:
- Mooncloth — made from Felcloth on a cooldown.
- Runecloth, cured hides, valuable components.
- The recipe is obtained/learned by a tailor.
The robe is bind-on-pickup and made only by a mage tailor, so it cannot be bought ready-made.
◆Who wants Robe of the Archmage
- Mage (Frost/Fire/Arcane): a universal DPS robe for any build.
- Mage only: no other class can wear it.
Check the mage BiS and Tier 1 sets — the robe often competes with the Tier 1 chest slot.
How to get it on WowX5 x5
- Level your own tailoring — it is BoP.
- Stockpile Mooncloth early: its craft is on a cooldown.
- Gather the remaining components and weave the robe.
Since Mooncloth is on a cooldown, start banking it while leveling to 60 — you will have a stack ready for the robe at cap.
