Understanding the Robe of the Arcane Cheater Treasure Map Clue

Seek Where a Cheater Concealed Magical Robes

Upon obtaining the treasure map for the Robes of the Arcane Cheater, you’ll discover a note from the original owner of the robes. This individual had planned to use the enchanted item to cheat on exams at Braganhyl. However, the custom robes did not save them from getting caught, ultimately ruining their academic aspirations.

The embarrassment of losing their educational future led the owner to hide the robes somewhere in the desert. The treasure map features an illustration of the Deadfall Highlands, pointing you to where you’ll locate the Robes on your own map. The clues consist of rocky desert terrain and a few plants, with an “X” marking the specific spot.

For those who have searched for Woedica Totems in Avowed or other significant items, recognizing regional landmarks on these treasure maps might come more naturally.

Although deciphering the treasure map at first may seem challenging, there’s an additional hint right in front of you. Just below the “X” is a small water pool, which is unusual for the desert setting of the Deadfall Highlands. This clue helps narrow down your search for the Robes of the Arcane Cheater.

Locating the Robe of the Arcane Cheater Treasure Chest

Explore the Main Oasis in the Desert

The Robe of the Arcane Cheater is hidden in the Ancient Lakebed, the only area in the Deadfall Highlands abundant with water. This location contains several pools, some of which have dried up and are near the rocky hills shown on the treasure map.

Head to the largest lake within the Ancient Lakebed and search for the fungi near the rocky cliffs that correspond to those depicted on the treasure map. On the eastern side of the lake, you should spot a dried pool beside a cliff. This pool is surrounded by fungi, marking the precise location found on the treasure map.

As you approach the cliff next to the dry pool, you’ll observe clusters of blue and purple fungi surrounding a tiny cave entrance. This cave is more visible when viewed from a first-person perspective. Regardless of your approach, venturing into the cave will reveal a treasure chest that contains the Robes of the Arcane Cheater, along with other treasures.

This makes these robes ideal for any Wizard build or spellcaster in Avowed who requires additional Essence to wield their magic. The higher your resource pool for casting spells, the better equipped you are for prolonged battles, which is often a struggle for magical classes. Personally, these robes proved invaluable, significantly enhancing my damage output and providing enough Essence to regularly cast high-cost spells.

Spells like Fan of Flames, Blast, Minor Missiles, and Fireball will experience damage boosts from the effects of the Robes of Surpassing Brilliance.

If you find that you do not need the Robes, you can always sell them for a good price to Ihaka at the Thrifty Pig. Regardless of your character class, pursuing the Robe of the Arcane Cheater’s treasure map in Avowed is definitely worthwhile.
