Ancestral robes | OSRS Index

Ancestral robes can be obtained as rare drops from the Chambers of Xeric. Equipping the robes requires level 75 Magic and 65 Defence.

They are the best-in-slot robes for general magic use (i.e. powered staves and standard spellbook spells), as they possess the highest magic damage bonus and are tied with Virtus robes for the highest magic accuracy bonus. However, when casting Ancient Magicks, their magic damage bonus is surpassed by Virtus robes, making Ancestral inferior when barraging monsters. Ancestral robes do not degrade in combat.

The robes can be stored in the magic wardrobe of a player-owned house costume room.

The robes can be recoloured using a Twisted ancestral colour kit, which may be obtained from completing a Chambers of Xeric raid in Challenge Mode. It is no different from normal Ancestral robes aside from appearance and becoming untradeable.
