The Best Armor For Wyll In Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG, and players can choose to equip a variety of armor and weaponry as part of the customization process. Not all classes can wear armor, depending on the Feats and race of the character, and many of the armor pieces also have specific buffs for skills and ability scores.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Best Feats For Sorcerers, Ranked

From Actor to Magic Initiate, there is a bounty of solid feats to choose from for Sorcerers in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Warlocks combine spellcasting and physical melee damage, often with a finesse weapon, but can only wear light armor. Unless Tav or Durge is a Warlock, Wyll is the only one who can be recruited as a Companion, these are by far the best pieces of armor for The Blade of Frontiers to wear in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Updated February 7, 2025, by Kristy Ambrose: Larian Studios is putting some finishing touches on BG3 before they move on, and Patch 8 includes a ew extra details for the Warlock class. The Hexblade subclass is one of the new character creation options, and it makes the melee build for Wyll even more interesting, adding skills like Hex Warrior and Hexblade Curse. This subclass can also wear medium armor, making the magic class, which can also be a decent melee unit, even better.

Wavemother’s Robe

Complete “Avenge The Drowned” In Act Three

While Warlocks can wear light armor, some players may still wish to equip Wyll with clothing instead. One great example that players should consider is the Wavemother’s Robe
, which can be found during the final act of Baldur’s Gate 3.

With this robe equipped, players don’t need to worry about Wyll being in danger, as they can simply use the create water spell that comes with it and stand in that water to gradually heal during combat. Wearing this robe will also make Wyll resistant to both fire and cold damage. Besides all these resistances, the armor also looks incredibly stylish and suits Wyll well.

Tyrannical Jackboots

Looted From Enver Gortash

Anything that improves Charisma is an obvious choice for Wyll, and although the Tyrannical Jackboots don’t buff his ability scores, they give him a +1 bonus to saving throws and ability checks related to his spellcasting modifier. All Warlocks have high Charisma, so this is an obvious choice for the Blade of Frontiers.

Wyll starts with a 17 Charisma in the first place, provided that the character doesn’t modify these stats during the character creation process, but that’s only possible when playing Wyll as an Origin character. Depending on the Feats or other bits of gear chosen, by the time Wyll faces Gortash in Act 3, he’ll have a higher Charisma (maybe even maxed out), but the Scintillating effect of the books will always work.

8

Elegant Studded Leather

In #9 High-Security Vault Inside The Counting House

Wyll is still better suited to wearing the various light armor options available in BG3, and therefore, another great armor option for players is the Elegant Studded Leather. When Wyll has this armor equipped, he gains a plus 2 bonus to his initiative roll, which allows him to be more likely to attack first during combat.

Wyll will also have the Shield spell available for free without needing to use up one of his Warlock spell slots. On top of that, he gets Advantage on his stealth checks, allowing him to surprise enemies by suddenly appearing in combat to attack with an Eldritch Blast.

7

Birthright

Purchase From Sorcerous Sundries

Players shouldn’t only be looking at the chest armor they should be equipping Wyll with; they should also hit boots, gloves, and helmets, too. As such, players should make sure they pick up the hat known as Birthright
when they reach the third and final act of Baldur’s Gate 3.

As Baldur’s Gate 3 has a packed HUD, these hotkeys can make the game more accessible.

This hat simply increases Wyll’s charisma modifier by 2. This means that even if a player has got Wyll to the max of 20 for his charisma, this will still increase the score, which can improve the damage of his Warlock spells.

6

Bhaalist Armor

Purchase From Echo of Abazigal Inside The Murder Tribunal

Due to the armor being connected to the god of murder, it’s of no surprise to see that when Wyll wears this impressive suit, the surrounding enemies will become vulnerable to piercing attacks. This is perfect for any player who gave Wyll the Pact of the Blade, as now, if he’s using a piercing weapon, it will deal even more damage. On top of that, it increases his initiative rolls by 2.

The main issue players are likely to have with the Bhaalist Armor is earning it. To get their hands on this incredible light armor for Wyll, players need to accept Bhaal so they can purchase the armor from the merchant. This is something that Wyll and other companions will disapprove of.

5

The Protecty Sparkswall

In A Gilded Chest At The End Of A Trapped Corridor In The Grymforge

Returning to clothing, players who decide to recruit Wyll and bring him along to battle may alternatively like to equip him with The Protecty Sparkswall
clothing instead. This armor piece can be found early into a player’s playthrough within the first act.

With this robe equipped, Wyll has an increased Spell Save DC. The player is also able to increase their armor class and saving throws as long as they have lightning charges, making it a perfect robe to keep Wyll protected while also having plenty of extra bonuses.

4

Infernal Robe

Recruit Wyll And Kill Karlach

The Infernal Robe
is a great option that players can unlock from the first act of BG3. Not only does this clothing have a great armor class, but it also makes Wyll resistant to fire damage as well as able to hit back against those who attack him with melee.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Inventory Management Tips

Managing one’s inventory in Baldur’s Gate 3 is essential. These easy tips are worthwhile to keep in mind.

Although players can unlock these great robes in the first act of Baldur’s Gate 3, some may end up never earning them. Wyll is only given these robes if he does Mizora’s bidding by killing Karlach. This means that players won’t have the Tiefling barbarian available to them during their playthrough and that they will have to carry the guilt of killing her instead.

3

Quickspell Gloves

Purchased From Sorcerous Sundries

Gloves are another vital part of Wyll’s armor. Throughout Baldur’s Gate 3, players are likely to find plenty of great glove options for Wyll, but one of the best can be purchased alongside the Birthright Hat in Act Three.

The Quickspell Gloves
are perfect for any Warlock like Wyll, as the gloves allow them to cast cantrips as a bonus action instead of an action. This means that Wyll could cast Eldritch Blast twice during his turn, first as an action and then, the second time, as a bonus action.

Cindersnap Gloves

Sold By Quartermaster Talli At Last Light Inn

Warlocks make a great melee-spellcasting combination, but their status as a caster still means that they are limited to Light Armor unless the player has used a Feat to give Wyll some extra AC abilities. That said, not everything has to be about increasing Wyll casting power. Sometimes, it’s just about extra protection, and this is where the Cindersnap Gloves
come in handy.

As Baldur’s Gate 3 has a packed HUD, these hotkeys can make the game more accessible.

Wearing the Cindersnap Gloves gives Wyll the power to cast Protection From Missles once per Short Rest. This is a level 2 spell from the school of Abjuration, which gives the caster better reflexes to dodge arrows, bolts, and other ranged missiles.

Potent Robe

Given By Alfira After Saving The Tieflings

Out of all the available armor for Wyll to wear, players should consider the Potent Robe
above all else. Once again, this may only be clothing, but the various effects available on the Potent Robe make it perfect for any player who is bringing Wyll along.

Firstly, Wyll’s cantrips will deal an additional amount of damage equal to his charisma modifier. This means that every Eldritch blast is likely to pack a punch. Wyll’s charisma modifier will also increase the temporary hit points he has at the start of combat, making him less likely to lose health.
