The '''sage's robe''' is a recurring robe in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series that first appeared in [[Dragon Quest V]]. It is a highly protective robe for spellcasters that protects the wearer against magical damage.

==Characteristics==
The sage's robe has seen three radically divergent designs in the series history. Its first depiction was that of a brown robe more akin to a Western fantasy design than anything from [[Akira Toriyama]], which was replaced by a lavender gown with a golden chest piece, purple collar, and purple filigree along the sleeves and ending hem in the [[PlayStation 2]] remake of ''V''. The ninth game's design resembles the official robes of the Catholig pope, dyed blue with golden trim.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The sage's robe has a defence bonus of +50, and reduces magical damage by 15 points. It can be bought at [[Lofty Peak]] for 12000 gold, and it can be sold for 9000 gold (original version) or 6000 gold (remakes). It can only be worn by [[Bianca]], [[Nera]], and slime companions.

==={{DQ8}}===
The sage's robe has a defence bonus of +55 and reduces damage taken from non-Zap spells by 25. It can only be worn by [[Angelo]] and can be sold for 11,000 gold. It can be made in the [[Alchemy Pot]] and can be upgraded into the [[Crimson robe]] by combining it with [[nook grass]] and [[magic water]].
