All About Arcane Clothing

What is Arcane Clothing for?

Arcane clothing was introduced back in the days of scenarios, Scenario 2, Gargoyles Redemption, October 2001. It it created by a tailor with appropriate skill. This special clothing uses charges instead of reagents for both the necromancer and the magery disciplines.

To make it, first you need Arcane Gems. They can be found on:
Controllers
Golems
Juka Lords
Juka Mages
Exodus Minion
Exodus overseer

Next, you need exceptional clothing:
Cloak
thigh boots
Robe
Leather gloves

Then you need a tailor:
Double Click the gem, then target the clothing to convert.
When this is done, the original colour of the item is lost, and the resulting item will be red. (ie. You cannot create Arcane clothing from Nightmare clothes.)

All Arcane clothing will bear a Maker’s Mark.
24 charges maximum with each piece.
Max charges is based on the skill of the tailor using the formula skill/5. A GM will create an item with the maximum possible charges of 20.
Anyone can use a gem to recharge an item. However, a non-GM tailor cannot fully rechage an item, only about 80% of the max charges. In this case, it is best to use legendary arcane clothing, as a non-tailor can restore 19 charges!

What does it do?
-When worn, you are able to cast spells without having the necessary reagents.

-(Updated 11/10/07, courtesy of Sarloth of Stratics, confirmed with Marlin) A single charge is drained, regardless of level of spell.

-When out of charges, arcane clothing return to their normal (grey)colour.

- You can recharge by double clicking a gem, then targetting the clothing to be recharged.

- Clothing can ONLY be recharged when it is out of charges

-The clothing will only come into effect should you lack the necessary reagents. This is a boon for those who do not have full lrc suits. If you have 50% LRC, then you will only use your charges 50% of the time.

Other questions:
- Using an Arcane Gem on blessed clothing will remove the blessed status.

- Arcane clothing cannot be blessed, only insured.

- Arcane clothing can be dyed normally after it is made.

- players who use clothing often use only the robe, cloak and boots, as these do not take up armor slots.

also monsters that loot gems are betrayers, found in ilsenhar (blackthorn castle). i used to have tons and tons of gems, never wore the cloth, I could do it, with my mage, just a bag of gfems instead of regs and than recharge my cloth after now and than. but this isnt good when u hunt strong monsters, u would have to refill cloth in a fight wich doesnt work verry well...

i once had a really really great runic glove set, used arcane gems on it, and the makers mark changes with that (looked like i made it

). was niceway to safe some regs, didn't use the arcane property much however, just to make them even more special and well-selling on the market (never sold them tough, were to great)

This may qualify as one of the biggest DUH moments in UO history...

it never occurred to me to use arcane gems on "good" leather gloves (like, a barbed runic pair of gloves). I used to just think, why would anybody waste an armor slot with crappy gloves just to have arcane capabilities?

DUH. Use the gem on a GOOD pair of gloves!
