Obtaining Witch Robes

Witch Robes can be obtained through various methods within the game. The primary source is from the quest “Witch’s Potion.” Upon completion of this quest, players are rewarded with the Witch Robes. Additionally, players can purchase them from other players through the Grand Exchange at variable prices, depending on supply and demand dynamics in the game economy.

Wearing Requirements

To equip the Witch Robes, players must meet certain requirements. Specifically, there are no level requirements to wear the robes, making them accessible to low-level players who wish to engage in magic. However, players should have completed the “Witch’s Potion” quest to obtain them. This ensures that players have some experience with magic and quest mechanics before donning these robes.
