Summary
Baldur’s Gate 3is 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.
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 inBaldur’s Gate 3.
Updated July 30, 2025, by Kristy Ambrose:Larian Studios is putting some finishing touches on BG3 before they move on, andPatch 8 includes a ew extra detailsfor 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.

Stats
Temperature Adjustment:The wearer has resistance to fire and cold damage.Watery Rejuvenation:When the wearer stands in water they start each turn by healing 1d4 of hit points. Can useCreate or Destroy Waterspell once per short rest.
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 theWavemother’s Robe, which can be found during the final act ofBaldur’s Gate 3.
With this robe equipped, players don’t need to worry about Wyll being in danger, as they can simplyuse the create water spellthat 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.
Uncommon Quality, Light Armor
Scintillating:You gain a +1 bonus to Charisma Ability checks and Saving throws.
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 whenplaying 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.

Ambusher:The unit gains a +2 bonus to their initiative rolls. They have Advantage on stealth checks and can cast the Shield spell once per short rest.
Wyll is still better suited to wearing the various light armor options available inBG3, and therefore,another great armor option for playersis 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.
Additional Qualities
The wearer’s Charisma increases by +2.
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 asBirthrightwhen they reach the third and final act ofBaldur’s Gate 3.
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.

Auto of Murder:Enemies within 2m become vulnerable to piercing damage unless they are resistant or immune to the damage.Ambusher:Gain a +2 bonus to initiative rolls.
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 Bhaalso they can purchase the armor from the merchant. This is something that Wyll and other companions will disapprove of.

High Spell Casting:The wearer gains a +1 bonus to Spell Save DC.Sparkswall Armor:The wearer gets a +1 to their armor class and to their saving throws as long as they have lightning charges.
Returning to clothing, players who decide to recruit Wyll and bring him along to battle may alternatively like to equip him withThe Protecty Sparkswallclothing 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.
Grants Resistance to Fire Damage. Players also have access toFire Shield.
TheInfernal Robeis a great option that players can unlock from the first act ofBG3. 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 againstthose who attack him with melee.
Although players can unlock these great robes in the first act ofBaldur’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 thatplayers won’t have the Tiefling barbarian available to themduring their playthrough and that they will have to carry the guilt of killing her instead.
Very Rare, Light Armor
Quickspell Flinger:Cantrips that usually cost an action can now be cast with a bonus action instead. This can only be done once per short rest.
Gloves are another vital part of Wyll’s armor. ThroughoutBaldur’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.
TheQuickspell Glovesare 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.
Rare, light armor
Protection from Missiles:A level 2 spell that recharges every Short Rest.
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 theCindersnap Glovescome in handy.
Wearing the Cindersnap Gloves gives Wyll the power to cast Protection From Missles once per Short Rest. This isa level 2 spell from the school of Abjuration, which gives the caster better reflexes to dodge arrows, bolts, and other ranged missiles.
Gregarious Caster:The player’s cantrips deal additional damage equal to the caster’s Charisma modifier.Well-Liked and Well-Fortified:At the start of combat, the player gains temporary hit points equal to their charisma modifier.
Out of all the available armor for Wyll to wear, players should consider thePotent Robeabove 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 damageequal 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.
