Often seen as purely buffers and healers in cleric dealing with undead and keeping the party in the fight, it's important to ensure they have the best equipment possible.

With seven cleric subclasses in Baldur's Gate 3 to choose from at level one, clerics cover various options, from damage dealers to pure characters. Because of this, good items to keep an eye out for are ones that boost their spell casting, aid with healing, and keep the cleric out of trouble in tough fights. Here are some of the fantastic items found throughout all three acts of BG3 to give the cleric one less thing to worry about when fighting the forces of the Absolute.

15 Cloak Of Protection - Uncommon Cloak

Can Be Purchased In Act 2 From Quartermaster Talli

Starting with something simple, the Cloak of Protection is fantastic for any class looking for a little help to keep them safe. The cloak can be bought at the very start of Act 2 from the Harper Quartermaster Talli near the Last Light Inn waypoint. While wearing this cloak, the cleric will get a plus one boost to all saving throws and their AC.

This can be especially important for Light, Trickery, and Knowledge domains as they don’t gain proficiency in heavy armor in BG3, unlike the other four cleric domains.

14 Slippery Chain Shirt - Uncommon Medium Armour

Can Be Found In Act 1 In A Chest In The Festering Cove

Being able to reposition to heal allies can be crucial for clerics, and the Slippery Chain Shirt makes that much easier. This shirt is medium armor, which means any cleric can wear it, and it has an AC of 13 plus a Dexterity modifier to a maximum of two. While wearing it, any time the cleric heals another creature, the shirt will automatically disengage them from nearby enemies, allowing them to move without triggering attacks of opportunity. The shirt is located in a hidden chest in the Festering Cove, which rAAZ's video shows how to find.

13 Luminous Armour - Uncommon Medium Armor

Can Be Found In Act 1 In A Chest In The Selûnite Outpost

Another excellent piece of armor for clerics can also be found in the Underdark, in a hidden room at the Selûnite Outpost. Marika Starflower's video shows a neat trick to finding the chest from the outpost waypoint. The Luminous Armour uses the cleric's radiant spells to rebuff enemies, as each time the wear deals radiant damage, it causes a radiant shockwave.

The shockwave inflicts a radiating orb on the target, imposing a minus one to their attack rolls for two turns and causing them to shed bright light for a three-meter/10-foot radius.

12 Vital Conduit Boots - Rare Boots

Can Be Purchased In Act 1 From A'jak'nir Jeera In Crèche Y'llek

Clerics have access to some of the best spells in BG3, many of which require concentration, and the Vital Conduit Boots are a great choice because of this. The boots require proficiency in medium armor, which is no issue for any cleric, and grant a plus one bonus to Athletics.

However, what makes them particularly useful for clerics are the eight temporary hit points the boots grant whenever the wearer casts a spell that requires concentration, such as Spirit Guardians, Beacon of Hope, and of course, the often-used Guidance cantrip.

11 Ring Of Free Action - Rare Ring

Can Be Purchased In Act 2 From Araj Oblodra In Moonrise Towers

The worst thing for any character is for them to get stuck during a fight, leaving them unable to help the rest of the party. Ring of Free Action solves this issue by allowing the wearer to ignore the effects of any difficult terrain, letting the cleric get where they are most needed. Even better, the ring also makes the wearer immune to being restrained or paralyzed to make sure that they never miss a turn. The ring can be bought from Araj Oblodra, who is located on the main floor of Moonrise Towers.

10 Armour Of Persistence - Very Rare Heavy Armor

Can Be Purchased In Act 3 From Dammon

If the cleric has proficiency in heavy armor, such as War or Tempest Domain, then the Armour of Persistence is a fantastic choice. As well as an AC of 20, which is one of the highest in BG3, the armor also reduces all incoming damage by two. The armor also grants the wearer the permanent effects of both the Resistance and Blade Ward cantrips. This means the cleric will have resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage from weapon attacks, along with a 1d4 bonus to all their saving throws.

9 Adamantine Scale Mail - Very Rare Medium Armor

Can Be Crafted In Act 1 At The Adamantine Forge In Grymforge

One of the best armors in the game can be picked up surprisingly early as the party delves into the Underdark and discovers the Adamantine Forge. The Adamantine Scale Mail is a fantastic piece that I often keep using throughout a playthrough once I've crafted it. The armor has an AC of 16, plus Dexterity modifier to a maximum of two, and reduces all incoming damage by one. In addition to preventing attackers from landing critical hits on the wearer, the armor also sends any melee attackers who do manage to hit the cleric reeling for two turns.

To craft the armor requires the Scale Mail Mould, located close by the Ancient Forge Waypoint, and a piece of mithral ore.

8 Viconia's Walking Fortress - Legendary Shield

Can Be Looted In Act 3 From Viconia DeVir

Viconia's Walking Fortress is one of the best shields and pieces of legendary armor in BG3. The shield can be looted after the defeat of Viconia DeVir and gives a plus three to AC, an advantage on saving throws against spells, and a disadvantage on spell attack rolls against the wielder. Once per long rest, the warding bond can be cast at the second level, and once per short rest, the shield can create a protective shell. Whenever an enemy hits the wielder with a melee attack, they can use a reaction to deal 2d4 force damage and knock them prone.

Warding bond grants an ally resistance to all damage and a plus one bonus to their AC and saving throws. It's important to that every time a target under the spell's effects takes damage, the caster takes the same amount.

7 Hood Of The Weave - Very Rare Helmet

Can Be Purchased Or Looted In Act 3 From Mystic Carrion

The helps Thrumbo in BG3. While wearing the Hood of the Weave, the cleric will gain a brilliant plus two boost to their spell save DC and spell attack rolls. This is incredibly useful for late-game BG3 when using spells such as or Hold Person on higher-level enemies.

6 Ring Of Regeneration - Very Rare Ring

Can Be Purchased In Act 3 From Sorcerous Sundries

The last thing any adventuring party needs is for the healer to fall in battle, and the permanently losing several powerful items.

The ring's healing can be increased by three hit points with the Life Domain feature Blessed Healer.
