In Baldur’s Gate 3the Rogue class excels at eliminating enemies while remaining obscured and out of sight. Whether through the use of a bow or blades, Rogues can quickly finish off their enemies with several successive attacks. There are many fantastic equipment options that a Rogue can use to exploit the Advantage to their advantage, as Sneak Attacks only work when the user has Advantage.
Rogues don’t have access to medium and heavy armor without multiclassing, which can be scary since rogues don’t have many reliable ways to get past armor class 20. Players can mitigate this issue if they wish. taking 2 levels of Fighterwhich will grant armor proficiency as well as the Action Surge skill. However, if players want to stick with just the Rogue class, use these armor pieces for a pure and strong Rogue.

Cloak of the Cunning Brume
Fog cloud when switching off
The Brume Cloak of Cunning can be purchased or stolen in Act 2 from the Tiefling Mattis child in BG3‘s Last Light Inn, assuming the player saves Grove and the Tiefling refugees. If the player invades the Grove, Mattis is killed and never reaches Act 2, making this item unobtainable without the use of mods. Mattis will also have some other useful items in Act 3, like the Corvid Token, so I highly recommend keeping it alive if possible.
I recommend using this skin until the player reaches Undercity, where the best Rogue skin is found.
This cloak grants the user the Cunning Brume passive, so whenever the user disengages, he creates a fog cloud that lasts 1 turn. This is perfect for Rogues as they can use this fog cloud to their advantage to perform additional stealth attacks. While inside this cloud of fog, entities are obscured, which means advantage on attack rolls.

Shadowslayer Cape
Increase critical strike chance
The Shadowslayer Cloak can be purchased or stolen in Act 3 from Sticky Dondo, a vendor in the Guild Hall who is next to the Tiefling Mol child in BG3. To ensure this vendor stays open, be sure to side with the Guild against the Zhentarim, who are trying to take control of the hideout for themselves. This cover is perfect for any build that uses concealmentwhich is why it is an essential option for most parties.

The Shadowslayer Cloak grants the user the Stealthy Critical passive, which reduces the number needed to land a Critical Hit by 1 while hiding. This effect can also be stacked, meaning it can be combined with weapons like 
The dead shot
bow. Combine this with the advantage of being obscured, and Rogues should land Critical Hits in every battle.

Amulet of the Misty Step
For perfect positioning
Amulet of the Misty Stepcan be looted in Act 1 from a Golden Chest within the Desecrated Temple section of the Goblin Camp, guarded by an ogre. As seen in TechKuyavideo of, she is guarding Priestess Gut’s private quarters what leads to BG3′s Underdark, so be sure to discard it before continuing to loot this item. There are no Rogue-specific amulets, so this is a good option for Rogues to move around the battlefield efficiently.
This amulet grants the wearer one use of the Misty Step spell per short restwhich all players will normally need. Most players who use Rogues tend to choose the Thief or Assassin subclass, which do not use spells. As such, adding Misty Step to your arsenal is a perfect way to get a good vantage point before and during a fight.

Mutable Corpus Ring
Free invisibility and blur
Mutable Corpus Ringcan be acquired in Act 2 of Flaming Fist Marcus after defeating him in the Last Light Inn when he tries to capture Isobel. He comes with two concentration spells, namely Blur and Invisibility. Blur imposes Disadvantage on enemy attack rolls and invisibility is useful for Rogues when robbing or pickpocketing.

Callarduran’s Soft Hands Fetish |
Invisibility Spell |
Rogues are not traditionally spellcasters, which means they have a free slot for concentration spells. Blur and Invisibility are perfect spells for a Rogue to use, as they both work together to prevent a Rogue from being attacked. Additionally, Rogues have high stealth and sleight of hand, meaning invisibility can be useful for utilitarian purposes such as stealing or lockpicking.

Risky ring
Sneak attack every turn
THE 
Risky ring
can be purchased or stolen from vendor Araj Oblodra in Moonrise Towers during Act 2. Wear this ring grants the user advantage on all attack rollsbut Disadvantage on all your Saving Throws. This is the best ring in the game for Rogues, as it grants them the ability to stealth attack whenever they want.
While the Risky Ring is a great choice for all classes that utilize weapon attacks, it is much stronger for a Rogue and should receive priority for this item. Also, This ring makes Critical Hits more commonwhich pairs well with items like the Shadowslayer’s Cloak and the Gunslinger’s Bow. Since Rogues can stealth attack whenever they want, they do not need to engage a target before entering battle while wearing this ring.

Disintegrating Night Walkers
Free from difficult terrain
Disintegrating Night Walkers can be looted or stolen in Act 1 of True Soul Nere in Grymforge. These boots are one of the best items in the game and because they are found so early, it makes them even stronger. They grant the user a free use of Misty Step once per short rest and immunity to being entangled, entangled, entangled, and slipping on grease or ice.
If these boots are contested and the Rogue cannot use them, I recommend the Black Justiciar’s Boots, which provide the Shadow Teleportation Trick.
These boots are especially effective for classes that don’t have access to the Misty Step spell, like Rogues. One Misty Step per Short Rest is all players really need. THE immunity to slipping and being restrained can also open synergies with the rest of the party, such as using 
hail storm
to break the spellcaster’s concentration so the Rogue can move in for a sneak attack.

Bonespike Gloves
Ignore physical resistance
THE 
Bonespike Gloves
They are difficult to acquire and can be easily missed if the player doesn’t know what to look for. During Bhaal’s Power Word Kill Ritual, on the way to Bhaal’s Temple, a wave of enemies will appear to prevent the player from reaching Bhaal Ghislev’s Farslayer. Strangler Luke, one of these enemies, will drop the Bonespike Gloves upon defeat, as seen in kijara42the video.
Be sure to loot the gloves before interrupting the ritual, as Strangler Luke’s corpse will disappear once the ritual ends.
The Bonespike Gloves grant the user the Exoskeletal Reinforcement passive, which makes the the user’s attacks ignore resistance to slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage. With the large number of bosses that have resistance to physical damage, this is a great option for a Rogue looking to deal as much damage as possible. It also synergizes well with Bhaalist Armor, which imposes vulnerability to piercing damage.
3
Mask of Soul Perception
Increase attack rolls and initiative
The Mask of Soul Perception can be looted from BG3Act 3 of a DC 20 golden chest in the Helsik room on the second floor of Devil’s Fee. There are some other high DC chests nearby too, so be sure to bring plenty of Thief’s Tools. However, thieves should have little to no problem opening this chest.
The Mask of Soul Perception grants the wearer the Detect Thoughts spell once per Short Rest. It also comes with the Soul Perception passive, which provides the user with +2 on attack rolls, initiative rolls, and perception checks. This is wonderful for Rogues, as it is important for them to be first during combat.

Stylish studded leather
Advantage in stealth checks
In Act 3, Studded Elegant Leather can be purchased or stolen from the High Security Vault of the Counting House in Lower City, as seen in raaz1312video on YouTube. A vault key can be obtained by completing the quest Return Rakath’s Gold. This equipment is an excellent defensive option for Rogues as it can synergize with a stealth playstyle.
This elegant studded leather grants the wearer a +2 bonus on initiative rolls and Advantage in stealth checks. It also comes with free use of the Shield reaction once per Short Rest, allowing the Rogue to use a reaction to increase their Armor Class by 5. The advantage in Stealth Checks is important for Rogues to successfully hide when necessary.

Bhaalist Armor
Double Piercing DPS
The Bhaalist Armor can be purchased in Act 3 from Echo of Abazigal in the Murder Tribunal after the player accepts Bhaal and becomes an Unholy Assassin. This armor grants the user the Aura of Murder passive, which makes enemies within 2 meters vulnerable to piercing damage unless they are resistant or immune to it. It also provides +2 to the user’s initiative rolls, which stack with the Mask of Soul Perception.

Best Rogue Weapons with Piercing Damage |

|---|---|
|
Crimson Mischief |
1d6 Piercing + Strength or Dexterity 1d4 Necrotic |
|
Blade of the First Blood |
1d4 Piercing 1d4 Necrotic |
|
Undermountain King’s Knife |
1d6 Piercing + Strength or Dexterity |
|
Rhapsody |
1d4 Piercing + Strength or Dexterity |
Given the Aura of Assassination effect, Bhaalist Armor really stands out when worn melee weapons that deal piercing damage. However, this means Rogues must get close to take advantage of the debuff. For Rogues who primarily deal ranged damage, this chest armor may not be necessary. However, for melee Rogues, there is no better option in Baldur’s Gate 3.
