How to get the ancestral robe top
The ancestral robe top is a rare reward from the Chambers of Xeric raid. It drops from the raid's Ancient chest at a rarity of 3/69 (1/23), alongside the rest of the raid's loot table.
Because it's tradeable with a buy limit of 8 every 4 hours, players who don't want to raid for it can buy it directly on the Grand Exchange instead — see the live price & history chart above for its current value.
Is the ancestral robe top worth it?
As Magic armour, the ancestral robe top pairs a strong +35 Magic attack and +3% Magic damage bonus with solid melee defence (+42 stab, +31 slash, +51 crush), at a 75 Magic / 65 Defence requirement. Its trade-off is a -8 Ranged attack penalty and no Ranged defence bonus, so it's built purely around spellcasting output rather than hybrid setups.
