How to get Researcher's Robe in Dragon's Dogma 2

Acquired alongside the Researcher's Robe from the NPC Emerich.

Activating the quest "A Veil of Gossamer Clouds" will cause him to be located in the Forbidden Magick Research Lab. He will be overheard talking to another researcher near the Laboratories in relation to a step of that quest. It is advised to complete the rest of this quest to ensure NPC behaviour is advanced correctly.

Once this has occured, the player must have fulfilled, or fulfill, the conditions to purchase Newt Liquer from Higgs. Purchasing 3 Newt Liquer will cause the tavern to be raided by guards, at which point it's best to run away. Advance time to night and Emerich can now be located within the Dye Pits, located near the base of a wall. He can be quite hard to find, as he is still wearing his Researcher's Clothes. You can talk to him, at which point you can buy 5 Saurian Tales from him for 2500 gold.

After this, you can punch him. There is no prompt for this, you will have to unequip your weapon and attack once. This triggers a dialogue where you can demand his clothes. He will give you the Researcher's Robe and Apprentice's Breeches, as well as a Mask of Concealment. He seems to dissapear from this location after this.

Dragon's Dogma 2 Researcher's Robe Enhancements

• If you have the requisite Materials at hand, you can enhance your equipment at any shop equipped with a forge. Consider enhancing your equipment according to your level and fighting style.
• There are several styles of smithing used in enhancement, and each one produces a different result, such as moderate, all-around improvement, or a significant increase to Magick or might. Choose the style that is most compatible with your preferred equipment and approach to combat.
• Players can mix different types of enhancements. For example, players can have a Weapon or a piece of Armor with the first two enhancemtens of a style, and apply a different one for the third one.  This adds further versatility and customization to Weapons and Armor. 
• Wyrmfire smithing allows players to further improve their equipment past the third level, but does not work like the other four smithing schools. In this case, the benefits given does not add up in the same way, in this case it grants the weapon an x flat in certain stat. It also reduces by half the weight of the item.
• Instead of gold, Wyrmfire upgrades cost Wyrmslife Crystals.
• For example, Peltflayers level 3 Vermundian has 1.24 weight and 134 Strength. and Level 3 Elven has 1.24 kg Weight and 125 Strength. If players apply a wyrmfire upgrade to both of these weapons, the results will be different: Vermundian path Peltflayers final stats will be 189 Strength, while Elven and 180 Strength. So in the case of this weapon, the flat stat increased is +55 in Strength.
