In Blox Fruits, the Black Cape is a rare accessory you wear on your back that boosts your basic stats and damage, making early–mid game grinding easier.

What the Black Cape does (stats)

Most up‑to‑date guides and community resources agree on these effects when you equip the Black Cape:

  • +100 health (lets you tank more hits).
  • +100 energy (more skills/dashes before you run out).
  • +5% damage to your attacks (a small but noticeable global damage buff).

Some older videos or posts only mention the +100 health and +100 energy, but newer sources include the +5% damage as well, which is now the commonly accepted stat line.

Why players actually use it

  • Very strong for new players in First Sea because the flat HP/energy plus a damage boost makes grinding safer and faster.
  • Works for any build (fruit, sword, or melee) since it’s a general damage buff, not tied to one style.
  • Cheap and easy to get once you hit the level requirement, so it’s often one of the first “real” accessories people commit to.

How and when you get it

  • You buy the Black Cape from the NPC Parlus at Marine Fortress (First Sea).
  • Cost: 50,000 in‑game money.
  • Requirement: Level 50+.

You have to reach the top of a tower at Marine Fortress (usually needing Air Jump or a mobility fruit/skill) to talk to Parlus and purchase it.

Is it still worth it now?

As of the latest guides and articles (2024–2025), players still recommend the Black Cape as one of the best beginner accessories:

  • Great for First Sea grinding.
  • Falls off a bit later in Second/Third Sea when you get higher‑tier accessories, but it’s an excellent stepping stone.

Quick TL;DR

  • Black Cape = +100 HP, +100 Energy, +5% damage.
  • Bought from Parlus at Marine Fortress for 50,000, level 50+.
  • Very good early game accessory for safe and fast grinding.
