Talk:Dragon Gauntlets

I added this page just for people unaware of the gloves, no picture is provided at the moment because the market on the material costs is around 125k alone, I don't think anyone is willing to buy these unless they have an ungodly amount of stored money. Although from comparing the icon picture, I suspect the Male Dwarven Ranger preview picture is sporting these gloves, as is he wearing the Mask of the Mo Zing headgear which is also not part of the Dwarven set, just misc. armor.

 * Quite a few of the armor preview or even armor pages seem to be listing the universal 1 piece armor as part of a set, or displaying it as part of one. Makes determining what the set actually looks like quite difficult.  I know people are proud of their chaos gloves and dragon gauntlets, but that is ridiculous. -Gildan Bladeborn 13:14, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Oddly enough, I have almost all of the mats to create these. I only need a few steel, and the rest I can make because I made too many when I went to go make my Elite Platemail ages ago. Nilator 11:03, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

They're not that expensive, i bought my warrior some of these today. I already have the scales saved up, bought 50 deldrimore scale @ 850 per piece. The fangs are only 1.1k and the eyes can be bought for 100g each from the trader.


 * Well having the scales stored away certainly does help, they are currently at 300g a stack, that can amount to 80k just from buying the scales for people who didnt have any stored away. [[Image:Searingflame.jpg|19px]] Psychaotic 15:30, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

They're certainly nowhere near as expensive as the chaos gloves.


 * True, nowhere near as expensive as those, 75 ecto is just pushing it, but 250 scales in the current market will run you 80k, idk who is willing to buy such expensive gloves instead of oh say, a full set of 15k armor. But I suppose it would only apply to those people who dont have any materials stored away, because buying all of it from scratch will hurt.

P.S Why oh why oh why could we not get a full armour in this style, instead of substandard reskins? :Wakers

Can anyone add a picture?

Re: price
They cost nowhere near 100k. 50 Deldrimor Steel = 10k, 250 dust, 500 iron, 50 lumps of charcoal (500 planks+10k), which is 10k+10k+5k (dust @ 19 each, just checked)+8k (iron @ 16 each)+5k (wood @ 10 each) = 38k. Add the fangs (1.3k each), eyes (100 each) and scales (8k @ 32g each) and you end up with 45k, nowhere near 100k. Finrod 16:52, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * You forgot the 250 scales which is where mos the price comes from.
 * thats only 8k at 25*320 Duanehaas 10:17, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Delete Other Thread??
theres another page on dragon gauntlets should we delete that one? this one seems to be where all the talk is goin onDuanehaas 10:18, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes, I believe that thread should be deleted. Good catch on that one! -...because the Goddess wills it so.

Other Images?
The notice says that there are different skins of these gloves. Seems weird to me, but I suppose it's necessary so mesmers aren't overpowered by beefy warrior gloves and so warriors aren't looking like pansies in dainty gloves. Does anybody have images of the other skins? It would be nice to have them all posted and labeled. -...because the Goddess wills it so.
 * I do heres female mesmer [[Image:FMDG.jpg]] I Owned u 11:37, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * That's your Mesmer? If it is, then it would be very helpful if you could take screen shots of the gauntlets like the pictures on the main page here (front & side views), and post them as the "female caster" version.  Thank you! -...because the Goddess wills it so.

Sorry its not but if you go to grotto there are plenty of mesmers with them and they probably would be for than happy to do pics for u. I Owned u 19:16, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Since many professions seem to have different skins for these, it would make sense to make it a complete table with an entry for each profession, male and female. This would be most helpful, considering it's no comparison between, say, female mesmer and ranger.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 14:54, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm not sure that one for each profession will be necessary...if necros, monks, eles, mesmers, and rits all use the exact same glove, then that's 5 copies of identical pictures. I agree though, that a male and female version of each type of glove should be shown.  Each different skin will ideally be displayed with all professions it's used for listed with it. -...because the Goddess wills it so.

.... just wondering.... does the glove get bigger on mesmer...if...let's say...she is wearing a sleeve-less top instead.. such as Enchanter or Elite Kurzick.... this goes the same with other gloves... like chaos/destroyer..... because short gloves just doesn't looks as nice..
 * I highly doubt that. While I agree that longer gloves do look nicer, I doubt very much that the armor is "smart" and knows whether or not the arms of a character are covered by chest armor. -...because the Goddess wills it so.
 * Thats correct, the gauntlets do not change according to the top piece. [[Image:Gauntlets_Mesmer_Comparison.jpg]]--[[Image:VFG-sig2.jpg|19px]]VoteForGwen 16:14, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

Clipping != bug
Seriously, I don't get why people don't understand this. These gloves are HUGE. It's not a bug, it's just a case of ridiculous size. Next people are going to tell me about how Staves clipping into Elementalist Elite Canthan armor leggings is a bug. --Curse You 22:43, 12 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Honestly, I haven't been in-game in so long that I can't verify this...I just switched it from "BEWARE!!" to the 'bug' template. Take it out if you think it's wrong, but a note should still probably be made on the page that does happen. -...because the Goddess wills it so.
 * I think a nice bright red beware is best. This isn't a bug and so shouldn't be treated as one. --Curse You 21:14, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
