75 ectos ? really? a bad joke? Biz 12:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The note about them looking identical for every profession...is that confirmed? Because so far glacial gauntlets don't look the same on mesmers as they do on others. Mesmer glacial gauntlets end abruptly at the wrist and don't cover any of the forearm. :( --74.114.199.139 14:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Not worth 75 ectos IMO, all they basically do is dye your hands white. --Doom 18:45, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

It looks kinda like The Devil Bringer from DMC4, but with both hands lol

75 ectos? Fuck that... --90.202.255.35 17:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Jeez, why did they put this price on some "decent" hand art? It could have been useful otherwise as a fun gimmick, because that's all it feels like -- a fun gimmick. Not an awesome new armor/equipment or anything, with that price. -- Jonas N 07:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It is only in-game currency and if you don't like them don't buy them. There are always going to be some people who like an item and others who don't. It is just a sad fact of life. What price would you put on them? I personally like them but they don't go well with any of my armor so I probably won't get it.  About the only thing i could see putting them on(for me personally) is my Rit. AndersTheBloody 02:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

This is an extremely nice piece of armor.

 * Sure looks like dying your hands white... Ugly. --fraught · (talk) 18:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Whats the prob if you think it just looks like dying your hands. You dont have to buy these if you dont like them. Some ppl do, and they are willing to use 75 ectos to these, looks cool & rich ofcourse. And yes, it is a gold sink. I wonder whats the next one, i already have these, obsis and tormented weapon. I want something cool, looking rich rocks. Limu Tolkki 15:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Gold sinks work best if people really want to get the produced items though. ;-) -- Jonas N 00:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I have them, it took me awhile to build up the ecto, but I feel they are totally worth it. They look amazing with a monk dyed blue. As I was saying, it took awhile to build up the ecto, but I have nothing else to spend money on, I have already gotten every skill in the game, and ideal weapons for my main character and heros. Are they expensive, yes. Are they attainable, yes. Are they worth while........that is up to each person. Med Luvin 16:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I salvaged some to see what they turn into, found out ^_^.Quetzal 21:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * O.o so what do they turn into when you salvage them? I've had people tease me, asking me to salvage mine.  Noo way. &sect;Azhure Sun Soar 10:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * People don't tease you becouse they want to know what it will be, they tease you becouse they don't have 75 ectos to waste. One item can remain with no salvage data as far as I'm concerned. Biz 11:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd assume it's something like Obsidian armor. Ecto or dust. &sect;Azhure Sun Soar 11:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Crafted items always salvage into one of their materials needed to craft them afaik, so you're right, they'll likely either turn into dust or ectoplasm. &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 11:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you imagine if they crafted into dust? Haha pwnt! User:Mara Scythestorm
 * It could be A LOT of dust.
 * My friend salvaged it with sup salvage kit, and he got nothing xD Mr HaXx
 * Impossible. Did he bother to look in the chat log to see what it salvaged into?  Anything salvageable will always produce something when the item is destroyed... did he perhaps have some Glittering Dust or Ectos in his inventory already, and then got more of them from the salvage but didn't notice as they went into those pre-existing stacks?  If you don't see what you got from a salvage, always check the chat log for the details.  ~  [[Image:UserJKougar sig.gif|User:J.Kougar]]  J.Kougar  20:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Dye
I noticed some speculation about how these gloves dye in above sections, but it doesn't look like anyone actually provided any clarification, and the article page just mentions that they are "Fully dyable". I'll attempt to provide some helpful information pertaining to this below.

They do not dye in the same backwards fashion that the Chaos Axes do, and where as putting Black on a Chaos Axe will result in a cool ghostly-transparent effect, you cannot obtain the same result on these gloves... and putting on a color such as purple will result in the gloves glowing purple.

Like many, I'm not a big fan of these gloves. I find them to be too bright in most instances and I personally think they look much more fitting on say a Monk, than they do on a Warrior. However, if you want the gloves but don't want them to be so bright/glary, you can dim the glow down a lot with the use of Black Dye. One black dye doesn't help much, but two of them can effectively dull the glow down significantly. Then you can add in a third color for a lesser amount of glow. Using two black dyes and a silver will result in a dim bluish glow (less bright than two blacks and a blue), where two blacks and a gray will result in a very low amount of glow with a mild purple tint. Personally I found the two black and one gray to be the ideal balance for dimming the glow down but still leaving a nice effect, and as such I use this combination on all my Chaos Gloves.

I realize the above information is less helpful in text than an actual screen-shot of the gloves with the various dyes applied would be, but given the extent of the different effects you can obtain via applying multiple dyes to these gloves, it would be hard to make a collage style image with only the basic colors and not be compelled to include the more interesting combinations of dye as well. Perhaps if I have time I'll attempt to assemble such an image for reference for those considering the purchase of these gloves and then post it in the item's article. When I might accomplish this task is very hard to say, so if anyone else feels they'd like to take a shot at it instead, please don't let me intentions to do it eventually dissuade you from the task. ;) ~    J.Kougar  21:52, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Anyone know what these look like black? Not that I would ever do it, but I was wondering if they would like the Chaos Axe dyed black, clear. Mason717 04:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

A Price that Matches the Ego
90% of the people i see with these thing have at least a people know me title, and another full set of elite armor (most of the time FoW armor). either they have been saving up for 3 years on ectos (i highly doubt it, since no1 even knew what they were saving up for) or they really need to get out more. waaaay too egotistical for me. id rather spend that kind of money on a FULL armor set. elite luxon ftw!!xDValion Sentis 03:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Bah, you get People know me and have several 15k armor sets or fow, most expensive weapon(s) of its time JUST by playing casually since Prophecies. People are faced with the fact that they have hundreds of thousands with out anything to spend it on then a single armour peace comes along where for some 300k you get something that for some professions even looks good. Biz 06:22, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't play GW allot and when I do play I multitask, like surfing the web, developing my program and such and I still got enough money to buy FoW armor in a week. I'm saving for the Chaos Gloves for my warrior because I think that it looks great with Chaos Axe + Eternal Shield/Tormented Shield (the first axe is blue and the second is purple). But you're right, I also do it for the rep.-- Itamar [[Image:Dishonorable.jpg|20px|20px]]   08:40, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Salvage Conflict!
I've just salvaged some chaos gloves, and I got 25 ectos, and thus I propose that the number of ectos one can salvage is random (possibly up TO 39, but not a set 39 as the page would suggest.) Screenshot: R evelation talk 20:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Um... wow. Salvage for great justice? --[[Image:User Vorith sig.jpg]]orith  is so fail  00:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hell yeah, they were sitting on a mesmer (Dominating Enigma) Who I've not logged into for god knows how long, I already have tonnes of other "impressive" items, countless tormented weapons/obsidian armours/voltaic spears, so I decided to make a character slot, and get all I could out of Mr. Enigma.
