Talk:Glacial Gauntlets

Woah, it went from 35 stones to 100! Lightow 12:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If it did I'm not surprised. The stones were pretty easy to solo farm in the preview; only took me an hour or so.  I think ANet wants these to be a bit more difficult to obtain. --Valshia 17:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it's a bug. Intead of saying "play the game, enjoy with friends and in time you'll get them", it says "buy money on ebay and buy from a korean farmer". --213.140.6.120 01:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * may i say that i found that statement offensive and that you please rephrase it.--Insane Maestro 01:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strongly wishing I had gotten them during the preview event because farming 100 of them doesn't interest me in the slightest. GG Grind Net. Diessa Chalice is like this, only it requires 50. Problem is they almost never drop, ectos drop more often than Diessa Chalice. Dancing Gnome 09:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I know it's a year or so between this and GW2, but I don't think high prices and low drop rates are really the best way to keep people playing. Oh well, I kind of like these, but not enough to grind to 100. All the epeeners out there who have these can just be that much more special. :D Genofreek
 * Will not say that I don't wish I hadn't gotten them before they went from 35 to 100, but honestly, it could be worse. We chould have to pay at least 10k (without the cost of supplies) to make them, like the other gauntlets. --« troy frostwind­»  14:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I dunno, 10k seems cheaper to me. Before people were paying 1k + to buy the stones, so 30k, now it's rediculous! Dancing Gnome 13:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

All you need to do to get them is farm with kegs.Got all 100 this weekend while farming for easter stuff :D Super Range Ranger Cow 23:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This no longer applies. keg farming is dead Nay the One and Only 15:39, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Other Gauntlets
I've seen on several pages: Magma Gauntlets or Gloves, but haven't come across them in game yet. I think they are called differently, they are called Destroyer Gauntlets and you can get them from a collector in the last town Central Transfer Chamber in exchange for 250 Destroyer Cores
 * Yea, I think the so called Magma Gauntlets are the Destroyer Gauntlets. - anja  [[Image:User Anja Astor sig icon.png|talk]] 13:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Bug?
Gauntlets on mesmers end abruptly at the wrist. They don't go up the forearm. Is that intentional? --Redfeather 14:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Taking into consideration how quite a few mesmer armors for the hands are gloves.... Probably.--Seth Crimsonflare 09:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

It took me 2 weeks to farm for these, so 100 stones is too much and I also tought that having them on would look better than the pics, well not much...

So a big let down in my point of view, asking for 50 stones and making them dyeable would have gone a long way in making me satisfied.

If we are to spend that much time collecting items for special armor stuff then at the very least they should be dyeable and so are all the special event hats.

I don't understand the need for some special items not to be dyeable. By doing this you are limiting our ways to enjoy the game.

It is my hope that you will make some or all items dyeable. Swamp Thing 21:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just remember it was your choice to farm them. There are screenshots on the wiki, so you know what they look like - elviondale  (tahlk) 00:37, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The screen shot doesn't show what they look like on mesmers. Also that male screen shot is horrible. The lighting is horrible lighting for a screen shot. It would be great if someone could take a better picture for everyone else to see. Dancing Gnome 14:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed the pic, although I don't have a Mesmer that far to get a screen cap of that. --Broodling67 01:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

transparent
it can maybe be noted that it's not ice gloves, it's ice hands, we can see through the hands with it. lussh 08:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

"The actual color of the gloves is crystal blue, although in certain dark areas it will look as a Dark crystal blue." Thanks Yogi, you always come through for us. xD --Curin Derwin 00:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

These hands look cool with the elite luxon armor on the sin, so I think its so worth farming the materials. link title

Favourites
Still my favourite gloves out of the five, affordable, easy to get and fun to wear. Necromankas 22:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
