Bronze Gloves

Bronze Gloves are a Bronze-tier hand armor piece with 8 DEF and 250 Endurance, requiring the Advanced Armors skill (Warrior Tier 4) to equip. They provide a solid DEF upgrade over Copper Gloves (6 DEF) and are crafted at a Smithing Station using Bronze ingots. As part of the Bronze armor set, they complement Bronze Chestplate, Boots, and Helmet.

Bronze ingots are required to craft these gloves and are produced by smelting Copper and Tin at the Smithing Station. The 250 Endurance is slightly lower than Copper Gloves (300 END) but the significant DEF gain makes Bronze Gloves the superior choice for combat-focused Warriors entering more dangerous content. Forest Ancient Metal Gloves (8 DEF, 300 END) match on DEF with better Endurance but are loot-only.

Bronze Gloves complete the hands slot for a full Bronze set build. Warriors pushing through mid-game dungeons should prioritize this piece alongside Bronze Chestplate and Bronze Boots to form a cohesive high-DEF loadout. Comparing paths: crafting Bronze Gloves versus farming Forest Ancient Metal Gloves from the Russet Forest provides two routes to 8 DEF in the hands slot, with the loot route offering superior Endurance.
