Armor
Forest Ancient Metal Gloves
Hands
Forest Ancient Metal Gloves are a ForestAncientMetal-tier hand armor piece with 8 DEF and 300 Endurance, looted exclusively from the Russet Forest biome. They match Bronze Gloves in DEF while offering 50 more Endurance, making them an attractive loot-based alternative for players who explore the Russet Forest. They fit the Hands slot and carry the distinctive aesthetic of the ancient metal found deep in that biome.
These gloves are loot-only and drop from Russet Forest enemies and containers. They cannot be crafted at a Smithing Station. Compared to Bronze Gloves (8 DEF, 250 END), Forest Ancient Metal Gloves provide the same protection with better durability. This makes them a particularly efficient find for players who may not yet have the Smithing Station investment to produce Bronze gear.
Forest Ancient Metal Gloves pair naturally with Forest Ancient Metal Boots (7 DEF, 350 END) and Forest Ancient Metal Helmet (9 DEF, 400 END) for a cohesive forest-sourced armor set. Russet Forest exploration is rewarding for players who prefer loot-based progression over crafting investment. The hands slot upgrade provided by these gloves is competitive well into the mid-game before Desert Skeleton Iron Gloves (10 DEF, 500 END) become available.
