A player wearing Safety gloves.

Safety gloves are received in the Stronghold of Player Safety by searching the treasure chest on the second floor down inside the Jail Cell. They are received with an additional 10,000 coins. If you die within or outside of the Stronghold of Player Safety, it will appear on your gravestone

[edit] Analysis

These gloves are inferior to green dragonhide vambraces, but they surpass leather gloves since they have no attack penalty, which is possibly used by mages. Also, unlike the boots which can easily be seen (fancy boots), the gloves are hardly visible on the game screen. These 'gloves' aren't actually gloves upon further inspection, they're vambraces with knuckle guards and spikes.

The gloves will appear on the ground if you lose them by death in the Stronghold of Player Safety.

[edit] How to get them

After talking to Professor Henry, you can easily obtain these gloves by doing the following:

Go to the Crevice just North-west of the ground floor classroom (where you took the Exam) and climb down. You will find yourself in a room with 3 level 83 Cockroach soldiers, but don't mind them, as they aren't aggressive. Pull the old lever at the west end of this room then proceed out the south door of the room, then head a short distance East to the stairs and go down. Once you have gone down to the next level, enter through the Jail Door you see directly East of you. Head south and then west down the passage, then north when the passage comes to a 4-way intersection. In a very short distance, you will see a large chest which lies in a small offshoot of the main hallway. Inside this chest are the Safety Gloves, two antique lamps and 10,000 coins.

If you lose the gloves there will be another pair in the chest. The coins reward can only be obtained once however.

[edit] Trivia

• The safety gloves design is based much upon the gloves that are part of the three sets of Fremennik armour, particularly the spined gloves. However, they have a different look that tends to match the fighting boots.
• A player can get multiple Safety Gloves by having them in the inventory along with three items that are worth at least 2 coins each and dying (it is recommended to die somewhere near the chest of the gloves), going back to the place where you die, and picking the gloves up off the floor after taking a pair from the Safety Gloves chest, resulting in ownership of two pairs. It has been confirmed that you can only have two pairs of Safety Gloves.
