Gauntlets of Quickness

Gauntlets of Quickness

The Gauntlets of Quickness are very powerful magical gauntlets. They appear in the Ultima VII Part Two expansion, The Silver Seed.

Description

These gauntlets were once used by Karas the Quick. Wearing them makes the wearer much faster than usual, giving a real advantage in combat. They were thought lost in the War of Imbalance, but then it was revealed that the Avatar retrieved them by travelling back in time. In the adventure, Aram-Dol had stolen the gauntlets. After the Avatar had destroyed him, the hero found the gauntlets in the liche's treasure chamber, and put them to good use. It is unknown what happened to them afterwards.

Protective Value

The gauntlets have a protective value of "3" and give a +10 DEX bonus.

Lore

“	These gloves increase your dexterity by ten points. They have the same Defense Value as magic gauntlets (3). Make sure that you aren't wearing any other gloves or gauntlets before you try to put them on. – from The Silver Seed Play Guide (Ultima VII Part Two)

Trivia

• Wearing the Gauntlets of Quickness boosts DEX but not combat, so training the combat statistic will give better results while wearing these gauntlets.
