Prophet Ascension

they are max armor and have +5 energy
Pwny Ride
So...what do they do? I cant find out, AceBot invaded my PC just in time for the event! 
jiggerjay
its just a collectors armour you need 35 of something that has not droppped for me at all yet.
max armour +20 afaik and it looks the shizzle.
i expect people to be farming these drops and selling the items for a nice price over the coming days.
i would prob pay 10k to save the effort !

Prophet Ascension
if it is different for each profession then the +5 energy is for a dervish
or perhaps i am wrong. i found it like 3 hours ago i don't remember

i think it changes as well per profession.
can wait to get a set tohugh, and the magma arms, i got the brass knuckles but dont know what inscription to use, 15^50% sounds logical.

tuna-fish_sushi

Avatara

tuna-fish_sushi
ecomancer just stated he farmed 70 of them so he should know thats who i am asking.
ember2inferno
There is a graveyard type place to the south east of the collector with mobs in it that drop the collectable. I killed about 15 of them and got one drop :\

Considering getting them on monk and warrior. Farming takes too long, might buy stones for other characters.

Take a character, go out of town, find the mob, kill them and get 1-3 glacial stone per run. Rinse and repeat till you have 35 glacial stones.

You're often at -50% health with brawler skills waiting for the KO to heal, so that extra 20% boost when you need it is really handy. Not yet tried using brawler skills outside of the contests, so not sure if the KO heal translates... if it doesn't then go with the -5s.
Can we get some pics of gloves on various professions pls?

As a Ranger this is what they are so they are probably dependant on professsion.

There is a group of 15 Spectral Vaettirs in the SE corner of Jaga Moraine, near the exit to Bjora Marches. I've marked the location with a red circle on the map. The collector is marked with a green circle.
This is what I used to solo the Vaettirs with my ranger:
R/Me
14 Wilderness Survival
12 Domination Magic
9 Expertise
[skill]Melandru's Resilience[/skill][skill]Backfire[/skill][skill]Shatter Delusions[/skill][skill]Shatter Enchantment[/skill][skill]Empathy[/skill][skill]Natural Stride[/skill][skill]Storm Chaser[/skill] and (Cry of Pain)
Probably works better on a mesmer primary, but it did the trick. After you clear the area of Vaettirs, you can rezone using the portal to Bjora Marches and start over. On average it took me a little under 8 minutes to kill the Vaettirs and rezone. It's really easy cause you can aggro them one by one and they mostly just die to Backfire. The drop rate was 35/118 (around 30%).

Just wondering if those gloves are dyeable?

My guess is no, since none of the other max collector armors do. It would be a shame if that is the case, because I will have little motivation to obtain a set.

They can't be dyed, but they do take insignia, which is pretty sweet

The gloves had no bonus when I checked on my assassin

unless the war chest piece(shoulders) does extend all the way down to the arms from the shoulder, it looked pretty crappy.
I tried it w/ my primeval. it cuts it off pretty badly....I think I might need to get a GWEN armor set just to make the glacial gaunts looks to fit.
It does look good in other sets.

or anyone knows how? Well, I got mine before I found this topic, and solo farming them didn't even occur to me, because, well... I'm dense
I farmed them with myself and two heroes - Gwen as backfire/lifesteal, Tahlkora to keep us alive...
I got between 1-4 stones per run, and each run took about 5 mins max, so it was still pretty quick, but I'm sure there's a more effective way =]

Don't look so fantastic on the male Warrior, but I just had to get them.

Hold on.
Are these glacial gauntlets statistically better than other hand-armour in-game?
