glacial gloves here...
AlienFromBeyond
I wonder how they would look on a Paragon...
SPiTL3R
Doesn't look too good. :/

/doh! I was planning to get it on my Warrior too but after seeing those pictures I think I'll get it for my Necro.

I wonder to which of my chars/armorsets these would fit at all.
Maybe my Female 15k Luxon Ritualist, which has a nasty "gauntlet" instead of gloves.
But I think the novelty wears off quickly. Maybe there are other parts out there, too. Then your char would look like frozen ice... or like a Frozen Elemental...^^

ATM fit well with my Fow, since it doesnt cover my arm at all, so no clipping. Just need to redye it to fit with the glove :P

Eh, they are decent.

Thats what I was thinking too...
+5 energy for derv gauntlet
+30 to elemental for ranger rather than 15elemental+15 specific element
Imbalanced? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Imbalanced? Correct me if I'm wrong. The Primary Ranger's base armor provides moderate protection. It has 70 base armor and +30 Armor versus Elemental attacks, +5 Energy and +1 Energy Recovery. A starting Primary Ranger can expect to have 25 Maximum Energy and 3 Energy Recovery.

These gloves take the effect of whatever your professions gloves normally have.

^^Thanks for clearing that up. I need to stop neglecting my Ranger & Derv, forgot what attributes were normally on their armor ;x.

Although you can survive aggroing 4 of them, it's easiest and quickest to manage the aggro so that you can focus all your effort into killing 1 at time. Here's basically what you do: Cast backfire on it so it'll get itself nearly dead after it spams about 4 spells or so. Meanwhile cast Resilient Weapon to counter the degen. Also, it helps to run into adjacent range at this point so long as you don't aggro a second vaettir. Then use VwK to finish it off.
If everything goes perfectly the vaettir will die after hitting you only once and you'll still have about 8 seconds left before backfire recharges (so basically they take just a dozen seconds to go down ). Sometimes they'll decide to use ether feast after the backfire has worn off. If you don't manage to interrupt that ether feast they'll take a bit longer to kill, but they'll still be history pretty quick. If you aggro more than one, it's not the end of the world, but it'll take longer because backfire does the most damage when they're full of energy to spam their spells on you.
I always used henchies to get to the vaettirs (which of course meant I had to flag them away so they didn't get my drops). I never bothered to see if I could slip past the patrols without henchies since most of the time I was obviously rezoning using the portal to Bjora Marches.

Yeah. The problem is that the Warriors are much bigger than the other classes, these gauntlets just make their arms look tiny. It also doesn't help that most of their armour has long sleeves, so this just makes them look cut off.
Oh well, it matches my whole wintery theme, but I plan on getting another pair for my Female Elementalist. In my opinion, it suits them best. Can't wait to see the glowing ones on Monks though.

meh... depending on what character is wearing them, and what armor they have on, it can look really dumb, or pretty cool to me..

In the instance Drakkar Lake, there is a circular area at the bottom right. When you get near the entrance you see a rabbit and as you get close it moves into the cave and down a path.
As you enter it looks empty with just rabbits running around.
As you get inside and aprouch the old tree the entire area changes and dozens of spirits apear around you, including the ones which drop the rare material needed for those gloves.
Now your talking about 10+ of each those creatures.
Chances are if you kill all of them, that atleast one or two of the rare materials will drop. Now just keep re-doing that same area over and over again and it wont take long to get 35 of them.
Its best to take an MM and make sure he has minions first, otherwise you WILL die. But that makes no difference, because its actually easier to kill them after you ress and re-enter and pick them off from the downwards ramp.
Now shhh!!!

Now shhh!!! now now thats totally wrong why go with a party of 8 and decrease your chances of farming them and then make the run even longer? (i love pvers)
easiest way is doin this:
1) go to the area that is east of sifhalla
2) run to the place where you would normally map to bjora marches
3) in that little town before you map are 15 of the things that drop the stones
4) you can aggro them seperately and its easy
5) be a toucher you can take on 4-5 at most
6) runs are about 5-6mins long
7) takes about 2-3hrs to farm 35 unless youre madd lucky
8) faster than the above poster
9) i made 100k from this
10) have fun i love pvers!
11) i have no clue why i gave away my secret to 100k in 2-3hrs !!!

Because by now nobody will pay 100k for those stones. They started from like 3k per down to like 700g each so not worth farming them no more...

and LOL 2-3 hour for 100k is a waste of time in 2-3 hour u can do lot more buying and reselling or just farm. LOL
Rhys
Doh! Everyone has icy forearms but my [male] mesmer I suppose it might be because our armor is always long sleeved, with the exception of rogue's armor.
I should have only needed to pay half the amount of glacial stones!!

That's just silly. Talk about a increase.

100?Gah that sucks. I hope its a bug.
Wulfgast
That's... stupid. Especially since everyone could get them for much less during the preview. GJ, Anet.
TigMagick
Yes, its not fair what about ppl that pre-ordered but didn't recive it in time? Or b/c of the bug thought they couldn't get the pre-order....
Please tell me this is just a bug/ oversight? This way only 1 of my chars would likly get it... Unless you want to pay out the nose to farmers.

This is clearly no bug.

This stinks. I was 5 away from getting my pair and to find out that we need 100 now!

Interesting. Personally, I'm not too fond of the ice gloves (compared to the air/glow glove leaked images I've seen) and I don't mind farming the stones too much (although I think maybe I'll do it for an hour a day so as to not bore myself out of my gord), but I also really understand why people find this upsetting. On the other hand, I think the change has some intelligence to it: Anet sees that people (like me ) are selling the stones for ridiculously high prices so they raise the amount required so that people are more motivated to farm their own "elite" collector items.

ROFL the collector is tired of farming them too!
but yeah, I'd totally be P.O.ed if I suddenly found out I needed 70 more instead of 5 more.
Edit: wow, look in this thread: 250 destroyer cores required for the fire gloves. :O

I'm sure glad I got mine early.
rogh daxh
:O now the collector needs 100 stones instead of 35, that sux
Wulfgast
Has anyone noticed if these cause clipping issues with shields?
Croco Clouds
Hey 100 Glacial Gloves is better than 250 Destroyer Cores, just look how ppl buy them at 1K!
Wulfgast
Clipping, anybody? I don't want to waste time getting these stones if the gauntlets just shoot right through equipped shields. :P
willypiggy
omfg, was reading the thread getting happy, thinking if i spent my day on this tommorow i would get some, and then i see i need 100 -.- farm time.
Serafita Kayin
Seeing as I've been vanquishing for the ridiculous grind for armor, and none have dropped for me yet, Anet has effectively removed any chance I had of obtaining these. Out of all the kills of that vaettir type thingy I've made, nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
GG Anet.

My Sweet Revenga
Starting to feel like one big fat stall tactic for GW2. 250 destroyer cores.... I have yet to get ONE ever since the game went live and I've killed a LOT of destroyers. And anet has no intention of making any modification to the drop rate as you can see from the latest update, they decreased the cores needed for that quest from 10 to just 3.
Need diessa chalices for the blindfold? I got one killing my first mob when I first went into that dungeon. Haven't gotten another once since and believe me. I'VE TRIED.
Anybody got a Rin Artifact for the dread mask yet? Not me.....
Sigh. I'm making more plat than I am getting these drops so I'm thinking I might as well just start buying what I need. Before I thought 1 plat per chalice was insane! But now I'm seeing it's better than what I've been trying to do.... at least charr carvings are dropping on a regular basis. At this rate, I should have a ninja mask by..... christmas?
