Are they really worth the 100 Glacial Stones needed to obtain them? I'm still deciding if I'll buy them for my Elementalist or not.

Buy them if you like them, and ignore those who don't

Check out someone with a similar character who has them, perhaps request a screenshot...see if you like the overall look...if so then grab'em, if not...no money wasted.

To me they can be fun to wear and zoom in to see. If you look carefully you can actually see through them and see some colors of whatever is behind them, whether it's the background or an object. I didn't notice my character's hands were sort of transparent for a while. If you're a female mesmer, be aware that the gloves will only cover the hands and won't be full sized gauntlets.

I love mine, but I got them back during the preview weekend, when you only needed 40 stones. Took less than half an hour to farm, so even needing 100, it shouldn't take you too long. If you like them, go for it. I think they look great on Ele's.

How can someone other than yourself decide that?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

The going rate is only about 20k for the lot. Otherwise you could farm the Glacial Stones yourself with the E/Me farming build in Farming section.

In my opinion they look best on male Eles with 1k or 15k Iceforged armour.

You like making threads don't you ? Anyway, if you like them, get them, if not - then don't. Plus you could easily farm them on your ele if you didnt want to buy them, go to the farming section, and theres a few builds.

Do you have something against me? I enjoy making posts and threads, and I have no plans on stopping unless the moderators here have an issue with it. I have a lot of things worth mentioning or even bringing up for discussion, but if you want to see a little variety in questions and comments, then I'm doing what I like to do. I do find it hard to believe I'm the only person to post pointless threads.

I hear they are producing a new musical on Broadway called "Spamalot".

You should check it out, you would like it.


Also, if your into armor clipping issues and gloves that don't match properly with other armors, not to mention grind farming then sure, go get yourself some glacial gauntlets.

So worthless that you have to post in them?

That said, I'm not a big fan of these individual armor pieces. The one nasty looking universal mask is cool, though. Nonetheless, if you want it, go for it.

The Riverside as a whole is entirely pointless. You can usually only find one or two "useful" threads. But the point of Riverside is not to be useful, it's to discuss, and that's exactly what StormDragon has been doing: getting people to talk.

Yeah seems everybody is farming riverside for +1 discussions these days.

Threads in riverside should concern the community, not just 1 person.

Post1: "Do you think the design of the glacial gloves are well worked out in contrast to the Ice Crown?";
Post2: "I might get the glacial gloves, do you think I should get them?".

Guess which one is the one suitable for riverside?

So since most people here are posting for +1s, I'm going to sum it up for you OP.

If you like them, buy them. If you don't like them, don't buy them. Simple answer to a quite pointless question.
