Overview
Valortread Plate Gloves are T4 plate armor gloves in Crimson Desert. They belong to the Valortread Plate Set, a reward set tied to the House Celeste Legendary Animals questline.
The confirmed max-refinement stats are 36 Attack and 17 Defense at +10, with two socket effects: Flameward I and Fortification I. At +0, the gloves are listed with 0 Defense and a 714 Copper price in equipment listings, so the old base-defense framing was misleading.

How to Obtain
Valortread Plate Gloves are obtained as part of the Valortread Plate Set reward from the House Celeste Legendary Animals questline. The reward comes after completing the Black Lion hunt, returning to the Legendary Hunter's cabin, reading the letter, and looting the nearby reward chest.
The questline starts by speaking to a Wandering Freesword in front of Lioncrest Manor in Hernand. Because the gloves are part of a full set reward, players should expect the headgear, chest armor, gloves, footwear, and cloak to be handled together rather than farmed as isolated random drops.

Use Cases
Valortread Plate Gloves are best understood as a quest-set glove with defensive socket utility. Flameward I gives fire-related coverage, while Fortification I adds a flat Defense bonus. The +10 Attack value is high enough for an offensive glove slot, but the main appeal is getting the complete Valortread set from one questline reward chest.
Quest reward: complete the Legendary Animals route instead of expecting a normal vendor purchase.
Set handling: keep the gloves with the other Valortread pieces if you are comparing full set identity.
Socket value: Flameward I and Fortification I provide defensive utility.
Refinement target: +10 reaches 36 Attack and 17 Defense.
