In-game description
"This reliable metal armor allowed the Spaniards to conquer the New World thanks to its exceptional durability and toughness."
Defense
Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Conquistador's Gloves has three crafting tiers that set its base Defense. Each tier can be upgraded several more levels at the Upgrading Station using the same recipe materials.
Item Level | Defense | Craft Tier |
|---|---|---|
1 | 100 DEF | Base tier |
6 | 160 DEF | Second tier (upgraded recipe) |
11 | 200 DEF | Third tier (top recipe) |
Crafting
Requires the craft plan Plans: Conquistador's Gloves to be unlocked first. The plan is unlocked through progression with the Smugglers of Port Royal faction at higher Reputation Ranks beyond the torso and legs plans that open at Rank 2.
Item Level | Station | Materials |
|---|---|---|
1 | ||
6 | ||
11 |
Each tier unlocks a new workshop attachment: the Shoemaker's Bench at ilvl 6 and the Material Rack at ilvl 11. Both attach to the Armor and Clothing Workshop and require its Bonfire coverage to function.
Set bonuses
Conquistador's Gloves counts toward the Conquistador's Armor 5-piece set. Set bonuses apply globally once the stated number of pieces are equipped at the same time.
Pieces | Bonus |
|---|---|
2-piece | Increases Damage Resistance by 15%. |
4-piece | Grants the Bulwark effect: the first few hits you take do not interrupt your actions. |
Flavor text
"They strode across foreign lands with swords in their hands and a thirst for gold in their hearts."
Notes
Gloves are the cheapest piece in the set by material cost, making them a useful first craft once you unlock the plan.
Counts as one piece toward the Conquistador's Armor 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses: pairing it with a second piece from the same set is usually the minimum to get value out of the plan.
