'''Plate Gauntlets''' is piece of [[Armor]] for the [[Cryoknight]] faction, worn in the hands slot. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Plate Gauntlets, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.

Players who have chosen the Cryoknight faction are able to receive Plate Gauntlets in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Guardian]] factions will receive Plate Gauntlets much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity armor for their own faction.

Plate Gauntlets are also able to be crafted by the [[Armorer]] profession, at an item level up to the Armorer level of the crafter.

==Variants==

The visual appearance of Plate Gauntlets is dependent only on its level. Plate Gauntlets crafted by the Armorer profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Plate Gauntlets.

==Combat Stats==

As a piece of Armor, Plate Gauntlets have resistance stats for all 6 damage types. The total resistance of Plate Gauntlets obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = 6\times L + 90\times R + 10 </math>

Where

*<math>L</math> is the Item Level

*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

This total resistance is divided up between the 6 damage types with some variation for each individual value. Since the armor is for the Cryoknight faction, the [[File:Tempestae damage icon.png|18px]] Tempestae resistance will be on average 20 points lower than that of the other damage types. See [[Armor]] for a more detailed explanation of how resistances are calculated.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of Plate Gauntlets is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus Plate Gauntlets at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have exactly the same total resistance of '''370'''.

Plate Gauntlets are able to be dropped by any monster that can access the [[Equipment drop table]].
