Defender's Gauntlets

Defender's Gauntlets are magical percussion instruments that provide solid defensive stats with +16 AC, making them a reliable early-to-mid game choice for monks and other melee classes seeking survivability alongside the modest HP and Mana boosts. As a no-drop lore item, these gauntlets are typically found as quest rewards or drops from mid-level content and represent a meaningful upgrade for tanks and monks gearing through their twenties and thirties.
