Crush explained the gloves thing, you cant have a high value gloves in TMW because if you had an 100 level armor you would have 100 % defense. So they are going to limit the gloves and such
adding a stat modifier to the gloves is an good suggestion but more than likely it would be a negative modifier not plus, like less dex because they are bulky.
How many of my topics are you going to reply to that are at least 4 to 3 months old?
Well I don't mind so do what you want.
Though I don't mind to have some chainmail gloves.
My friend was makin' them with chicken wire then he gotten tired of doing it and bought chainmail armor on ebay lol.
