I suspect this item will get beaten by the nerf stick eventually - at level 20, 14 crit rating equals 4% crit!

It's ranged only though, or everyone who can use leather would wear them as soon as they hit 20.

Clearly a hunter item.

Rate me low, once again, but I do-on't ca-are!

Comment by Thottbot

wow +1% crit chance for missle weps! damn that owns! -1% parry is just a way to show off, saying u can still hit me but i will still wtfpwn u

Comment by Thottbot

is the bonus applicable if you are using a gun? i would think bullets are missiles but they are "Fletcher's" gloves after all (which might make you think of arrows) ... post if you have info on this, thx

Comment by Thottbot

On a new server how much is this worth?

Comment by Thottbot

just sold these for 3g at a full server.
if you need money as a low-lvl LW, grind the feathers and make these =)

Comment by Thottbot

Oxford dictionary states:

Missile
noun, countable
1 a powerful exploding weapon that can be sent long distances through the air
2 an object or weapon that is fired from a gun or thrown in order to hurt somebody or damage something

i rest my case.

Today was my first full day grinding with these gloves on. I figured 1% improvement to crit would mean I crit more. I didn't see a huge difference. It gives you a better chance to crit, but I guess it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to . Anyway, they look kewl, but for me, that's about it I think. Here I come Toughened Leather Gloves!

Comment by Thottbot

After the recent patch that changes these to +14 crit RATING, these gloves absolutely own. They add about 4.5 crit chance to my level 20 hunter. They are a MUST HAVE for hunters of that level.

Comment by Thottbot

Is this a dropped item? The recipe I mean.

Comment by Thottbot

I looked at the crit rating after i equipped these on my 29 hunter...and it gives 2.46% crit....thats pretty sick if you ask me. I only lost 6 attackpower and 3 stamina switching from the toughened leather gloves....i think these might be the best 29 twink hunter gloves now that the patch does crit strike ratings.....hope this helped.

Comment by Thottbot

On equip, the tooltip shows
12.74% crit rating
(+4.10% bonus item)
Does that mean I have 16.84% crit rating?
That would be awesome but I guess it doesnt work like that :P

lol at blizz tooltip that Im never 100% sure to fully understand haha

Comment by Thottbot

i have +3% crit from this gloves on 23 lvl

Comment by Thottbot

I made myself a pait of these gloves and an extra pair to sell (getting the feathers is a pain as the drop rate is not high). Can't seem to sell them for any decent money. Reckon you can pick up a pair for 40s which is not worth the effort of getting the feathers.

Comment by Thottbot

hahaha some moron put these up for like 20s, and I went halfway through deadmines before realizing "oh duh, equip em" so I felt like a moron. But for a lvl 25 hunter with ranger bow with +2 scope, this makes life goooooood

Comment by Allakhazam

The problem is at level 20 very few people realize the impact of that. +1% crit = a ton of agility.

And take a look at the other +%crit items...they are much more difficult to obtain and don't usually drop until at least 10-15 levels later.

Who wouldn't want to be ahead? Losing the 1% parry is more than worth it for Hunters anyway.

And because of that most people sell the gloves for much less than they are worth, hence the low median price.

Try pricing any other +% crit item and you will get ridiculous mark-ups.

I actually sell mine for a flat gold each if not more depending on the market. One guy tried 5 gold each but I thought that was a bit overpriced considering the skill needed and the materials.

Still your server will vary.

Tried a number of times in AH - no one wants to buy...

For everyone that really want to know the value of this gloves I'll recomend to install the following addon, it is linked in wowwiki and it's great to compare ratings and normal attribute bonus:

http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files/details/4991/rating-buster/

Apart from that, this gloves are now absolutely insane, without any doubt are the best hunter 29 twink gear and any hunter can wear them until their nearly 40's becuause rarely they will find something better.

This gloves gives 14 critical rating for ranged weapons, and this means:
+1% to crit with ranged weapons for a level 60
+1.68% to crit with ranged weapons for a level 39
+2.48% to crit with ranged weapons for a level 29
+4.34% to crit with ranged weapons for a level 20 (when you can equip them first)

THIS IS HUGE BONUS! Whoever says different does not understand how the new ratting system work. Unfortunately that is the great majority of players, and unfortunately that makes that this wonderful item sells for pretty low in AH if you compare it with it's real value.

They also have a 'materials' issue, the 'long tail feathers' that you have to use to make them, yes they drop from the harpies in Stonetalon Mountains but the drop percentage is pretty pathetic there. You normally have to go to Thousand Neddles or Desolace and kill lots of birds before you can gather the 4 needed to make 1 set, that means quite some time farming level 30-37 mobs, compareing it that you will not sell them for more than 2g in AH means that they are not a good money making system, as they should be.

These gloves really made me think. I was giving up gloves with 4 agi and 4 sta to put them on, but in the end the argument of 1% crit outweighed the loss in survivability (on two fronts).

You see, all the crit items were standardized in 2.0, meaning that 1% crit is now 14 ranged crit rating. The catch? 14 ranged crit rating translates to 1% crit...at level 60.

My level 21 hunter just popped these on and his crit rating went from 8.67% to an amazing 12.77%. Agi for me is worth about 0.1% crit at this level, give or take. That means that 14 crit rating gave me 4% crit rating, all while still only losing 1% parry.

I sorta wish I was marksman now...Anyway, I won't be removing these for quite a while if you know what I mean!

Drop off harpies in Stone mountains.

Comment by Allakhazam

ok i recently got the skill to make these. anyone think they are worth equiping and trading out gloves with the same AC + stats? would love some opinions as i did it for a while and really didnt pay attention =(.

Comment by Allakhazam

They drop even more frequently off the high level swoops (32+} in desolace. called Deadly swoops?

Comment by Allakhazam

You need Light feathers for this I think at work atm and I know you need feather just do not know which ones, any idea where to get those or which creature it drops off?

Comment by Allakhazam

they need to make them lvl 19 perfect twink gear if it was :(

Comment by Allakhazam

I have an addon called Theroycraft that calculates my crit chance based on gear. talents, procs, everything... at least I thought so until I put these gloves on. My critrate for ranged weps stayes the same, according to Theorycraft. I asked someone in trade channel to link a wep that increases crit chance, and got Eskhandar's Collar. I set that as my neck (you can set any wep you see as the gear to be factored) and, low and behold, it showed my crit as going up for both ranged and melee crit! So, either A) my mod is just bugged and does not count these gloves for some reason, or B) these gloves do nothing but lower your parry!. The more likely one and the one I am hoping for is A, cause I want these gloves to work soooo bad.
