CONFIRMED: Goliath Gloves Strength Bonus

Recommended Posts

I've confirmed that the Goliath Glove's invisible Strength bonus is +82, equivalent to wielding an Abyssal whip.

 

I hit an orange 526 on the Decaying Avatar in the Dominion Tower with the gloves equipped.

I had a Bandos Chestplate, Bandos Tassets, Amulet of Fury, Helm of Neitiznot, Dragon boots, Dragon Defender, Ring of Vigour and Goliath Gloves equipped. The total Strength bonus was 47.

Using Tip.It's Max Hit Calculator, I confirmed this max hit to be an addition of +82 Strength over the initial 47 (129 total strength bonus equivalent). This is exactly the same as an abyssal whip, and so I conclude that the Goliath gloves give an invisible +82 Strength bonus when no weapon is equipped (this bonus stacks on top of the glove's current Strength bonus).

How is the accuracy though? Does it hit like a 48 crush weapon, or is it more accurate?

It feels much more accurate than +48. Considering the Strength bonus is the same, I'd take a guess and say that the attack bonus is also +82 (same as whip) but there's no way to say for sure. It's certainly much less accurate than a Chaotic rapier, though.

The Goliath gloves actually do bind your opponent every once in a while. :blink:

I guessed it would be. Someone told me it was more effective on nomad than a rapier once... But i don't know if he was exaggerating or plain lieing.

 

I'm looking forward to getting a pair myself to test at waterfiends. even if they're whip accuracy and strength, they should be considerabley more DPS than a SS/Cmaul.

The problem about goliath gloves is you can't have more than 1 banked and they do not stack in the rewards interface in the tower.

So everytime they disappear, you need to kill 5 bosses to get a new pair.

Which makes them too annoying to use.

They do stack, you can have up to 15 retrievals iirc.

They do, I feel like that cap should be far higher though, I wasted too many fights :(.

 

It's interesting that it's +82, good to know. Thanks for finding out :).

Even if it's 1 hour, 5 minutes of boss killing doesn't sound like a huge strain. Especially when you also get dreadnips for doing it.

 

I think it's a choice: either 100 dreadnips OR a pair of gloves.

Oh that's a shame. But still, you can only get 15 gloves at a time, but you can use any additional points on dreadnips, so it's not wasted :P

You can only get 15 withdrawals: either gloves or dreadnips each time. Additional claims aren't count on either dreadnips or gloves.

I know. I was saying that you can use those points to get a few 1000 dreadnips if you really want to kill bosses and not use your gloves. So the points don't go to waste. Dreadnips seem pretty powerful, so having a few 1000 stock should be useful to everyone :P

Ahhh good, felt they were good but not as good as I expected so started using the gloves to replace barrows gloves whilst still using a weapon. I was hoping the stat drops that all the gloves gave would make them better or rival chaotics but found that they haven't so far.

 

Although these gloves in particular are probably far better than a chaotic maul when it comes to monsters weak against crush, that will probably be the only time I'll fight unarmed now.

Does the attack style have to be crush? or can you use stab or slash or something

It's still unarmed combat, so you have accurate, agressive and defensive crush.
