The item served as the base value for calculating critical strike chance, with each 1% being worth 40 gold. They cost 400 gold before their removal.

Strategic Use:

  • Powerful early game choice for champions relying on critical hits
  • Especially effective on champions with on-hit abilities like Gangplank's Parrrley
  • Core item for champions like Tryndamere whose kits centered around critical strikes

Notable Changes:

  • Originally cost 360 gold
  • Critical strike chance increased from 8% to 10%
  • Was part of recipes for items like Phantom Dancer and Wicked Hatchet
  • Critical strike chance became Unique, then non-Unique before removal

Background: Created by a craftsman in a village south of Nolir's moors, these gloves were made from rare lizard hide and reinforced with steel, making them popular among bandits and thieves.

The item's icon was later repurposed for Teamfight Tactics' Sparring Gloves.

This item was permanently removed from League of Legends in patch V9.23.
