Twisted gloves

Twisted Gloves are scripted handwear UCS armaments that debuted at the February 2026 run of Duskruin, in the Bloodriven Village shop called Coalescence. They were created by GameMaster Marstreforn. They are similar to Twisted Weapons in functionality, but require their own unique unlocks. Acid Edition, which is the first version of these armaments released, comes with acid flares and a +20 enchantment. They are exclusive to the Duskruin event. Tier 1 (OTS) At tier 1 (as sold in the shop) these armaments have standard (Category B) flares. The handwear also adds a line to the end of its LOOK description: Unworn: Thin, overlapping grooves cover each surface of the gloves. Worn: A haze of virescent fumes clings to the gloves, twisting and churning over their black alloy knuckles. Analyze * Twisted Gloves - Acid Edition * Available Actions * KNOCK * TAP * TWIST * WEAR | REMOVE Merchants that are skilled with this type of handwear may customize the following: * Parts: "black alloy knuckles" * Effect: "virescent" (fumes) ** Glow: "green" (not unlocked) *** Flares: "a twisted, prismatic spray of acid" (not unlocked) Alterations: Adding a SHOW description requires a rare merchant service to ensure congruency with other aspects. Altering any other aspect of these gloves will force the SHOW description to be removed by the merchant. Long descriptions must follow the format described below. Long Descriptions: * Default: "some twisted virid snakeskin gloves" - The default description may have extra details or may be the same as the base description. - The "Parts" customization is not incorporated into this description. ** Mundane: "some twisted virid snakeskin gloves fitted with black alloy knuckles" - Requires Twisted Moves.

(not unlocked) - The magical description must make the gloves "scintillating" instead of or in addition to its article. Unlocks: ** Twisted Moves (customizable): NOT UNLOCKED - TURN to cycle through long descriptions while worn. Removing the gloves sets them to Default. *** Twisted Flares (offensive - acid): NOT UNLOCKED - Chance for extra flares when you jab, punch, grapple, or strike with a maneuver that utilizes gloves. - Must be set to the Mundane or Magical description for these flares to activate. - These flares damage the target twice when they hit. **** Twisted Potency (POINT - acid): NOT UNLOCKED - Maneuver ability that deals damage equivalent to Twisted Flares if it hits. - Weakened Armament is applied to the target's armor/body after damage. - Twisted Potency has a 3 minute cooldown.
