Gloves of one who has been admitted to study as a Neophyte.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Only a small percentage of Dark Crusader postulants overcome the necessary trials and are inducted into the order as Neophytes, and fewer still are those who advance beyond - or even survive - this lengthy and hazardous early phase.

Rest of the Neophyte set
Wearing all of them together carries no bonus — this game has none. They simply match.

How it compares
No standout stat — 56th of 87 gauntlets for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
