[edit] Artifact Gauntlet

I have an artifact turtle shell gauntlet, but since there's only one (obviously), can my soldiers wear it? It should provide extra damage protection.--Stinhad Limarezum 03:48, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

They'll wear mismatched pairs of boots, so I don't see why they wouldn't wear mismatched gauntlets. --RomeoFalling 05:36, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

Just keep in mind that only champions will claim it, and once they do they'll never put it down. --Bilkinson 09:07, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

Is that proven? I could have sworn that any dwarf would claim an artifact armor or weapon given its availability. --GreyMaria 15:04, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

If what's posted at item quality is to be believed, artifacts are no better than masterpieces in terms of protection/damage bonuses. So even no-quality steel will offer more protection. Incidentally, they will wear mismatched gauntlets (dammit).--Maximus 12:37, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
