==Acquisitions==
===BG1===
* Loot from Meilum at Firewine Bridge on the northeast side of the area
* Found in a locked and trapped chest in Tazok's tent in the Bandit Camp
* Loot from Tazok at Bandit Camp. He can no longer be killed in the Enhanced EditionThrough the infamous ring MIN1HP.ITM.
* A third pair can be pickpocketed from Tazok immediately after the first encounter with him while infiltrating the Bandit Camp
===BG2===
* - In the first level beneath the Athkatla Graveyard District. It is in the pentagon-shaped blood pool in the room with spikes and deadly traps in Chapter 6
==Gameplay==
* Xarrnous's Second Sword Arm has the same bonus, but without the damage enhancement
* Hands of Takkok occupies the same slot, but it's effects on THAC0 and damage can be better. The Hands of Takkok have a larger improvement on melee attacks for any strength under 18/76, with an increasing gap the lower the base strength. However, the bonus from the Hands of Takkok does not apply to ranged Thaco at all and does not apply to the damage of darts, bows, or crossbows. In addition, the bonus from the Hands can be subsumed by a potion that gives 19 or more strength, while the bonus from the Legacy of the Masters will add on top. In general, high strength (18+) characters and/or bow/crossbow focused characters benefit more from Legacy of the Masters than the Hands of Takkok.
* These gauntlets provide one of the few available non-strength-based bonuses to damage.  This makes them highly useful for thieves, since such damage is multiplied by backstabs .
