Gauntlets

You can help by expanding it.

Gauntlets are weapons used by the Kung Fu Master class, obtainable through quest rewards, monster drops, dungeon chests, and in all areas throughout the game.

# Baleful/Seraph

Baleful and Seraph weapons follow the same upgrade path but provide different bonuses: Baleful on hit, Seraph on being hit. They can be exchanged for the other version at the same Stage at the cost of 9  and  10. They can be evolved to increase their stats, including a significant bonus to certain skills at Stages 1, 4, and 7. Beginning at Stage 10, they can be upgraded into a PvE or Raid weapon for further evolution.

The Stage 1 weapon can be acquired by evolving an Unrefined Scaleburn Gauntlet with a Light Stone or Dark Stone, or by opening a Light Weapon - Stage 1 Chest/Dark Weapon - Stage 1 Chest (Light for Seraph, Dark for Baleful). The weapons can be generated with 3 to 8 gem slots, though more can be added with Legendary Gem Hammers or (rarely) upon upgrading to a higher Stage. For this reason it is advised to obtain at least a 6-slot Stage 1 weapon before upgrading to minimize costs.

# Raid

Raid weapons are generally stronger than their PvE counterparts, but require drops from completing 12-person raids. Commonly referred to by their first letter(s) and Stage number, e.g. R6 =

; GC3 = Grand Celestial Gauntlet - Stage 3.

Stage progression offers only minor stat improvements, with the exception of major power spikes at Stages 3, 6, and 9. Later stages (6-9) of PvE weapons can be evolved into equivalent raid weapons, and later stages (7-9) of raid weapons can be evolved into early (1-3) stages of a higher-tier PvE weapon. Swapping between Raid and PvE weapons can be costly but offers alternative avenues of progression for players with varying ability to complete raids.

## Raven

The first available raid weapon, using Raven King's Soul from  Skybreak Spire (BT). Notable features include Focus recovery, crit boosts, damage boosts, additional damage, and a cooldown reset. Stages 1-3 can be obtained by evolving Baleful/Seraph Stage 10-12; Stages 6-9 from Dawnforged/Riftwalk 6-9. Can be evolved into the next weapon tier, either raid (Aransu) or PvE (Exalted/Storm Dragon).

## Aransu

The second available raid weapon, using Hive Queen's Heart from  Temple of Eluvium (VT). Numerical improvement over the previous tier (Raven). Stages 1-3 can be obtained by evolving Raven Stage 7-9; Stages 6-9 from Exalted/Storm Dragon 6-9. Can be evolved into the next weapon tier, either raid (Grand Celestial) or PvE (Shadowforge/Skyforge).

## Grand Celestial

The highest raid weapon tier currently available, using Grand Celestial Steel from  Nightfall Sanctuary (TT). Increases level requirement from 50 to 55. As the comparable PvE weapon caps out at Stage 6, this is the strongest weapon available for non-PvP content.
Stages 1-3 can be obtained by evolving Aransu Stage 7-9; Stages 6 from Shadowforge/Skyforge Stage 6.

# PvE

## Dawnforged/Riftwalk

Dawnforged and Riftwalk weapons are beginning of the PvE weapon tree. Dawnforged is the extension of Baleful, Riftwalk the Seraph continuation.
Each can be exchanged for the other version at the same Stage at the cost of 30  and  10. Stages 6 - 9 can be evolved into the same Stage Raven (raid) weapon, or the Stages 1-3 of the next PvE weapon tier (Exalted/Storm Dragon).

The Stage 1-3 weapons can be acquired by evolving a Stage 10-12 Baleful/Seraph or by opening a Dawnforged/Riftwalk chest (which can be obtained as a quest reward).
