| Gauntlets | Forge level | Materials | Forge cost | Market price | Margin | Sold/day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tin Gauntlets | 1 | 10 Tin Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 100 | 24 | -76 | 7 |
| Copper Gauntlets | 5 | 10 Copper Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 180 | 198 | +18 | 3 |

| Uranium Gauntlets | 65 | 10 Uranium Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 460 | 189 | -271 | 1 |
| Mystic Gauntlets | 70 | 10 Mystic Bar, 5 Coal Ore | 710 | 337 | -373 | 2 |
8 of 9 gauntlets cost less on the market than their materials do. If you only want to wear the piece, buy it. Forging them still makes sense for Forge XP, or when the bars or logs came out of your own gathering.
The ones with a positive margin can be forged for profit, but check the sold-per-day column first. A gauntlets that sells a handful a day will not take a stack of fifty at the listed price. The money-making rankings flag those thin markets for every skill.
