Cow gloves

Cow gloves

Cow gloves are a unique piece of clothing in Old School RuneScape, crafted from the hides of cows. They serve as a light, humorous accessory for players who enjoy expressing their quirky in-game style. Not only do they provide a slight defensive bonus, but they also showcase a player’s dedication to the farming and crafting skills required to create them. The gloves are recognizable by their distinctive bovine design, making them a popular choice for players who wish to stand out in a crowd.

To obtain cow gloves, players must first acquire cowhide, which can be obtained by defeating cows found throughout Gielinor. Once you have enough cowhide, simply take it to a tanner to create your very own pair of cow gloves. These gloves are not just a fashion statement; they also offer a nostalgic nod to the whimsical aspects of the game, appealing to both seasoned players and newcomers alike. Equip them and let your inner farmer shine!
