Overview of Ghostly Gloves

Ghostly gloves are a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) known for their distinct ghostly appearance. They are part of the Ghostly set, which also includes the Ghostly robe and hood. These gloves are primarily used for aesthetic purposes but also possess some utility in specific situations.

How to Obtain Ghostly Gloves

To acquire ghostly gloves, players must complete the Ghosts Ahoy quest. This quest is available to players who have achieved a minimum of level 20 in the Prayer skill. Once the quest is completed, players will receive the ghostly gloves as part of the rewards.

Quest: Ghosts Ahoy
Prerequisite Level: 20 Prayer
Quest Requirements: Speak to Brother Allred in Port Phasmatys.

Stats and Appearance

The ghostly gloves provide a +2 bonus to Prayer, making them a valuable item for players looking to enhance their Prayer restoration during combat or boss fights. Below is a table summarizing their stats:

Stat	Value
Defence Bonus	0
Prayer Bonus	+2
Rarity	Uncommon

In terms of appearance, the ghostly gloves are semi-transparent, giving them a spectral look that fits the ghostly theme. Many players wear them for their unique style in-game.

Using Ghostly Gloves in Combat

While ghostly gloves do not provide any significant defensive bonuses, they can be beneficial in combat scenarios where players need to manage their Prayer points closely. The additional +2 Prayer bonus can enhance the effectiveness of prayers such as:

Protect from Melee: Reduces damage taken from melee attacks.
Protect from Missiles: Reduces damage from ranged attacks.
Protect from Magic: Reduces damage from magical attacks.

This makes them particularly useful in boss fights or areas with high damage output where players need to sustain their Prayer for longer periods.

Ghostly Gloves and Aesthetics

Beyond their functional use, ghostly gloves are a popular choice among players for their aesthetic appeal. The ghostly set is often worn in conjunction with other ghostly items to create a cohesive look. Some players pair them with:

Ghostly robe
Ghostly hood
Various other cosmetic items

This aesthetic appeal has led to the ghostly set being a sought-after choice for role-players and those looking to stand out in the game.

Limitations of Ghostly Gloves

Despite their advantages, ghostly gloves do have limitations. Primarily, their lack of any significant defence stats means that players wearing them are more vulnerable in combat situations. Players should consider their playstyle and the type of content they are engaging in before choosing to wear ghostly gloves.

Not suitable for front-line combat due to low defence.
Limited applicability in PvP situations.

Ghostly Gloves in Player vs. Player (PvP)

In PvP scenarios, ghostly gloves are often less favored due to their low defensive stats. Players typically opt for items that provide higher defence or offensive bonuses. However, they can still be seen in specific niche builds where maximizing Prayer bonus is critical. For example, a player might opt for ghostly gloves in a build focused on Prayer-based combat styles.
